Re: No Health Insurance and I leave in 2 weeks ?HELP
Thanks Aviator, Yeah the thing is I am really hoping to land a second year IEC visa, all of my work the past few days has been going in to getting everything printed and signed before I leave so that has been taking up alot of my time, trying to secure a second visa at the moment.So it has sort of took up alot of my time, I cant even get a flight out of Glasgow to Canada,I have to go to London so it has been eating away at my budget, I was just sure I heard alot of people go out there without a return flight and get insurance with certain companies.
If you have valid coverage and and IEC permit, a one way flight should not be a problem. Show the check in clerk your WP docs and you should be fine.

I've had no issues with either company, although I as yet haven't had to make any claims.
Both companies provide cover for people that take gap years and backpacker holidays... People who are off to see the world and don't have any concrete plans! They don't require to know when you're returning, but obviously the policy will have an end date, and you won't be covered from then on.
I found it way easier to use online because you basically just fill in all your information, then you're given the price, you say okay, fill in your credit details and then they email the policy/cert to you, usually within 48 hours. Print it out and have it on your person when you arrive in Canada.

Just be sure to know the policy T & C and comply with them, otherwise you could find yourself uninsured when you need it most. Nobidy has any trouble with an insurer until they try and make a claim and have not complied with or understood the terms of coverage.
If you have valid coverage and and IEC permit, a one way flight should not be a problem. Show the check in clerk your WP docs and you should be fine.

I am applying for a second year IEC visa so I may be out there for 2 years,
I may not find a job or apartment in 2 months So I could be back in 2 months or 2 weeks.
A flight would cost about £400 ,plus I cant even book a flight for January 2016 yet.
I dont know what area of Canada I may end up in, I think its quite normal for someone to not have a return flight on a WHV.
