Why is travel health insurance necessary?
Some buy visitor to Canada health insurance to satisfy Canadian visa application requirements but the great majority of our visitor customers purchase such coverage because they are fully aware of the potential risks if they don't have it. Canada's universal health care is not available to people on visitor or short-term (less than 12 months) student and work visa. Since medical services offered to these short-term visa holders are not paid for by our universal medical care system, the government does not set the fees charged by Canadian doctors and hospitals. So it is misconception that medical care in Canada is free or cheap, it is not to people who are not insured by our government health insurance plan. For example, a day in intensive care at a major Canadian hospital can easily set you back $3,000 to $5,000.
