Why visitors to Canada need emergency medical insurance

Visitors, new immigrants, and returning Canadians are not covered by Canada's provincial health plans, and a single visit to a Canadian emergency room can cost thousands of dollars. Visitors to Canada insurance pays for unexpected emergency medical care — hospitalization, doctors, ambulance, prescriptions, and emergency dental — so a health emergency doesn't turn into a financial one. It's a requirement for the Super Visa and strongly recommended for anyone arriving on a visitor visa or eTA.

What visitors insurance covers

Plans from our partner insurers typically include emergency hospital and medical care, emergency dental, ambulance and emergency transportation, repatriation, and follow-up treatment for a covered emergency. Coverage amounts range from $25,000 up to $150,000 or more, with options for stable pre-existing conditions and side trips outside Canada. Many insurers ask no medical questions for applicants under age 55, and most plans meet the federal Super Visa coverage requirement.
