Whether you’re planning a visit, or possess a temporary work permit, there are many companies from whom you can buy travel insurance for Canada.
If you are moving to Canada through a permanent residence program, you may eventually enjoy publicly-funded healthcare in Canada — but you won’t be covered for the first few months after landing. This may also be the case if you are moving to Canada on a study permit or on a work permit (with some exceptions, see below). It’s important for you and your family, if applicable, to get quality health insurance for those early months, and Cigna Global is a leader in these policies.

If you’re participating in the IEC Working Holiday Visa in Canada program, you are required to have insurance that covers the full duration of your work permit and insurance that will cover repatriation costs. Provincial healthcare and medical cover from your employment typically do not cover these items, so you need to get separate travel insurance for Canada. Many firms have policies built especially for the IEC market, including True Traveller Travel Insurance, and BestQuote.
Provinces like British Columbia and Alberta are world-famous for skiing and snowboarding. If you want to hit the slopes, make certain your Canadian travel insurance policy contains coverage for any potential injuries.
