Visitors to Canada insurance is indispensable coverage for anyone planning to visit Canada, either for business or pleasure. This policy is designed to cover emergency medical expenses such as hospitalization, ambulance services, and treatments in the event of an injury or illness during the visit. This is particularly important since visitors to Canada are responsible for their own medical costs.
This insurance is suitable for various categories of visitors:
However, it’s important to note that residents of Canada covered by a government health insurance plan (GHIP) are not eligible for Visitors to Canada Insurance.
This insurance offers coverage for emergency medical treatment and over 150 adventure activities, making it perfect for those planning to partake in outdoor activities like skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, playing sports, hiking, or camping. It also provides coverage for those waiting for government health benefits to kick in.
Visitors to Canada insurance is an emergency-only coverage. It does not cover non-emergency expenses such as regular doctor appointments, refilling prescriptions, or checking pre-existing medical conditions.
Ideally, visitors should purchase travel insurance as soon as their travel plans are confirmed. This insurance must be purchased prior to or within seven days of arrival in Canada. After this period, coverage is not offered. At Medi-Quote Insurance Brokers, we make the process easy.
