Are you planning to receive family in Canada, or are you an entrepreneur seeking help from an international worker? Be aware that visitors to Canada insurance is necessary if you do not have government health insurance.  Securing Visitors to Canada Insurance before leaving to Canada is an essential step in ensuring a safe and hassle-free trip.

What are the types of Insurance coverages?

Visitors to Canada Insurance is divided in two parts: Visitors to Canada and Super Visa Insurance. For Visitors to Canada Insurance, your coverage can vary between $10,000 to $300,000 with or without a deductible, for the chosen duration of your policy.  The deductible may be advantageous when it is applicable only in hospitals, and not in private clinics. To this end, your deducible reduces the cost of your insurance.

Visitors to Canada Insurance is for:

  • Visitors planning to stay in Canada;
  • Foreign workers;
  • Newcomers who do not yet have access to provincial health care;
  • International students:
  • Expatriate Canadians visiting their families;
  • Family of Canadian citizens visiting for a certain period of time;

Super Visa

Super Visa insurance is a type of insurance offered to parents or grandparents wishing to visit their families. The Super Visa itself allows residence in Canada for a certain period of time.

To be eligible for obtaining the Super Visa Insurance, the government requires applicants to:

  • Hold proof of private medical insurance offered by a Canadian company

The medical insurance must:

  • Be for a minimum of one year;
  • Provide emergency medical coverage for $100,000;
  • Cover the costs of health care, hospitalization and repatriation;
  • Be paid in full before the policy comes in force;
