Are you gearing up for a Canadian road trip this coming summer? Whether you’re planning to explore the Atlantic Coast or take an RV trip with your dog, there’s just something about hitting the open road and soaking up the sights that makes summer feel complete.

Depending on where you’re travelling from, international travel to Canada can be challenging due to travel requirements from your home country along with the Government of Canada’s travel restrictions. But not to worry—we’re here to help.

Unlike in Canada where we have provincial health care, medical billing works differently abroad, and can add up easily. Travel medical insurance can help ensure travellers are protected from out-of-pocket expenses in case of a medical emergency. In the unfortunate case that you or your loved one suffers a medical emergency abroad, you’ll need to file an insurance claim.

In the last decade, “babymoons” have increasingly become the norm, as expectant couples enjoy one last getaway together, as they prepare for their family life to change forever. Expectant parents have the added pressures of weighing their desire to travel against safety concerns.

Even if you’re an avid traveller, it’s easy to think that “unexpected” or “unfortunate” things won’t happen to you on vacation. But believe it or not, even the slightest incident or symptom can lead to an emergency medical claim – even a flu can send you to the hospital! And when you’re exploring the world, the last thing you want to deal with are extra out-of-pocket expenses.
