Anyone ever use CanadaSure insurance ??

Hi Guys

Anyone ever use CanadaSure for health insurance for first 3 months.
Thinking of using them and would apprecite some feedback.

REPOST

If you come to Alberta you just use Alberta Blue Cross from day one ....

This one is completely off topic, but, Yabbz, have you ever considered to use the same kind of text as we all do. Using bold characters is for the purpose of emphasizing something. Emphasizing EVERYTHING is overkill, it's annoying me and perhaps some others as well. The same for the use of colours. Use colours if you are decorating your house for your kid's birthday party, or something similar, but I prefer your posts in ordinary black and white. And maybe this will get you more response to your questions......

If you are coming to Ontario, here is one you might want to checkout, but be warned that I have no affiliation to this comapny, just the good things have heard about them !

SAD comment get a life....this is just my opinion start worrying about more important things if you will....

I used Canadasure and had no problems. I didn't have to make a claim but I have spoken to people who did make claims and also had no problem. They are just an insurance broker that developed a specific plan tailored to this specific circumstance. The main advantage of Canadasure over bluecross etc. is that they also include one way travel insurance for your outbound trip which is sometimes tricky to get as most travel insurance is only valid if you are returning from your trip.

Thanks for that

Great to get advice from someone that has used them. We will more than likely take out policies with them. It's great that your trip, luggage etc... is also covered.

Thanks again

They are far more expensive than the norm if you feel you can afford it. Try Trent-Health Sante for the insurance and I used PHtravel for one-way travel insurance. Try doing a search on this forum for the web-sites I recommended.

Thanks will look at Trent also

What is the typical package?

With these firms if you declare a pre-existing condition do they cover it?

No they do not cover a pre-existing condition. For a single person like me it was at least half the price of CanadaSure and then there was the one-way travel insurance too. In fact I think the coverage was better than CanadaSure.

I think the web-site is www.trenthealth.com

If it's not asking too much how much were the quotes?

We are two 30 somethings coming from UK. In good health. I must email them and get a quote.

Thanks for taking time to help us.

I think it was $253 from Trent Health (hey, just noticed in the drugstore that Sante means Health in French!) once translated on the old credit card was just over 100GBP. The one-way travel insurance I can't remember but maybe was about 30GBP.

Off topic, but a bit of fun:

From Ferguson & Ferguson: How to be a Canadian

Known far and wide as master linguists, Canadians excel in particular at translating cereal boxes. Often, when the U.N. needs a cereal box translated, they call in the Canadians, who parachute out of stealth bombers clutching boxes of Capitaine Crounche and K de Special. In a situation unique among the world's nations, English Canadians know what the French is for "riboflavin", "niacin" and "part of a complete breakfast". And vice versa. English Canadians don't know what riboflavin is (no one does), but they do sort of know what it looks like in french. And vice versa.
