<\/h1>\nSpring has officially sprung and many people find themselves choosing Canada as their next travel destination or a chance to explore the country and visit their Canadian family and friends. It’s also a popular time for Canadian residents to invite their out-of-country relatives to come and visit.<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re planning a trip to Canada or welcoming your overseas guests,\u00a0Visitors to Canada (VTC) Insurance<\/a>\u00a0is what they need.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A common misconception about travel insurance is that your home country\u2019s health insurance will protect you wherever you go. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Once you leave home, your health care coverage may not cover you while in Canada. Pack your suitcase for things you can expect like the weather, but also remember to plan ahead for unexpected accidents and illness with\u00a0VTC Insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n You might be a last-minute packer but don\u2019t wait to purchase travel insurance.

Buy before you leave so you\u2019re covered as soon as you arrive in Canada.<\/p>\n An extra perk? Your VTC insurance may also cover visitors for short trips across the border into the United States \u2013 bonus!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re in Canada on a work visa, newly immigrated or returning to Canada after being away \u2013 visitor\u2019s insurance covers you as well. Temporary medical plans are available to fill the gap created by waiting periods and residency requirements for provincial healthcare.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unlike a work visa, a\u00a0Super Visa<\/a>\u00a0is only purchased for parents and grandparents that have children living in Canada. This multi-entry permit is valid for up to 10 years and allows parents and grandparents to stay up to 2 years in Canada per visit. The perks of this visa come with one particular cost \u2013 proof of purchase of Canadian medical insurance. It must be valid for at one year and offer a minimum of $100,000 in coverage. If you or your family member needs help with an insurance plan that will best fit your needs,\u00a0send us some details<\/a>\u00a0and we can help!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Canada is home to the Rocky Mountains, Great Lakes and countless national parks, just to name a few. Many adventure seekers world-wide come to explore these attractions. If this is you, guess what! With the\u00a0Adventure Sport Coverage<\/em>, you\u2019re able to get a rider on your existing travel insurance that will cover you on your next thrilling activity.
