IEC with two different insurance policies.

[maralejo]

Hi everybody

I will be flag-poling next week to activate a one year working holiday visa IEC and I need to get a 1 year health insurance, however I still have a health insurance that won't expire until august (next month)

May I just get a new insurance policy for 11 more months to complete the whole year? would it be ok to present two different policies at the border?

PS: the new policy will have a different insured sum, so the one I have now cannot be extended.

Not worth the risk as no way to know if acceptable to CBSA after all what is to say someone shows both policies then cancels the 11 month one before it becomes active. That could be the way they look at it.
