Travel medical insurance Canada

When buying travel insurance to Canada from the UK, you should always make sure you have sufficient medical cover within your policy.

According to the Association of British Insurers (ABI) the average medical claim exceeds £1,300, with hospital room charges for non-Canadian residents costing over $2,000 per day.

Before you buy travel insurance, remember to declare all of your past and present medical conditions so we can tailor your policy specifically towards you. Failure to declare a pre-existing medical condition may invalidate your policy should you need to make a claim.
