Frequently Asked Questions
Provincial health insurance only covers part of the medical expenses incurred outside your province of residence. There are limitations, such as ambulance fees, repatriation costs, and prescription charges. It’s recommended to have insurance when travelling within Canada to cover these gaps.
Pre-existing conditions are those present before purchasing travel insurance. Coverage for pre-existing conditions is available if the condition has been stable for a period defined by the policy, which varies based on age. You can choose the Option: Reduced Stability Period for a shorter waiting period. For more details, visit our blog or contact one of our agents.

For a pre-existing medical condition to be covered by travel insurance, it must be stable for a period defined in the contract.
