Visitors to Canada Medical Insurance

Emergency Medical Insurance while staying Canada.

The Canadian health care system is one of the best in the world, but it is expensive. If you are visiting, studying, working as a foreign worker or immigrating to Canada from another country, unfortunately you are not covered by Canada's National Health Care program. Your local medical health insurance policy may not always provide adequate coverage when you're traveling or residing outside your home country.

Before you depart for Canada research your Visitors to Canada Emergency Travel Insurance options.

Single Trip versus Annual Plans

You can choose between single trip and annual emergency medical travel insurance plans. Ensure you purchase single trip coverage before you depart for Canada to avoid waiting periods before coverage begins. You can purchase single trip coverage for periods up to 1 year. If you decide to extend your stay, you can extend our coverage, but you may need to answer a medical questionnaire (any new injuries or illness may be excluded during the period of extension).

Annual plans offer you medical coverage for unlimited number of trips to Canada within a twelve month period. Manulife currently offers their Annual plan for trip lengths up to 30 days. If you plan several trips to Canada in the next year, you may find the Annual Emergency Medical Travel Insurance more cost effective.
