Hello, I need to buy a health insurance for my time in Canada. I found requirements: it needts to cover medical care, hospitalization and repatriation, but I can't find anything about how much costs it needs to cover. Is it up to me what level of coverage will I pick or is there any minimum level?

I don't think the insurance agent will know what are visa requirements for Canada. Unless I misunderstood something, I think I can get any insurance I want so.. I can get it from insurance institution in my country. I don't think they will know requirements for Canadian immigration. Or do I have to get it from some Canadian institution?

The minimum coverage you pick should be based on your age, the duration of coverage you need, your medical history. Canadian health care is not the most affordable so I would advise comparing different coverage amount - sometimes you can get a lot more coverage for only slightly higher premiums.

Thanks,
I was moslty wondering if government of Canada requires some specific amount. Because I'm coming on Working Holiday Visa and one of the requirements is to have the insurance for an entire time of my stay when I arrive in Canada. But I couldn't find any information if they require me to have some minimum coverage or just any amout I decide is suitable for me.
And to answer above the question I'm from Poland.
