Should an individual have been a student at a school outside of the Northwest Territories or Nunavut during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period; the individual will be deemed to have maintained his or her principal residence in the Northwest Territories or Nunavut for that period, so long as he or she has maintained a valid Northwest Territories or Nunavut Health Care Card for that period as well.
