Visitors or Immigrants to Canada
Here are the links to the very competitive travel insurance offering from GMS (Group Medical Services).
The Canadian government recently changed the rules for allowing a 10 year immigration Visa. Loved ones can stay up to two years at a time – - the only catch! – - they need to take $100,000 of coverage on an annual policy! Get your rates and policies quickly with the links below. Now, with the revised Immigrants & Visitors to Canada plan, applicants age 55 to 79 will now have the option to obtain coverage for 365 days.
We are usually available for chat between 9 AM to 5PM, Monday through Friday, EST (extended hours during peak travel periods may be in effect). If not available, click the chat link anyhow, and you will have the option to leave a message: Please include your name, phone number, and best time to call!
