Visitor Insurance

Visitor Insurance

Provincial health plans don't cover visitors to Canada, and a single emergency can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Visitor Visa Insurance provides emergency medical coverage for unexpected expenses — hospital stays, emergency treatment, doctor visits and ambulance services — from the day your guest arrives.

Why it matters

Visitors are generally not covered under Canada's public healthcare system. Without insurance, a medical emergency can result in thousands of dollars in unexpected costs. Visitor insurance provides financial protection and peace of mind, so your guests can receive care without worrying about the bill.

What this coverage includes

  • Emergency medical coverage, hospitalization, surgeries and ambulance services
  • Doctor visits and prescription drugs related to a covered emergency
  • Accident and injury protection
  • Flexible coverage amounts, deductibles and policy durations
  • Coverage for stable pre-existing conditions through select plans
  • Protection for both visitors and the families hosting them

Who it's for

  • Visitors and tourists to Canada
  • Family members visiting Canada
  • Temporary residents
  • New immigrants waiting for provincial health coverage

A higher deductible can lower your premium — many insurers offer a reduced rate when you choose one, depending on the plan, age and deductible selected.
