What type of insurance do I need for International Experience Canada?

For International Experience Canada, you must have health insurance for the entire time you are in Canada. The health insurance must cover

• medical care;
• hospitalization; and
• repatriation.

We recommend you buy this insurance only after you receive your port of entry (POE) letter. We can’t recommend specific insurance companies or plans, but you can search online for something that meets your needs.

You may be refused entry if you don’t have insurance. If your insurance policy is valid for less time than your expected stay in Canada, you may be issued a work permit that expires at the same time as your insurance.
