The Importance of
Travel Insurance in Canada
Did you know that your provincial health plan may not fully cover medical expenses when travelling to another province? Unexpected costs—such as ambulance services, emergency medical care, repatriation, and prescription drugs—may not be covered or could be only partially reimbursed.
Our flexible travel insurance plans help fill these gaps, offering comprehensive coverage, 24/7 travel assistance, and Flight Delay Service.

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.
