Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for Canada, make sure you are aware of the following:
Do inform us immediately if there is any unfortunate incident before or during your travel that may cause you to make a claim.
The heavenly Niagara Falls. The world-famous maple syrup. The rich diversity-both in people and the great outdoors. The charming northern lights and the astounding wildlife.
Being the second-largest country in the world (also the politest!), Canada must be on almost everyone’s travel bucket list. Whether you’re going in for the summer or the extreme winters, you can be sure you’ll never be bored! Especially if you’re touring on the road.
Honestly, this depends largely on what your travel purpose is. While most people prefer the summer time, many travelers also pick the winters (yes, even when it’s extremely cold!) owing to the specific snow experiences they’re looking for.
However, keeping all things in consideration- the fall months between September to November are the best time to visit Canada. The weather is neither cold nor hot. It’s not packed with tourists and if you’ve never experienced autumn, the Canadian cities will make you fall in love with its changing fall foliage and breathtaking backdrops.
It is probably the most favourable time to experience Canada at its best. You can almost feel like you’re in one of your picturesque desktop wallpapers too.
Unlike our insurance, a tourist visa for Canada has generally been said to be difficult. However, this also depends on how you fill in your application.
Make sure you state everything asked for clearly, especially your reason for travel- whilst supporting it with viable documents. Additionally, include your travel insurance in your documents as it’s said to even speed up the process in some cases!
Here are the basic steps to obtaining a visa for Indians traveling to Canada:
Canada is known to be pretty safe as compared to its neighboring country. However, this also primarily depends on the cities you’re planning to visit.
For example, you may have to be a lot more careful in downtown Vancouver and Quebec City as compared to Montreal and Ontario. All said and done, here’s a quick list of safety precautions that will insure you’re safe:
Back in 2014, there were cases of the fake police scam. Although not as prevalent now, you might still want to be careful since they are known to target Asian tourists. Be cautious when the “police” ask for bag check.
The fake ones will tend to snatch your valuables away. In the worst-case scenario, don’t worry too much- any financial losses caused because of something like this will be covered for in your travel insurance.
Depending on where you’re traveling to, it’s always handy to have the contact number of the Indian embassy. Here are three main embassies in Canada:

Consulate General of India, Toronto: +1 416-960-0751
