An overview travel insurance for visiting Canada

Travel Insurance Canada

Canada is among the more popular tourist destinations, especially for visitors from the US, the UK, and other European countries. Beyond tourism, people travel to Canada for work, for education as well as to visit friends and family. Given this range of visitors, some stay for a few days while others stay for few months.

Recent statistics indicate that the percentage of international tourists to Canada has increased, which includes a 20% increase in visitors from Australia, 15% increase in German visitors, and a 12% increase in visitors from Mexico.

An increase in visitors to Canada has raised some valid concerns about healthcare of the visitors while in the country. While many countries including the 26 Schengen countries and countries like Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Cuba, Russia...have mandated the requirement of travel health insurance, Canada requires health insurance only for a Super Visa and not for a visitor visa.

In general, travel health insurance is a very important requirement while traveling outside your home country. This is particularly important where healthcare is expensive to relieve the travellers from paying for outstanding medical cost which might result from an unexpected sickness or injury. Recent tragic incidents like the crash on highway 401 south of Ottawa make this point evident to all tourists and highlights the need for health insurance during international travel.

It may seen paradoxical to buy travel insurance for visiting Canada from a website called American Visitor Insurance, however here you find excellent international travel insurance plans which cover travellers outside their home country and work very well in Canada.

These travel health insurance plans typically do not include preventive care and routine doctor visits, prescription medications for pre-existing conditions. They do however cover unexpected sickness and injury fully.

These plans have great coverage for emergency medical evacuation, repatriation. These plans do cover acute onset of a pre-existing condition and recently most of plans have extended this benefit for people up to the age of 80. Some of these plans have great adventure sports coverage which is great for tourists who love sports and tour around to participate in their favorite sports activities.

Major cities in Canada are very cosmopolitan with residents from around the globe and from various different cultures. These international residents often want to bring their parents and other family members to visit Canada for a few months. Most of these visitors are older in age and have pre-existing conditions like Diabetes, Heart diseases... It is important for the insurance plans to provide coverage for acute onset of pre-existing conditions.

There are many US insurance companies have designed comprehensive travel insurance plans with excellent coverage for all the benefits mentioned above including coverage for acute onset of pre-existing condition. The following are some of the popular international travel insurance plans.

  • The Atlas Travel insurance plan from WorldTrips is a comprehensive plan that provides worldwide coverage including and excluding US. This plan has upgraded the benefits to cover acute onset of pre-existing condition for people over 70 up to age 80 WorldTrips has another version of this plan called Atlas Premium. This plan is similar to Atlas Travel plan and has higher coverage for political evacuation, trip interruption and delay...
  • Seven Corners offers the Travel Medical insurance plans for international travelers.
  • International Medical Group (IMG) offers the Patriot America Plus which is another comprehensive plan that is popular among visitors traveling outside their home country.

  • INF travel insurance offers visitors health insurance for visiting Canada. One of their plans (Elite) has excellent coverage of pre-existing medical conditions beyond the usual coverage for "acute onset" of pre-existing conditions which is a unique offering.

    You can compare their plans using this link and purchase the one you are interested in by choosing the "buy now" button for the appropriate plan: Please note that the Elite plan insurance and Premier Insurance are cheaper per month if you purchase at least 90 days the first time you buy them. You can compare all available INF US visitor insurance.

Documentation for temporary resident visa in Canada

  • A valid travel document such as passport.
  • 2 passport size photos (recently taken).
  • Application fee (Fee is non refundable even if the visa application is rejected).
  • Proof of financial support, accommodation and duration of stay.
  • Other documents such as identification cards, proof of employment, letter of invitation, proposed itinerary...

US Travel health insurance for Canadians in the USA

Can I get US insurance when I am already in the US? Does the warning level from my country matter to getting US insurance?

YES! Canadians CAN purchase US travel insurance policies from us to cover the remainder of their stay (as long as they like). The travel insurance plans that cover COVID have been written not to exclude coverage based on these levels issued by any government authorities.

