Planning to visit Canada, or you've already arrived?

Whether you're planning a visit to Canada or your parents, family, or friends have already arrived, ensuring their well-being is a top priority. At Life Advice Insurance Inc, we understand the significance of health security, especially for those responsible for the well-being of their visiting loved ones. That's why we're here to guide you through the essential protection offered by Visitors to Canada (VTC) insurance.


Why Visitors to Canada Insurance is a Must


Medical costs in Canada can be financially crippling for those without insurance. Visitors to Canada are not covered by the universal healthcare system, and immigrants may face waiting periods before becoming eligible for government health plans. Being uninsured can result in substantial medical bills, potentially leading to the cancellation of other travel plans.

Understanding Visitors to Canada Insurance


Visitors to Canada insurance provides emergency medical coverage for injuries or illnesses. While healthcare costs in Canada are not as high as in the U.S., it's significantly higher for non-Canadians. Being uninsured can lead to unaffordable medical bills, jeopardizing your financial stability.


Our insurance plans protect you from major financial setbacks, covering not only medical expenses but also additional benefits such as sending a family member to visit you in the hospital, emergency evacuation to your home country, or out-of-pocket expenses for attending to a hospitalized travel companion.


Contract Language: What's Covered?


Emergency Hospital: Coverage for hospital accommodation and services necessary for emergency care during confinement.

Emergency Medical: Services, supplies, or treatment for covered sickness or injury, including prescription drugs, ambulance usage, emergency dental, and more.

Return of Deceased (Repatriation): Reimbursement for costs incurred to prepare and return remains to the country of origin.

Transportation of Family or Friend: Coverage for the cost of transporting a family member or friend to your bedside in case of hospitalization.
