Health Care for Working Holiday Visa

[Magmaros]

Hi There, I'm going to be coming into Canada in a few months on a working holiday visa that is valid for 2 years stay, but I require private health care with it. Every private health care fund that I've been able to look up only seems to do 1 year health care for travelers. Can anyone recommend a health insurance fund that can do 2 years coverage for people on working visa's?

Otherwise, does anyone know if you can set yourself with 2 health care policies, one overlapping the other by a day, so that the first expires the day after the 2nd starts, to give yourself a full 2 years of health insurance for your visa?

Hi Magmaros!
You are absolutely right, none of the insurance companies offer coverage for longer than 1 year. Our company works with the majority of the insurance companies in Canada and they all cover only up to one year.
You could get 2 policies, one starting right away and the second one in a year, like you have mentioned. I think that would be the best option.

Most of our clients, who needed coverage for their 2 year working visas, ended up getting a one year policy and then extended it before it expired. Maybe you can check if that would work for you?
In any case if you have any questions or need more information, you can call our office at 1-877-211-4301 or email us at arbetov.office@gmail.com.
