Hello friends, my younger brother (age 28) is travelling to Canada on visitor visa in April. Would be great if the below questions are answered:

  1. Does he have to have either travel or health insurance to be able to enter Canada?
  2. If so, which is advisable, Travel or Health?
  3. Which insurance products/companies are good or him for a visit of 5 months?

Hi ldrbjp,
great to hear about your brother. i am licensed in canada in insurance & investment products & love to spread financial awareness.
regarding your queries :
1. i dont think its mandatory as per law in visitor visa, but always better to cover the travel for unexpected hospitalizations, medical emergency.
2. most companies have visitors to canada insurance , which covers emergency medical visit to hospital.
3. there are alot of options available & price varies based on person health, age , coverage items. its always better to talk. some are big brands , but all canada wide companies follow govt rules etc.
if you need we can have quick chat and you can decide move forward based on information. let me know.
