Important Notice: Not all of the Canadian insurance providers offer additional non-medical coverage. Please contact our insurance advisors if you are not sure which travel insurance plan is right for you.
More specifically, your provincial insurance coverage will not cover the majority of possible costs associated with emergency health care while you are out of province. Hence, you will be responsible for payment in case you require immediate medical help.
In addition, please note that you may be specifically required to provide a proof of coverage when you apply for a certain type of visa when you travel outside of Canada.
Also, you can purchase a bundled policy that includes 2 out of 3 types of coverage or even an All-Inclusive Plan to give yourself a greater peace of mind.
Most commonly, Annual Plan covers 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 days per trip. Please note that the number of covered days will vary depending on the insurance provider. You can contact our Insurance Advisors for more information.
Specifically, credit card insurance on average provides lower benefit limits as well as a restricts the duration of your covered travel time to a certain number of days.
The best way to determine whether your credit card insurance is comprehensive enough to provide sufficient coverage during your trip is to thoroughly review it with your insurance provider.
Please note that refund policies would be a little different depending on the insurance provider. In most cases, you can only cancel your policy prior to the Effective date of your insurance or prior to departure from Canada to begin your trip.
Provincial insurance plan will not cover all of the costs associated with medically required services while you are away. That is why, you should get a proper travel insurance policy to cover possible medical emergency expenses where your provincial coverage will not suffice.
