Travel Insurance for Canadians:
Planning to go on vacation, but not sure how you can protect your money against the cost of immediate medical assistance you may need?

Don’t worry, you can purchase Travel Insurance for Canadians, if you are taking a trip outside your province of residence.

How does Travel Insurance for Canadians work?

Travel Insurance for Canadians is designed to provide medical and optional non-medical emergency coverage to Canadian Citizens, Permanent and Temporary Residents, who are travelling abroad or to other provinces and territories across Canada.

Canadian Travel Insurance will cover of the costs of immediate medical attention you may require during your trip since your government health insurance plan will not be as useful outside your province of residence, in case you have an urgent health issue.

What are Travel Insurance Requirements?

As you already know, Canadian Residents are insured under their Provincial Healthcare Plans. However, it only covers a small portion of medical expenses incurred outside Canada.

Your government insurance coverage will also be severely limited while travelling to another province or territory within Canada, and even the slightest injury or illness can deal a significant blow to your budget.

If you are planning on going out of your province or abroad, travel health insurance for Canadians will provide you with a simple and affordable way to protect yourself from the costs of medical emergencies that may happen during the trip.

In order to be eligible for Travel Insurance, you MUST:

– Be a Canadian Resident
– Be currently enrolled in a provincial health insurance plan
– Meet other specific conditions set by a particular Canadian Insurance company

COVID-19 Coverage: Canadian insurance providers are now offering extended protection against COVID-19 related emergency treatment costs. Contact us to learn more and stay up to date with the latest changes regarding COVID-19 coverage and eligibility requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Still not sure what to do? Here is a list of our FAQ’s. To view the answer just click on the appropriate question box!

 

Q: Is travel insurance required for all out-of-province trips?
A: While travel insurance coverage is optional in most cases, it is highly recommended to purchase a suitable policy to take care of both medical and non-medical emergencies that may happen while you are away from your province of residence.

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.

Q: What are the types of travel insurance polices?
A: Mainly, there are 3 types of coverage readily available to Canadian residents who decide to travel out of province: Medical Emergency, Trip Cancellation & Interruption and Personal Effects coverage.

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.

Q: What is the difference between Single-Trip and Annual Plan travel insurance?
A: Single-Trip plan provides continuous coverage during 1 trip (for up to 1 year), while Annual Plan would cover you for an unlimited number of trips within a year but each of your covered trips will be limited to a certain number of covered days.

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.

Q: I have travel insurance with my credit card. Do I need another policy?
A: Travel insurance coverage provided with your credit card may not cover all possible expenses that are considered claim-eligible under a specialized travel insurance policy.

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.

Q: Can I cancel a policy if my travel plans change?
A: Yes, you can have your policy cancelled in case you are not going on a planned trip anymore.

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.

Q: Do I still need travel insurance if I travel to another province or territory in Canada?
A: It is highly recommended to purchase a travel insurance policy when you take a trip outside of your province of residence even if your destination is still in Canada.

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.

I used Arbetov when shopping for super visa insurance for my parents. I found them very well priced and of great value.Since then my mother's trip has been delayed many a time but Lea has been exceptional in promptly responding to my many requests to move the insurance start date.Well priced, prompt and friendly service. What more could you ask for!
