What should a good Canada travel insurance policy cover?
Before you leave for Canada, it’s important to understand which covers you really need. The Canadian healthcare system is excellent but entirely paid for: some guarantees are essential, while others can make the difference in experiencing your trip with peace of mind.
The main covers to compare:
Medical expenses while traveling
Reimbursement of medical visits, hospital stays, surgery and emergency care abroad. This is the most important cover: always check the coverage limit before choosing. In Canada the healthcare system is excellent but entirely paid for by foreigners, with costs comparable to those in the United States: a coverage limit above €1,000,000 is recommended.
Travel Assistance
Services from an operations center available 24 hours a day: telephone medical consultations, arranging and monitoring hospital admission, dispatching a doctor, medical repatriation and logistical support in case of emergency far from home.
Baggage
Compensation in case of loss, theft or damage to your baggage during the trip. Some policies also cover delayed delivery, reimbursing the purchase of essential items while you wait for your baggage.
Extension of stay
Coverage of extra food and accommodation expenses when an unexpected event — illness, injury or mandatory quarantine — forces you to stay in Canada longer than planned. A guarantee that is often underestimated but can have a big impact on your real costs.

Frequently asked questions
Is travel insurance in Canada mandatory?
No, travel insurance is not mandatory for tourists: the eTA, the electronic authorization required to enter Canada, does not require it.

For this reason, a medical expenses coverage limit above €1,000,000 is recommended.

It protects you from unexpected expenses during your trip to Canada, where medical care for foreigners can be very expensive. It guarantees reimbursement of medical expenses, assistance from an operations center available 24 hours a day and protection of your baggage in case of theft, loss or damage, so you can face any setback with peace of mind.
