Travel insurance for Canadians traveling abroad
Enjoy your international trips with the peace of mind of being fully insured.
Your international travel insurance as a Canadian
Every year, thousands of Canadians travel abroad for vacations, studies or extended winter stays. The problem: your provincial health coverage only pays a very small portion outside Canada. A medical emergency can cost tens of thousands of dollars.
International travel insurance gives you immediate access to quality hospitals and medical care, often in your own language.
This insurance is designed especially for:
- Frequent travelers from Quebec and Ontario
- Canadians spending long periods outside the country
- Residents studying or working outside their home province
Everything you need to travel with confidence
MAIN COVERAGES OF INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL INSURANCE
Emergency medical fees and prescription drugs
Medical emergencies and hospitalization outside Canada
Support for family members in case of emergency
Coverage for long trips (snowbirds)
Ambulance transportation and medical repatriation
24/7 assistance in your language
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL INSURANCE
What do I need to buy international travel insurance?
- Valid passport.
- Travel departure and return dates.
- Address in Canada.
- Basic health information (medical questionnaire if required).
- Declaration of pre-existing conditions and current medications.
What does my provincial health plan cover outside Canada?
Very little. In most cases, only a small portion of emergency medical expenses is reimbursed, and you usually need to pay out of pocket first. A simple ambulance ride or surgery can cost thousands of dollars abroad.
Does my provincial health card work as international insurance?
No. Your provincial coverage is intended for care within Canada only. When you leave the country, you are basically unprotected. International travel insurance is the only way to avoid serious financial risk.
What exclusions should I keep in mind?
- Undeclared pre-existing medical conditions.
- Routine or follow-up treatments.
- Pregnancy, mental health conditions or non-emergency care.
- High-risk activities (extreme sports, scuba diving, etc.).
How long can I be covered during an international trip?
It depends on the insurance plan. Some policies cover short trips of a few days, while others are designed for longer stays of weeks or months, such as those used by many snowbirds.
Can I extend my policy while I’m already traveling?
In some cases yes, but not always. The safest option is to buy the full duration before departure or confirm in advance whether your policy allows extensions. Some insurers impose restrictions if you are already abroad.
