Is visitor insurance required to enter Canada as a visitor?
Visitor insurance is not legally required for most visitors to Canada. However, provincial and territorial healthcare plans do not cover visitors, and unexpected medical costs in Canada can be substantial. Many families choose visitor insurance to bridge that coverage gap.
How is visitor insurance different from Super Visa insurance?
Super Visa insurance is a specific product designed for parents and grandparents on the Super Visa program it requires minimum $100,000 coverage from a Canadian-licensed insurer valid for 365 days. Visitor insurance is a broader product with flexible duration (days to 12 months) for visitors on regular visitor visas or eTAs.
What does visitor insurance typically cover?
Visitor insurance generally covers unexpected medical expenses during the visit including emergency hospital care, emergency physician visits, diagnostic services, ambulance transportation, and medically necessary prescription drugs related to a covered event. Coverage details and exclusions vary by insurer and plan tier.
Can a 75-year-old with pre-existing conditions get visitor insurance for Canada?
Yes. Most major Canadian insurers offer plans that may cover stable pre-existing conditions, subject to each insurer's stability period requirements. Pre-existing coverage typically costs more than the standard exclusion plan. Coverage is not guaranteed and depends on the condition and its stability history.
Does deductible affect visitor insurance premium?
Yes. A higher deductible generally reduces the premium. Moving from $500 to $1,000 deductible typically reduces the premium by roughly 10-15% for most profiles.
Can I buy visitor insurance after the traveller has arrived in Canada?
Some insurers allow purchase after arrival, and some require purchase before departure. Rules and any waiting period vary by insurer. Options and eligibility depend on the specific insurer.
Can visitor insurance be extended if the trip is prolonged?
Many insurers offer policy extensions from within Canada, subject to their rules. Extension is not automatic and typically requires no claims having been made and insurer approval. Contact your broker or insurer before the current policy expires to inquire about extension.
How does the pricing vary by province?
