Travel Insurance for Visitors to Canada

Family or friends coming to stay? You may be planning a few day trips to tourist areas, outings to some local spots of interest, or culinary experiences you'd like to share. Travel for Visitors to Canada can be purchased prior to your visitors' departure or after they arrive. This gives you and them the comfort of knowing that they have financial protection against the cost of emergency medical care during their visit in Canada.

Travel medical insurance is often that last thing you think of when planning a trip to Canada. Canada, after all, is a peaceful country with placid lakes and pristine wilderness; not at all the kind of place where medical emergencies are likely to happen. Besides, there are more important things than travel medical insurance to worry about, right? Things like last-minute flight cancellations and overbooked hotel rooms.

Each plan is an outstanding value, made even better by our global network of multilingual coordinators. If you have a medical emergency while travelling within Canada or on a short side-trip, one toll-free phone call—anytime day or night—puts you in touch with a professional who will refer you to a Canadian doctor or facility in order for your to receive the care you need.

While travelling outside your own province, some medical and paramedical expenses may only be partially covered by your provincial health insurance program. Depending on your needs, you can opt for coverage on a daily or annual basis. Whether you travel frequently during the year, take regular sun destination trips or do only occasional short trips, there is a plan that’s right for you.
