Temporary Residents: Super Visa

Each year, Canada welcomes visitors from all over the world. Whether these visitors to Canada are coming to Canada as a tourist, to visit family for an extended period of time, to study, or to make Canada their new home – visitors to Canada insurance is a must!

Visitors to Canada are not covered under Canada’s universal healthcare system and those who are immigrating to Canada may be subject to a waiting period before they are eligible for their Government Health Insurance Plan (GHIP). This means that if a visitor to Canada falls ill or has an accident, they would have to pay for the emergency medical costs out-of-pocket. These costs of medical care in Canada can be very expensive and financially devastating to families.

To help provide financial protection, it is highly recommended, and sometimes mandatory for a visitor to purchase visitors to Canada insurance. These plans provide coverage for a sudden and unforeseen accident or illness.
