Thousands of Canadians travel outside of their province or territory of residence each year, for business and pleasure, alone or with family and friends. But those who go without travel insurance do so at great risk to their health, finances and peace of mind.
Protect your health and well being
If you require medical assistance of any kind —including medication, physician visits, or a hospital stay—while overseas, in the United States or even in the next province, it will cost you. Your provincial or territorial health insurance only covers you for specific health expenses incurred in your home province or territory. Without excess hospital and travel medical insurance, a two-week vacation can easily be marred by something as basic as the flu or a broken arm. A one-day trip across the border can turn into a medical and financial nightmare. Many hospitals in the United States and other countries won't even admit patients lacking adequate medical coverage.
