Travel Insurance

You must have and maintain travel / medical insurance when traveling to Canada - make sure it's a comprehensive travel work insurance that also covers you for loss of luggage, health care, hospitalisation and repatriation. Any health issues or mishaps such as a skiing / snowboarding accident requiring hospitalisation, can be very expensive in Canada.
It is also a working holiday visa requirement that you have and maintain Travel / Medical insurance for the length of time you are in Canada.
