Insurance Question
 

Hello

I'm trying to arrange insurance for the first 3 months after my arrival.

Anyone know of any companies who provide that service. Its been like flogging a dead horse so far.

Thank you

I need to find this too for BC. Have you tried the private insurance companies in the yellow pages? I'm thinking it's going to cost a fortune but it's just one of those things you can't not have!

Have done a search for you both as we are at the same stage,

we have started to price them up for a family of 4 moving to Ontario, and the best we got so far is $740 :mad:

Sutherlands

Christ!

Have found this link: -

http://www.outbackerinsurance.com/

There was a fault with the website when I tried to book but for 1 adult I was looking at just under £100 for 3 month one way trip.

Please feel free to share any other information, I don't know how good this company is.

You have to be really carefull that "travel insurance" will in fact cover you in the event of a claim.

Once you are here, covering the three months, travel insurance will see you as a resident, in their view not travelling, and its grounds for them not to pay out, hence the specialist 3 month gap coverage offered by the canadian health insurance companies on the settlement.org list.

Im not sure why the sutherlands links were trunkated, but these work OK at the moment.

We are looking at canadasure.com
They seem to be reasonably priced.

Isn't that settlement.org one just for Ontario?

I will have a look at the canadasure one too.

Re: Insurance Question
 

They are all national companies, and most of the information is applicable across all the provinces.

Re: Insurance Question
 

That is who we have used and they seem to be ok, they also cover you if you travel to the US and Mexico, this is bonus since we are off to Vegas on Thursday :D

canadasure.com will certainly cover you in BC. We used them for insurance while we were waiting for the 3 month waiting period to end. Can't comment on how good they are as we didn't need to make a claim.

Also if you are planning to do any supporting activities during the 3 month period make sure you are covered.

I chose canadasure.com @ £129.84 and they cover the whole country.

Thank you all!
