Visitor Insurance
What is Visitor insurance?
A visitor visa (also called a temporary resident visa) is an official document that we stick in your passport. It shows that you meet the requirements needed to enter Canada.
If you are a visitor in Canada, and you are not prepared for an unforeseen medical emergency, your international travel can immediately turn into a terrifying situation, as the medical expenses at Canadian hospitals are considerably high. Also, most of the domestic medical coverage by insurance providers from across the globe does not cover medical situations that may occur when you are not in your home country.
The Government of Canada has designed a special visitors insurance for people visiting the country with a temporary purpose. Whether you are visiting the country for work, for education, or just to spend time with your family and friends living in Canada, or just as a tourist to explore the country, do not let your medical coverage be a matter of concern. While you plan your travel to Canada, consider Visitors Insurance and get coverage for all your medical emergencies in case of any illness or accident.

The Canadian government allows anyone eligible for "Visitors' to Canada program" to visit the country for 6 months.
Those who wish to stay longer have to apply for an extension, paying a new fee, every six months.
