Emergency medical coverage for family and friends visiting Canada.
Visitors are not covered by provincial health plans, and a hospital stay in Canada can cost thousands of dollars a day. Visitors to Canada insurance covers emergency medical care for a set trip length.
It is different from Super Visa insurance, which must meet IRCC's requirements, including at least $100,000 of coverage for at least a year. For shorter visits, you choose the coverage amount, deductible and whether stable pre-existing conditions are covered.
