Canada is a favourite among Indians as it offers job opportunities and world-class education. However, due to the contrasting climate and vast geographical diversity, you are constantly at risk of getting ill or injured, especially during skiing or hiking activities. You can stay protected against any mishap if you have travel insurance for Canada from India.
Overseas trip insurance for Canada will cover and benefit you in situations such as flight delays, passport loss, baggage loss, medical emergencies, adventure sports, political unrest, and other such mishaps.
Moreover, the average cost of healthcare in Canada can range between $3000 to $7000, which is more than 150 times the cost of essential travel insurance for visitors like you!

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 while supporting it with viable documents. Additionally, include your travel insurance in your documents as it’s said to even speed up the process sometimes!

Adventure Sports Covered - Our coverage includes activities such as scuba diving, bungee jumping & sky diving (provided the duration is one day)

Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for Canada, make sure you are aware of the following:
Canada's currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD), denoted by the symbol C$, to distinguish it from the US dollar. It is available in 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100-dollar paper notes. Canadian coins circulate as 5 cents (nickel), 10 cents (dime), 25 cents (quarter), 1 CAD (loonie) and 2 CAD (toonie).
As of 24th June 2024, the currency exchange rates of CAD are as follows:
Country | Currency | CAD (Canadian Dollar) |
India | 100 INR | 1.64 CAD |
United States of America | 100 USD | 136.63 CAD |

Canada is famous for the heavenly Niagara Falls, world-famous maple syrup, rich diversity in people and the great outdoors, charming northern lights, and 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 your travel purpose. While most people prefer the summer, many travellers also pick the winters (yes, even when it’s extremely cold!) owing to the specific snow experiences they’re looking for.
However, considering everything, the fall months between September and 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, Canadian cities will make you fall in love with their changing fall foliage and breathtaking backdrops.
It is the most favourable time to experience Canada at its best. You can almost feel like you’re in one of your picturesque desktop wallpapers.
Canada is known to be safer than its neighbouring country. However, this also primarily depends on the cities you plan to visit.
Here’s a quick list of safety precautions that will ensure you’re safe:
