When you arrive in Canada, there is a 3 month waiting period before you can get government health insurance. During that time, it is recommended that you have private emergency medical insurance.
As a newly landed immigrant or temporary resident, the last thing you want is to be faced with unexpected medical costs related to sickness or injury. Emergency medical insurance can protect you and your family from these expenses.
When choosing an emergency medical policy, here are some features to consider:
- Benefits for physician visits and hospital stays
- Dental coverage
- Prescription drugs
- Ambulance services
- Emergency air transportation home
Ideal for:
- Visitors to Canada
- Super Visa applicants
- Landed immigrants and returning Canadians waiting for Government Health Insurance Plan coverage looking for emergency-only coverage
