Whether you're just visiting Canada or immigrating permanently, it is almost always a wise idea to purchase some insurance coverage. Insurance protects you from unexpected costs and risks that you can't otherwise afford. Usually, newcomers to Canada should consider health insurance, auto insurance if you plan to drive, and home or renter's insurance. Why? Because having the right coverage gives you peace of mind and helps you feel more secure as you settle into your new life in Canada. Here's our page dedicated to sharing all our resources about insurance in Canada.
