Travel Insurance
Travel Insurance is intended to protect you against unforeseen illnesses and accidents while travelling in your own country or internationally.
If you become ill or are injured while travelling away from home, you are responsible to pay for the emergency medical expenses not covered by your government health care plan. “If you are a resident of Ontario and you are insured under OHIP, you are entitled to very limited funding for a certain range of medical services when you are travelling outside of Canada. For this reason, you are strongly advised to purchase additional health insurance every time you leave Canada and ensure that the supplementary insurance you have purchased provides adequate coverage” (Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care).
