Changing the Effective Date:
You can request us to change the Effective Date, which is the start date of your insurance coverage, by contacting our Insurance Advisors. Please note that date changes can only be made before your coverage begins.
Monthly Payment Plan:
Destination Canada has recently introduced more payment flexibility with their monthly payment plan for Super Visa and Visitors insurance policies.

Important notes:
– A 2-month deposit is payable at the moment of purchase.
a) This is a security deposit for the last 2 month of the coverage period. This deposit becomes non-refundable once the policy is in effect.

– a 10% surcharge will apply to each monthly payment over the entire policy duration.
b) This surcharge is calculated based on the amount of the monthly premium.

Example: If the entire policy for 1 year costs $1200, then each monthly premium will be $100. A surcharge of $10 will be added to each monthly premium payable.

– The payment for the 1st month of coverage on the Effective Date.
c) All remaining payments will be charged from the credit card on file on that date each month while the policy is active.
d) Please note that in case the Effective Date is on the 29th, 30th or the 31st of a month, then consecutive monthly payments will be charged on the 28th for the remainder of the coverage period.

– In case of a failed payment, Destination Canada reserves the right to charge a $25 fee each time they are unable to collect the payment from the credit card on file.

Side-Trips Benefit:
Your Visitors to Canada insurance coverage is active, while you are travelling outside Canada, except for your country of origin/citizenship or any other country, where you are eligible for a government healthcare. You must spend the majority of policy period time in Canada (at least 51%) in order to be eligible for the benefit.

Trip-break Exclusion: You are allowed to visit your home country with an intention to return to Canada during the period of insurance coverage without having to cancel your policy. However, the costs incurred for any medical services in your country of origin are not covered by the Destination Canada.

Flight Accident Coverage:
With the Destination Canada’s insurance for Visitors to Canada and Super Visa, your insurance coverage begins when you get on board of your flight to Canada. Please note that the Effective Date you select for your policy should be the date of departure from home country in Pacific Standard Time PST.
Waiting Period:
There is NO waiting period, if the insurance policy is purchased prior to your arrival in Canada; or before the expiry date of an existing emergency healthcare plan with The Destination Travel Group Inc. or other insurer.

A waiting period will apply, if the policy is purchased:
– after arrival in Canada.
– after the expiry date of an existing insurance coverage plan with Destination Canada or another insurance provider.

a) 48-hour waiting period – if you purchase this policy within the first 30 days following the departure from your country of origin.
b) 10-day waiting period – if you purchase this policy after the 30 days following the departure from your country of origin.

Important Notice: Expenses related to any sickness that manifests itself during the waiting period are not covered under this insurance plan, even if the costs are incurred after the waiting period has ended.

Policy Wording is the official document that outlines and explains the benefits payable, eligibility requirements, exclusions and limitations as well as claims and refund procedures.
