Travel Insurance for Canadians
If you’re a Canadian planning to travel out of province or abroad, it’s important to consider purchasing travel insurance to protect yourself from any unforeseen circumstances. Travel insurance can provide coverage for a variety of situations, including medical emergencies, trip cancellation or interruption, lost or stolen baggage, and more.
As you may be aware, Canadian residents are covered by their provincial healthcare plans. It does, however, only cover a part of medical expenses incurred outside of Canada.
While traveling to another province or territory within Canada, your government insurance coverage will be severely limited, and even minor injuries or illnesses can have a big financial impact.
If you intend to travel outside of your province or abroad, travel health insurance for Canadians will give you with a simple and cost-effective solution to protect yourself from the costs of medical crises that may occur during your trip.
