Why Travel Insurance?
While travelling in Canada and other countries, your provincial medical coverage or even your credit card coverage may not be sufficient or valid. Here is an example of the extraordinary costs that can occur from a medical emergency while travelling abroad: "During a short vacation on a Caribbean island, a Canadian developed a severe form of pneumonia and had to be admitted to hospital. His health deteriorated, and he was transferred to intensive care and placed on a breathing machine for more than a month. Without insurance, he had to make arrangements with the hospital to pay a bill that amounted to more than $20,000." Source: Government of Canada.
Here's a great video that explains the importance of this type of insurance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQk1UzRdkgI
