Travel, Super Visa & International Student Insurance
Protect your loved ones, meet government requirements, and travel with total peace of mind.
Whether you are a local resident heading overseas, an international student beginning a new academic journey, or a family sponsoring parents to visit Canada, unexpected medical emergencies can result in devastating financial burdens.
Canadian healthcare is excellent, but it is incredibly expensive for non-residents. At Let's Talk Insurance, we specialize in helping newcomers, visitors, and travelers secure the exact medical coverage they need without the confusion. We make the insurance process simple, transparent, and completely stress-free.
Why is Emergency Medical Insurance Crucial?
Medical emergencies do not wait for you to be settled or for your provincial health coverage to kick in. A simple hospital visit in Canada for an uninsured visitor can easily cost thousands of dollars per day.
Securing the right policy ensures that:
- Your parents or grandparents meet the mandatory IRCC Super Visa requirements.
- Students are protected during waiting periods for provincial health plans.
- Travelers are covered for trip cancellations, lost baggage, and overseas medical care.
- Your family's savings are shielded from unexpected hospital bills.

Super Visa Insurance
Mandatory protection to bring your parents or grandparents to Canada.
How it works: The Canadian government requires applicants to hold private medical insurance from a Canadian provider. It must cover at least $100,000 for healthcare, hospitalization, and repatriation, valid for a minimum of one year.
Best for: Families uniting with elderly loved ones who want compliance and peace of mind.
International Student Insurance
Comprehensive health coverage for your academic journey.
How it works: Fills the gap before provincial health care (like OHIP) begins, or acts as primary coverage during your studies. Covers prescription drugs, emergency visits, and unexpected illness.
Best for: Students coming from abroad to study in Ontario who need immediate health security upon arrival.
Travel Insurance
Don't let a vacation turn into a financial crisis.
How it works: Protects Canadians traveling out-of-province or out-of-country. Covers everything from sudden medical emergencies in a foreign hospital to trip interruptions and lost luggage.
Best for: Snowbirds, vacationers, and business travelers leaving their home province.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the exact Super Visa insurance requirements?
The Canadian government dictates that the insurance must be purchased from a Canadian insurance company, must be valid for at least one year from the date of entry, and must provide a minimum of $100,000 in emergency medical coverage.
Can I buy insurance after my parents arrive in Canada?
While it is highly recommended to purchase coverage before arrival, you can buy Visitors to Canada insurance after they land. However, policies purchased post-arrival typically have a waiting period (often 48 hours to 7 days) before coverage for illnesses takes effect.
Do international students need private insurance if they pay tuition?
Yes. While some institutions include a health plan in their tuition fees, it often doesn't cover everything, or there may be a waiting period before you are eligible for provincial healthcare. Private insurance guarantees you are protected from day one.
