Travel Insurance for Visiors, Workers and International Students,
Travel insurance is a type of insurance products that covers the costs and losses associated with traveling. It is a useful protection for those traveling domestically or internationally wether you are a tourist, worker or student.
International students in Canada are required to get a health insurance for the duration of their stay in Canada. Insurance premiums are usually included in the school fees that students need to pay to the school. Generally, International Student's coverage starts on the first day of class. This means that if you arrive in Canada one month before the start of your class, you don't have a coverage! This is where the travel insurance comes into play.
As a Temporary Foreign Worker or as a Permanent Resident, you may be eligible to Canada's free medical plan. However, some of the Province's health plan coverage starts 3 months upon your arrival. You would want to get a coverage as well for that 3 months.

- be valid for at least 1 year from the date you’ll enter Canada
