Monthly or annual?

Monthly payments can spread the cost; a lump sum pays the premium at once. Availability and terms vary by provider, and IRCC requires proof that the policy is paid. We can confirm which options satisfy the current requirements.

Health history matters

Declare all pre-existing medical conditions. Stability clauses may apply, so discuss conditions, medication changes and recent treatment with us before choosing a plan. If a visa is denied, ask us about any refund options that may apply.

Super Visa questions

Is insurance mandatory for a Super Visa?

Yes. Applicants need qualifying emergency medical insurance for at least one year, with at least $100,000 per person, and must show that the policy has been paid.

What happens if the visa is denied?

Ask us about refund options if the visa is denied. The available process and conditions depend on the insurer and policy.

Can parents with conditions such as diabetes get coverage?

Coverage may be available, but the condition must be declared and a stability clause may apply. We can help compare wording based on the visitor’s medical situation.

Monthly or annual—which is better?

Monthly payments spread the cost; annual payment completes it in one amount. Availability, fees and terms vary, and Super Visa applicants should confirm that the chosen arrangement provides acceptable proof of payment.

Does the plan cover side trips outside Canada?

Some policies may include limited side-trip coverage, subject to their terms and time limits. Ask us to confirm this feature before travel.

Common questions

Insurance, explained plainly.

Every application is different. These answers are a starting point for a more specific conversation.

How is term life different from permanent life insurance?

Term insurance covers a set period, while whole life and universal life are designed to remain in force for life when policy requirements are met. Permanent policies generally cost more and may include cash-value features.

How much life insurance should I consider?

Think about income your family may need, mortgage and other debts, final expenses, education goals and existing savings or coverage. The calculator above offers a simple planning estimate, not a recommendation.

What affects my life insurance premium?

Common factors include age, health, tobacco use, coverage amount, policy type, term length, occupation, lifestyle and underwriting classification. Final pricing comes from the insurer after review.

Does provincial health coverage protect me abroad?

Provincial plans may cover only a limited portion of out-of-country medical expenses. Travel medical coverage can help address eligible emergency costs, subject to the policy’s limits, exclusions and conditions.

Can visitors to Canada buy medical insurance?

Visitor medical insurance options are available for eligible travellers. The right plan depends on age, trip length, coverage amount, deductible and medical history, including any pre-existing-condition requirements.

Can I ask questions before applying?

Yes. Call or email us to discuss your situation and the information you may need before deciding whether to apply.
