You and your eligible dependents are able to participate in the plan as of your hire date. You must be actively at work when coverage takes effect, otherwise the coverage will not be effective until you return to work.

Increases in your benefits while you are covered by this plan will not become effective unless you are actively at work.

You must be a resident of Canada. Temporary, part-time and seasonal employees may not join the plan.
