Visiting, returning to Canada or newly landed?
For those who are coming to Canada, including visitors to Canada, landed immigrants and Canadian citizens returning home after a lengthy time spent abroad, in an emergency, you will need insurance coverage to see a doctor. Read on to learn more about insurance for visitors to Canada and returning Canadians.
Coverage for landed immigrants and returning Canadians
Are you a newly landed immigrant to Canada? Or a Canadian citizen returning from another country who has lost your provincial healthcare coverage because you were out of the country for more than 182 days (212 days for Ontario)?
Either way, you will need emergency health insurance coverage for a minimum of 90 days upon your arrival in Canada to fill the gaps created by waiting periods and residency requirements for provincial health insurance plan coverage.

Protect your finances while you’re waiting for provincial coverage
Every Canadian province and territory administers its own health plan and most of them have at least a 90-day waiting period before you can qualify for benefits. Thus, it is critically important that you find out more about emergency medical coverage.
Without adequate protection in place, if an illness, accident or medical emergency occurs while you are waiting for provincial healthcare coverage, you will have to pay for the emergency healthcare-related services you receive out of your own pocket.
Visitors to Canada
Friends or family planning on visiting Canada? Do you realize they could end up having to pay huge medical bills should a medical emergency occur while they’re here because they’re not covered by provincial health insurance plans?
Regardless of whether they’re going to be here for a few days, a few months, or a couple of years, emergency medical insurance for visitors to Canada is absolutely essential because even though the Canadian healthcare system is one of the best in the world, it can be very expensive for those who don’t have coverage.
