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’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.
