Who this coverage is for

Visitor insurance helps reduce the financial risk of unexpected medical emergencies while someone is in Canada.

Parents and relatives visiting Canada

Coverage for family members visiting for weeks or months, including options for older travellers.

Tourists and temporary residents

Emergency medical coverage for people visiting Canada who are not covered by provincial health insurance.

Newcomers waiting for coverage

Protection during the waiting period before provincial health coverage starts, where applicable.

Why it matters: OHIP won't cover your visitor

Visitors aren't covered by provincial health insurance, and Ontario hospitals bill non-residents directly. See the full OHIP & visitors guide.

Walk-in clinic $100–$300 ER visit $1,000+ (before tests) Hospital / day Thousands / day Surgery / ICU $10,000s+

Visitor insurance questions

Is visitor insurance required?

It depends on the visitor’s status and purpose, but emergency medical coverage is strongly recommended because visitors are not covered by provincial health insurance — see our guide Does OHIP cover visitors to Canada?

Can visitors with pre-existing conditions apply?

Often yes. The right option depends on the condition, stability period, age and insurer rules. Ask Cover & Protect if you are not sure.

How much coverage should we choose?

Families often compare different coverage amounts and deductibles. The right balance depends on risk comfort, visitor age, travel dates and budget.

Can I apply online?

Yes. Secure TruStone Health online links are available above. If you are unsure which one fits, request a quote or call before applying.