Note that the policies are generally renewable, so if plans change (as they so often do these days), the policies can be extended (minimum of 5 days and up to 12 months). Policies are available up to $100,000 for persons in their 70s and up to $50,000 for persons in their 80s. You can use our search engine to determine the best prices for you based on age and deductible you'd like.

The deductible on a comprehensive policy is generally a one-time payment if there are any medical expenses (doctor visit, ER visit, medications, etc). A higher deductible will give a lower premium cost, so it is a balance of what you feel you can pay out in the unlikely event you will need medical attention, and how much the policy costs you per month and day.

When you purchase the policy, you will enter your Canadian address as your "home" or "residence" address regardless of whether you own a home in the US or not. The "residence" country and the "destination" country CANNOT be the same. Then, you can choose the start date (even if it says trip start date) as the first day you need the policy. And, even though you choose an "Trip end date" you can always extend most policies without issue (just do not wait until they have expired).

Unfortunately, insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions is very limited on most US visitor policies for foreign visitors. Some policies will cover "acute onset" of pre-existing conditions which should mean life-threatening emergencies due to pre-existing conditions, but they have all recently excluded chronic and congenital disorders from that coverage. As a non-medical person, I'm not sure what illnesses/disorders that leaves that WOULD be covered. The Safe Travels Elite (a fixed plan) and Safe Travels Comprehensive offers some coverage $25,000 or $15,000 for a cardiac issue. The Elite insurance, Elite Plus insurance, Elite 90 insurance,Premier Plus insurance and Premier insurance are cheaper per month if you purchase at least 90 days the first time you buy them. Hop! Mindoro Travel Assistance, Hop! WorldHopper, Hop! Travel Assistance For USA and Hop! TripAssist Plus offers medical assistance for pre-existing conditions.

While there will always be some risk involved while traveling and staying in the US, travelers do have travel insurance options for visiting the US. Compare US travel insurance for Canada and buy the plan that best fits your needs.

As ever, we wish you safe and happy travels!

What are the visa requirements for non US citizens visiting Canada?

There are more than 35 million annual visitors to Canada either as tourists, students, temporary workers, visitors or businessmen... While US citizens and residents do not need a visa to visit Canada, foreign visitors visiting Canada from many other nations need to apply for a temporary Resident Visa.

Recently a new visa known as Parents and Grand Parents Super Visa has been announced by the Canadian government. This helps Canadian citizens whose parents and grandparents (who are not Canadian citizens) want to visit Canada and stay for up to 2 years without any need to renew the status.

Pre-existing conditions visitors insurance

Travel insurance tips for travelers with pre-existing conditions

Here are some travel insurance tips for travelers with pre-existing conditions

  1. Choose a travel medical insurance plan that covers pre-existing conditions.
  2. Read the policy carefully to understand what is covered and what is not.
  3. Be aware of waiting periods for coverage of pre-existing conditions.
  4. Consider purchasing a US foreign national health insurance policy with higher coverage limits.
  5. Take a copy of your medical records and a list of medications with you when you travel.
  6. Be sure to take your prescription and medication with you during your trip.
  7. Learn how to access healthcare at your destination.
  8. Contact your US foreign health insurance provider immediately in case of any medical emergency.

What is visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions?

There are several visitors insurance plans available for international travel. However, many travel insurance and visitors insurance plans exclude pre-existing conditions. This means that a travel insurance plan will not cover the costs of treating a pre-existing medical condition. Therefore, the insurance company may deny a claim if the ailment already existed when the travel insurance was purchased. However, there are some travel medical insurance plans that offer coverage for pre-existing conditions and the policy clearly defines a look-back period and what is covered for pre-existing conditions, as well as specifying a limit to this coverage.

Some travel health insurance plans like Atlas America, Patriot America Plus offer coverage for the acute onset of a pre-existing conditions, ie, when there is a sudden medical emergency without any prior symptom that needs to be treated immediately. The coverage typically includes emergency medical treatment, hospitalization, and evacuation expenses related to the acute onset of the pre-existing condition. INF insurance however has the INF Elite insurance plans which cover pre-existing conditions going beyond the acute onset coverage. It is important to compare visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions both for the price as well as the specific details for pre-existing conditions coverage as well as review the policy brochures for exclusions and coverage limits before making a decision.

