1. Should I buy visitor insurance or Super Visa insurance?
If you are coming to Canada for a short visit, visitor medical insurance is usually the starting point. If the policy is for a Super Visa application, it must meet Super Visa requirements, so the coverage amount, policy term, and payment method need to be confirmed separately.
2. Can I still buy insurance if I have a pre-existing medical condition?
Possibly. It depends on age, whether the condition is stable, how the stability period is defined, and the insurer’s specific policy wording. Different insurers treat pre-existing conditions differently, so the details need to be reviewed carefully.
3. Is the cheapest travel insurance always the best choice?
Not necessarily. Price is only one factor. You should also compare the coverage amount, deductible, waiting period, stability period, refund rules, and whether the policy fits your visa requirements and actual length of stay.
4. Do international students and accompanying parents need the same type of insurance?
Usually not. Students may need to coordinate school coverage, iMED, or MSP, while accompanying parents are generally assessed under visitor medical insurance. These situations should be reviewed separately.
5. Do I need separate insurance during an MSP waiting period?
In many cases, temporary medical insurance is used to cover the gap. The right approach depends on your province, immigration status, arrival date, and any existing coverage.
