From unique destinations like Spain to old favorites like the US, travellers heading to warmer climates during the Canadian winter should know that provincial healthcare doesn’t cover much when travelling outside of your home province. Rather than relying on credit card coverage, it’s important for travellers to purchase a comprehensive Emergency Medical Travel Insurance plan when abroad, especially in the US, where medical costs add up easily.

If you’ve got travel plans this fall or winter, now’s the perfect time to plan for your travel insurance purchase—particularly if you’re a mature traveller with a complex medical history.

Spending a large premium at once can be a burden for some, especially as trip-related costs add up during the booking process.

Wondering what to look for in an emergency medical travel insurance plan? If you’re a savvy traveller, you’re no stranger to the benefits of having travel insurance for your next trip. But sometimes when you’re in the market, it’s hard to know just what you should be looking for.

Summer is coming, and with higher temperatures in dry climates, so is wildfire season. It’s an unfortunate reality that we’re facing, whether the fires start due to the dry climate or from man-made mishaps. In 2023, Canada’s air quality was rated worse than the US for a historical first because of wildfires.
