Basic Facts for Travel Insurance Canada
Posted on | November 23, 2009 | 18 Comments
Traveling may be fun and exciting, but it is not always easy and pleasant. There are times that an unforseen circumstance may interrupt your travel. These unforseen circumstances may make your trip more difficult and may cause some delays resulting in extra expenses to you. These circumstances may include illness during travel, weather related delays, lost or damaged baggage and other valuable items, airline schedule changes or cancelations, and missed connections due to flight delays. To secure your items and yourself in the possibility of these situations, you need to purchase a comprehensive travel insurance policy.
When you are traveling away from Canada, these situations may happen to you. There would be possibilities of illness, loss, delay and cancellation of flight. Nevertheless, the easy part is that there are companies that offer travel insurance for those who travel from Canada. These companies, such as Travel Insurance Quotes offer several plans in travel insurance:
• Emergency travel insurance for Canadian travelers – these policies covers emergency illness for travelers away from Canada. Tourists or visitors do not necessarily have privileges for emergency medical attention. But once you have this particular coverage that you can purchase from Travel Insurance Quotes, you can be entitled to medical care through the coverage of your travel insurance company. This can be purchased in a single trip. But if you are frequently traveling in a year, it is better to purchase the annual, multi trip for fuller protection and lesser cost. In the same way similar plans are available for long term travel or Canadian expatriates. Long term or ‘Expatriate’ medical insurance pays medical expenses when your provincial medical insurance plan do not cover you while away from Canada.
• Medical travel insurance for visitors to Canada – Companies such as Travel Insurance Quotes may also offer Medical coverage ideal for immigrants, foreign workers, international students, and tourists. With visitors medical travel insurance, you are entitled to a medical insurance in case you get sick or ill while in Canada.
• Trip cancellation travel insurance – Coverage that pays your ‘non-refundable’ expenses if you have to cancel your trip due to illness, bad weather, family emergency, airline delays, or work emergency. These plans offered by Travel Insurance Quotes will protect you should you trip be cancelled or cut short due to one of these covered events.
• Comprehensive travel insurance – Plans typically include emergency medical, trip cancellation, trip interruption, lost baggage, accidental death and dismemberment coverage. These plans are all-inclusive travel insurance. You will have complete protection in different cases for your trip away from Canada, may it be long term or short term.
Purchasing the appropriate travel insurance plans that can be acquired from Travel Insurance Quotes, will assure you have “peace of mind” against unforeseen events on your travel. Make sure you are adequately covered whether you are a Canadian traveler, Canadian expatriate, international student, foreign worker, tourist visiting Canada, or new immigrant to Canada.

I think that you will find a great deal on Moneysupermarket.com thats where I got my travel insurance, and they actually had to pay out on my policy as I ended up in a French hospital.
My insurance was about 40pounds, and it was for annual insurance! I think from memory you could go away for up to 94 days at a time, or 17days at a time if you included winter sports.
Hope this helps – just remember to read the small print about how many consecutive days away from the UK you are covered for! Happy Travels!

Here are some links-
I had a similar situation- I was living in the Caymans Islands, no longer a Canadian resident, and wanted to travel for the summer. But every policy required that Canadian citizens be insured in their home privince, which I no longer have as non-resident. IMG was the only one I found, but as you DO have Canadian insurance, this will be easy for you. There are lots of short-term plans.

It could very well be true. Although they are different countries to where you are, we are in the UK and when we book to go to Ireland the company we book with insists on having our insurance details. Besides, as the first answerer says…they would be daft to travel without it as the cost of treatment is far more than the cost of the insurance. Accidents do happen…believe me, I broke an elbow last year, and a few weeks after that was healed I broke my foot…if I had been abroad I would have been in sh*t street without insurance!

You can get a refund if your insurance covers illness as a reason for cancellation. Different policies cover different contingencies. The way you would prove illness is by a note from your physician.
InsureMyTrip.com is one site that has comparisons among policies. I'm sure there are others.

There are some good travel insurance companies. Get ones that pay your expenses or pay you in cash. Dont get ones that make you take another trip or give you a voucher to travel again with them.
I only buy insurance if the trip is WAY more than I can afford to lose.
Read the fine print of the policies before you purchase.