How does travel insurance for pre-existing conditions work?

The travel health insurance plans which cover pre-existing conditions have clear definitions of what is a pre-existing condition, the look back period for pre-existing condition, whether the travel insurance coverage is limited to acute onset of pre-existing conditions, and if it provides full coverage for pre-existing conditions the coverage limit within the policy for pre-existing conditons. Any travel health insurance coverage for pre-existing conditions will depend on all these.

Factors to consider while purchasing visitors health insurance for pre existing conditions?

The following are important factors for buying travel insurance for pre-existing conditions

  1. The definition of pre-existing conditions and the look back period under the policy.
  2. The eligibility age limit for pre-existing conditions coverage.
  3. Whether pre-existing condition coverage is limited to acute onset of pre-existing conditions.
  4. The coverage limit for pre-existing conditions which is different from the policy medical maximum.
  5. The deductible and out of pocket expenses for pre-existing conditions coverage.

Why is travel health insurance for pre-existing conditions coverage important?

There are many international travelers who have medical ailments and it is important for them to be well informed about visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions. Many of the regular travel insurance plans exclude any coverage for pre-existing conditions. The definition of pre-existing conditions varies for different insurance providers as they have a ‘look back’ period and any medical ailments during this look back period would be considered pre-existing. At American Visitor Insurance, we offer plans which do offer coverage for acute onset of a pre-existing condition, as well as full coverage for pre-existing conditions up to a clearly defined limit in the policy document. All of these details can be better understood by using our facility for comparing visitors insurance for pre-existing conditions.

Pre-existing conditions coverage - FAQ's

01. How do I know if my pre-existing condition is covered by travel insurance?

Unfortunately, this simple question has a fairly complicated answer. The answer is: it depends. Firstly, it depends on whether you are a US resident traveling outside the US or a visitor to the US. US residents can purchase trip cancellation insurance that can cover pre-existing conditions and even plans that are travel medical only without cancellation often are more generous in their coverage of pre-existing conditions. These plans may have specific requirements in order to waive the usual exclusion of coverage for pre-existing conditions (like purchase them within a certain number of days of your initial trip deposit or that you have a primary domestic insurance plan in the US), so you should check these details carefully if this is important to you.

Non-US residents or US residents traveling into the US have much more limited options to insure their pre-existing conditions are covered. Some plans offer coverage for "acute onset" of pre-existing conditions. However, this is misleading, since a careful look at their definition excludes chronic or congenital disorders from such coverage. Chronic illnesses are those that worsen over time and congenital disorders are issues one is born with. They exclude emergencies due to chronic illness because they will say that is not "acute" it is simply a worsening of your condition. There are only two policies we know of that offer coverage for pre-existing medical conditions. They are INF Premier and INF Elite plans.

Firstly, they define pre-existing conditions in the following way: A pre-existing condition is a condition for which the insured received treatment or took medication for in the previous 12 months before the start of the policy. If the medication dosage has not changed and is taken as a maintenance medication, this would NOT count as a flare up or treatment of the condition. In that case, very stable conditions that have no flare ups in the past 12 months are not even excluded as pre-existing conditions. Conditions that have had flare ups or doctor recommended treatment or change in medication, are still covered by the plans but with a higher deductible and a lower maximum.

INF Elite (also INF Elite 90) are comprehensive plans offering fairly complete coverage. INF Premier is a fixed plan. Find details on these plans here.

The above plans must be purchased for at least 90 days and can be quite pricey for seniors, but they offer the only real coverage for chronic conditions.

The other option, of course, is to take a plans with little ($1K) or no coverage for pre-existing conditions and take a risk that that condition will not flare up during the trip.

