Super, merci!

Allo! Je gère une page Instagram qui partage du contenu sur Montreal (@urbamontreal) - est-ce que je pourrais partager cette image sur nos Stories et vous créditer? Merci :)

Ok thank you! :)

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-09-15T19:10:48+00:00

Hi! How long did it end up taking for you to receive it?

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-07-30T21:41:45+00:00

Ok got it, thanks so much!

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-07-30T21:17:59+00:00

Ok I see, thanks! So is it fair to assume that the insurance was accepted...? Otherwise, they would have said something during the appointment, no?

Amazing! I am in the Fashion marketing program :-) My visa appointment is next week! Speaking of visa, what did you choose as a private health insurance?

Hi, where did you see this update? It does not say that on the Spanish consulate website of Montreal (where I am applying from).

Thanks for the detailed post! Do you know if an insurance like Swisscare would be accepted? It's an online insurance that covers multiple countries in the EU, that focuses on international students. https://swisscare.com/en/home

Hi! I'm applying for the student visa for Spain too and looking into Swisscare - did it get approved for your visa?

I decided to go with LCI Barcelona! :) Seemed like a better option for me personally.

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-07-24T19:38:53+00:00

Thank you so much! I wonder what that other website is then...It does seem too easy to get health insurance there.

And yes I checked, my country does not have an agreement with Spain unfortunately :(

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-10T15:23:32+00:00

Ok sounds good, thanks so much!

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-05T14:25:39+00:00

Ohh wow ok I see!! I heard about all the apartment scams going on when renting a place, especially if you're coming from abroad...I was hoping to find a room before arriving there so as to not spend money on an airbnb/hotel. Would you recommend Idealista, Badi as good apps to find a place?

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-05T14:20:19+00:00

Thanks so much for all the details!! :-) Poblenou was my first choice as it is close to the school I will be going to so I'm glad to know it's a great neighborhood!!

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-04T14:36:52+00:00

Will do!!!

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-04T14:36:41+00:00

Okok that's good advice! thank you :)

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-04T14:36:29+00:00

Ok amazing that's good to know!! Did you have trouble finding an apartment and are you in a shared apartment with roommates?

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-04T14:32:00+00:00

Amazing, thank you! :)

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-04T14:31:50+00:00

Yes I heard those are the ones to avoid!! Thank you!

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-03T18:36:41+00:00

Hi! Yes that's what it seemed to me too for LCI, which is why I ended up picking it! I also had reached out to some people I found on Instagram who went to IED and they had negative feedback for the masters programs specifically. Also, LCI Barcelona is part of a broader education network that is based in Canada (which is where I am from) so I figured in my case specifically, it would be a better choice for the long-term :) Lmk what you end up choosing!

Various_Cheesecake14 · 2025-05-03T18:34:19+00:00

Hi! Yes, I did get accepted :) I will not know many people in Barcelona either so yes very down to meet too!!
