Insurance doesn't have to be complicated.
While provincial health insurance may cover some medical expenses when travelling to other provinces, there are often limitations and exclusions, such as coverage for ambulance services, repatriation, or prescription medication costs. To ensure comprehensive coverage for your domestic trip, it’s highly recommended to purchase additional travel insurance.
A pre-existing medical condition refers to any illness or condition that existed before your departure. To be covered, your condition must remain stable for a specific period outlined in your policy, which varies based on your age. You may also have the option to shorten this period by selecting the Option: Reduced Stability Period. For more details, please refer to our blog or contact one of our agents.
Travel insurance must be purchased before you leave your province of residence and should cover the entire duration of your trip.
