Travel Insurance for 4 months in Canada

Hi ALL,

I'm off to Canada to study for 4 months later this year.

Does anyone know of a travel insurance policy which will be suitable?

I don't need cover for medical expenses as I get this through the University Health Scheme...so it's just my belongings I'm taking with me, which will include laptop, i-pod, camera etc., cash, cards etc..

Thanks for your advice in anticipation....
