Short Term Visitors
Visitors’ insurance is often not necessary to enter a foreign country, but it is strongly recommended. If you get sick or injured during your visit to Canada, the Canadian Government will not be responsible for covering any emergency medical bills, making you liable. Sign up for Visitors Insurance to limit you out-of-pocket expenses in the event you need medical assistance.
Foreign Workers
The government establishes the criteria for foreign workers to be able to work in Canada.
- Information in writing must show a work contract of a minimum of 6 months.
- Must have a valid work permit;
- A formal agreement with the employer which is in the appropriate province.
Please note, there is still a provincial waiting period before the provincial health benefits commence.
