Travel
Yes, travel is back, but we’re still dealing with a global pandemic. We urge you to stay vigilant and do your due diligence. Before you travel, check the COVID-19 status of the country you’re visiting and your destination as it can change quickly, and review current advisories posted on these pages.
TRAVEL INSURANCE
COVID-19 related expense coverage
The government has lifted Level 3 Advisories to avoid non-essential travel to many international countries. As a result, we’re experiencing high call volumes. We apologize for any delay you may encounter.
PLEASE BE ADVISED: If you’re fully vaccinated and travelling to countries with a Level 1 or 2 Travel Advisory, our Single & Multi-Trip Emergency Medical Plans cover your expenses related to COVID-19 up to $10 million Canadian. Our plans will also cover COVID-19 related expenses for in-Canada travel.
Exclusions for COVID-19 related expenses remain in place for travel to countries still with a Canadian Government Level 3 Advisory to avoid non-essential travel. And where COVID-19 is a factor, there are also exclusions in place for Trip Cancellation & Interruption Insurance policies.
To help keep you aware of your risks, we’ve posted the government’s latest Global Travel Advisories.
If you plan to travel to a country with a Level 3 Advisory or you have underlying medical issues, speak with our licensed experts about the coverage options for COVID-19 related expenses listed below.
