What Visitors to Canada Insurance Typically Covers
Visitors to Canada insurance is designed for people entering Canada who are not eligible for provincial healthcare. It generally covers unexpected medical expenses during the visit, including emergency hospital care, physician visits, diagnostic services, ambulance transportation, and medically necessary prescription drugs. Coverage details, exclusions, and claim procedures vary by insurer and by chosen plan tier always review the current policy wording of any option you are considering before purchasing.
Duration and Rate Structure
Visitors to Canada insurance rates are typically calculated on a per-day basis with a minimum daily rate. Longer trips have higher total premiums but often benefit from a lower per-day cost. Rates are also influenced by the traveller's integer age at the policy start date, chosen coverage amount, chosen deductible, and pre-existing condition status.
If the Traveller Has Pre-Existing Medical Conditions
The pricing above is for a traveller with no disclosed pre-existing medical conditions. If the traveller has diabetes, hypertension, cardiac history, thyroid conditions, or any other condition they take medication for or receive treatment for, they should be evaluated under each insurer's pre-existing coverage plan tier. Pre-existing coverage typically costs more than the standard exclusion plan, and each insurer applies its own stability period rules before covering a condition.
Coverage Amounts Beyond $100K
The pricing above uses $100,000 coverage. Higher coverage tiers are available from most insurers commonly $150K, $200K, and $300K. RIMI is the only insurer in the Canadian market that offers coverage up to $1 million for visitors. Higher coverage tiers generally add premium proportionally.

Is Visitors to Canada insurance required for someone visiting Canada?
Visitors to Canada 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 significant. Many families choose visitor insurance to bridge that coverage gap.
How is Visitors to Canada insurance different from Super Visa insurance?
Super Visa insurance is a specific product designed to meet IRCC requirements for parents and grandparents on the Super Visa program. It requires minimum coverage of $100,000 CAD and must be valid for 365 days from a Canadian-licensed insurer. Visitors to Canada insurance is a broader product with flexible duration (from a few days to 12 months) intended for visitors on a regular visitor visa or eTA.
What does Visitors to Canada insurance typically cover?
Visitors to Canada 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. Always review the current policy wording of any option being considered.
Can I get Visitors to Canada insurance for a traveller with pre-existing medical conditions?
Yes. Most major Canadian insurers offer plans that may cover stable pre-existing conditions, subject to each insurer's stability period requirements and other underwriting rules. Pre-existing coverage typically costs more than the standard exclusion plan. Coverage is not guaranteed and depends on the specific condition and its stability history.
Does deductible affect the premium for Visitors to Canada insurance?
Yes. Selecting a higher deductible generally reduces the premium. Moving from $0 to $1,000 deductible typically reduces the premium by approximately 15% to 20% across Canadian insurers for most profiles.
Can I buy Visitors to Canada insurance after the visitor has already 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's underwriting.
What happens if the visitor needs to extend their stay beyond the policy end date?
Many Canadian insurers offer policy extensions from within Canada, subject to the insurer's rules. Extension is typically not automatic and depends on no claims having been made and on the insurer's approval. Always contact the insurer or your broker before the current policy expires to inquire about extension options.
Is the pricing the same in every Canadian province?
Pricing is generally similar across most Canadian provinces. Some small variation may exist for certain provinces. Use the DaddySafe comparison tool with the specific destination province to see any variation.
