Travel Insurance for visitors to Canada can be purchased prior to their departure from home or when they first arrive in Canada.
Arriving in a new country can be as daunting as it is exciting. To prevent any unnecessary anxiety, the Visitors to Canada Travel plan ensures that your stay here is worry-free.
The Plan provides protection against the high cost of emergency medical care for foreign visitors entering Canada for pleasure or business reasons, for foreign students, for immigrants or foreign workers entering Canada to lawfully seek permanent residence. Also, for returning Canadians awaiting eligibility for the Government health insurance plan to begin.
When this coverage is purchased prior to arrival in Canada, coverage becomes effective on the day you arrive. The plan is also available for purchase within 30 days of arrival, and coverage commences 72 hours following the date of application.
