Travel Health Insurance
Planning on visiting Canada? If you aren’t a Canadian resident, you won’t be covered by Canadian provincial health plans. This means you could face significant out-of-pocket expenses if an unexpected illness or accident occurs.
We’ve got you covered
National Wealth Management provides convenient and affordable, and secure travel insurance for visitors to Canada. With medical insurance for visitors in Canada, you’ll be protected against the cost of unexpected medical emergencies. You can buy coverage before coming to Canada or after arriving, and it may also cover short trips outside of Canada.
Great protection for a range of situations
Health insurance for visitors in Canada is also a smart solution for:
- people who are in Canada on a work visa
- Canadians who are not eligible for benefits under a government health insurance plan
- those who are awaiting government health insurance plan coverage
Meeting Super Visa insurance requirements
Whether you’re applying for your own Super Visa or for a Parent or Grandparent Super Visa, you must have proof that you have obtained private medical insurance from a Canadian insurance company. Purchase our Canada visitor insurance to meet Super Visa insurance requirements.
