Visitors to Canada Insurance

Did you know that the average cost of a hospital stay in Canada can range from $8,000 to $12,000? And a hospital stay that includes time in intensive care can easily cost over $50,000. We recommend choosing the highest amount of coverage per traveller to limit the chances that you'll end up having to pay medical expenses yourself.

We’ve got your back every step of the way!

Choose from a range of options tailored specifically to

  • visitors with or without a visa
  • international students or foreign workers with visas
  • newcomers waiting for provincial coverage
  • Canadians not covered under a provincial plan
