Do I need Visitor Insurance to visit Canada?
While it's not mandatory (it's mandatory for super visa applicants) to have visitors insurance for your trip to Canada, we highly recommend it. Your journey to Canada is all about making memories, and unforeseen events can disrupt those plans if you're not adequately covered. A robust travel insurance plan offers you convenient protection against such unforeseen circumstances.
Consider this scenario: even a single day in a Canadian hospital can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $14,000. While we hope you never encounter such a situation, unexpected incidents like these can result in thousands of dollars in medical expenses that aren't covered by Canada's public healthcare system. Travel insurance steps in to help cover these unforeseen costs, giving you peace of mind throughout your Canadian adventure.
