VISITOR INSURANCE SERVICES

INSURANCE BROKERS IN MISSISSAUGA, ON

Visitor Insurance also known as Visitors to Canada insurance, such as tourists and international students also require comprehensive coverage, as do many new immigrants until they can be covered under a provincial health plan.

As a Tourist, IEC/Working Holiday participant or other type of visitor to the country, you should also get Visitors to Canada insurance coverage in order to protect your financial well-being from the costs of medical emergency treatment, which you may need during your stay in Canada.

Moreover, Returning Canadians as well as New Immigrants and Foreign Workers who are awaiting their provincial healthcare plan, are encouraged to get a private health insurance plan in order to avoid the risks of unnecessary medical care expenses during the provincial waiting period.

So in a nutshell, who needs Visitors to Canada insurance coverage:

• New Immigrants
• Foreign Workers
• IEC/Working Holiday Participants
• Returning Canadians
• Tourists / Visitors

Visitors to Canada include:

1. Canadians returning to Canada: There is a three-month waiting period in some provinces before the provincial health plan begins.
2. New Immigrants: will require emergency medical coverage until they are covered under a provincial health plan.
3. International Students: studying in Canada are not covered under a government health plan.

Coverage can be purchased for up to one year at a time, depending on the age of the applicant and can be renewed or extended. Depending on the applicant’s age, visitor’s policies will cover pre-existing conditions if stable for a specified number of days – usually 120-180 days. A routine doctor visit or elective treatment would not be covered under this type of policy.
