Can you go to Canada without insurance?
No. You can go to Canada without travel insurance. Except in a few circumstances when travel visa applicants must produce confirmation of medical insurance coverage for their entire stay in Canada, tourists are not obliged to carry travel insurance upon arrival in Canada. Even if foreigners have access to the Canadian healthcare system, medical treatment can be rather costly. As a result, it is critical to carry appropriate travel health insurance to cover any medical care expenditures when visiting Canada, especially for short periods.
When does travel medical insurance coverage begin and end?
Your coverage begins when you arrive in Canada, or on the effective date specified on your confirmation – whichever comes first. Some policies will protect you throughout your trip to Canada if you get insurance before leaving your native country.
If you purchase your insurance after landing in Canada, there will be a waiting time, such as 48 hours, before you are insured.
Your coverage ceases when you leave Canada or your insurance expires, whichever happens first.
