Why do you need Visitors Insurance?

Visitors Insurance provides essential medical coverage for those traveling to Canada from abroad. Since healthcare in Canada can be costly for non-residents, having proper insurance ensures you won't face significant medical bills in case of illness, injury, or emergencies. Additionally, many Canadian visas require proof of insurance before entry. A Visitors Insurance policy helps you stay protected and compliant with visa requirements, covering medical expenses, hospital visits, emergency transportation, and other healthcare needs – giving you peace of mind throughout your stay.

Super Visa Medical Insurance

If you're traveling to Canada on a Super Visa, our medical insurance plans ensure you meet the program's requirements while staying protected during your visit. Designed specifically for Super Visa holders, these plans cover emergency medical care, hospital stays, and more. Whether you're visiting family or exploring Canada, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing you're covered in case of the unexpected.

Why Home Country Insurance Isn't Enough

Even if you have insurance in your home country, it's still recommended to purchase Visitors Insurance for your trip to Canada. Many domestic plans provide little to no coverage for medical expenses abroad, and Canadian visas often require proof of insurance before entry. Visitors Insurance ensures you meet these requirements while providing comprehensive protection for healthcare costs during your stay.

What's covered

Understanding your coverage shouldn't be complicated. Here's what you get.

Eligibility

Visitors Insurance is available to individuals visiting Canada from abroad who do not have Canadian provincial health coverage. This insurance is designed for tourists, temporary workers, students, or family members visiting relatives in Canada. To be eligible, you typically need to be in good health and not traveling for medical treatment purposes.