02. What does full coverage for Pre-Existing Conditions mean?

INF plans boast they offer "full" coverage for pre-existing conditions. This can be a little misleading. Firstly, any regular treatment or medication that is required by the condition is never covered. The main advantage to the INF Elite and INF Premier is that they cover sudden illness/injury regardless of whether it is pre-existing or not. The only difference is that a pre-existing condition will be covered with a higher deductible at at a lower maximum than any other "new" illness or injury. However, coverage is not limited to an emergency or life-threatening situation.

03. What does "acute onset of pre-existing conditions" mean?

The "Acute Onset of a Pre-Existing Condition" is a sudden and unexpected outbreak or recurrence of a pre-existing medical condition which occurs without any advance warning either in the form of physician recommendations or symptoms and requires immediate care (within 24 hours of first symptoms). A Pre-Existing Condition that is a chronic or congenital condition or that gradually becomes worse over time will not be considered acute onset.

The acute onset coverage benefit does not include coverage for known, scheduled, required, or expected medical care, drugs or treatment existent or necessary prior to the effective date of coverage. An example of this might be someone who has a food allergy or bee allergy and is unknowingly exposed to their allergen and requires immediate medical attention.

04. What is the difference between Full Pre-Existing & Acute Onset Insurance?

Acute onset of a pre-existing condition can be defined as the sudden & unexpected occurrence of a pre-existing condition which requires in-patient, emergency hospitalization within 24 hours of exhibiting first symptoms. The main difference between acute onset & full pre-existing is that with Full Pre-Existing coverage, is that one is covered for all pre-existing conditions and associated medical costs and this includes follow up visits, hospitalizations and doctor’s visits, etc. The acute onset coverage will only cover the in-patient hospitalization expense.

05. What are the limits of Full Pre-Existing plans under INF travel insurance?

Full Pre-existing means we will cover any issue regarding a pre-existing condition, however, if one is traveling to the United States solely for medical treatment, that will not be covered. INF plans do not cover any medical tourism related claims. Pre-existing conditions under the INF plans are covered with a higher deductible and a lower maximum than other illnesses or injuries. These are chosen or specified when you purchase you plan.

06. Do INF travel insurance plans really cover all pre-existing conditions?

Yes, the INF policies will cover any pre-existing issue that the traveler may have during their stay in the United States. This includes blood pressure, diabetes, kidney related issues and arthritis, all of which are covered by the INF Premier, INF Premier Plus, INF Elite, INF Elite Plus and INF Elite 90, Hop Travel Assist, Hop Mindoro Assist, Hop WorldHopper, Hop Trip Assist Plus Plans.

07. Why are Full Pre-Existing plans more expensive than other visitors insurance plans?

The insurance company takes on an enormous risk by insuring individuals and including coverage for pre-existing conditions without any prior medical examination. Under the INF plans, you are paying more, but you are getting the full value for the money you pay given the very high cost of US healthcare. With the INF Premier, INF Premier Plus, INF Elite, INF Elite Plus and INF Elite 90, Hop Travel Assist, Hop Mindoro Assist, Hop WorldHopper, Hop Trip Assist Plus Plans, even though it is expensive, you can have the comfort of knowing that you are covered for any emergency or contingency. This peace of mind given the expensive US healthcare expense is what makes INF plans worth it despite being expensive.

08. What services are covered under visitors insurance full pre-existing coverage?

The list of covered services under Visitors insurance full pre-existing conditions coverage can be found on the American Visitor Insurance website of the INF Premier, INF Premier Plus, INF Elite, INF Elite Plus and INF Elite 90, Hop Travel Assist, Hop Mindoro Assist, Hop WorldHopper, Hop Trip Assist Plus Plan pages.

For example : A customer has to go to the Emergency Room (ER) for blood pressure and get a bill of $10,000 and the customer has the INF HOP UltraPlus plan. Although the UltraPlus covers $700 for pre-existing, the customer will get the PPO discount on the bill since it is covered. This in itself can translate to very significant savings such as an 80% discount + $700 paid out. This means your total coverage was $8,700 and out of pocket expense is only $1,300.
