Immigrants and Visitors to Canada Coverage
Welcome to Canada!
Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) has introduced a new Parent and Grandparent Visa to allow eligible parents and grandparents of Canadian Citizens easier entry into Canada, called the SuperVisa. Visits of up to 2 years are allowable under the program.
As travel insurance brokers, Snowbird Medi-Quote can help you to choose the coverage that will comply with the CIC's requirements and offer the best price. We offer numerous plans that comply, so calling us is like making 5 calls!!!
As part of the new program, applicants must provide proof they have purchased Canadian Health insurance Coverage. Stipulations of this insurance are:
- The plan must cover health care, hospitalization and repatriation;
- The Maximum payout must be $100,000 or more;
- The policy must be valid for 365 days;
- There must be a confirmation of insurance available for review by a port of entry officer;
- The coverage must be continuous for 365 days, even if the applicant chooses to come and go from Canada, allowing them to return to their home country as many times as needed throughout the year;
- No minimum deductible is required, and there are numerous deductibles to choose from, but we recommend a $0 to ensure the best protection (a deductible is the amount the applicant would have to pay out of pocket if they had a claim);
- Refunds are available if the applicant is denied entry into Canada, or if they choose to leave the Country before one year;
Not all plans are created equally. Some plans do not provide coverage for currently treated medical problems, so you must carefully choose the plan that is right for you.
