Hi there I hope I can get a few comments about the application process for Canada's new multiple-entry visas. Not that it is a new type of visa, but they just announced that starting today, they only issue multi-entry visas now (temporary resident visas or TRVs), with an application fee of $100.

Over the last couple years, while helping people with the insurance requirements for Canada's super visa, I have dealt with a number of clients that have been asked by immigration to obtain health insurance in order to have the multi-entry TRV issued. Perhaps this was because of the results of the required medical exam. I have also been told by more than one immigration consultant that having insurance in place has always made it easier for clients to obtain their multiple-entry visa.
Can anyone comment about their own personal experience in applying for the multiple-entry visa and whether they were asked to get insurance, or were told that it would be better for their application if they were able to show that they had insurance?
Thanks.
Now that all TRV's will be issued as multiple-entry visas, I believe more people will be asked to show proof of insurance depending on the results of any required medical exams. This may be the trend in the future...
Of course, medical costs are quite high in Canada for visitors, so it makes sense that people will travel with some kind of insurance. And unlike the super visa program, there may not be the requirement to buy $100,000 for an entire year, and for the insurance to be from a Canadian company...
