HELP!!! Cannot buy 2 year medical insurance for working visa.

[simone_hartman]

Please help,

I am an Australian citizen who is about to enter Canada (BC) on a 24 month working holiday visa.

Under the requirements I must have 24 months worth of medical insurance, to cover my time.

Can any one please advise how they have got around this as you can only purchase for a maximum of 12 months at a time!

If anyone can please share their experience of this situation?

Thanking you kindly.

From my understanding, MSP can be purchased/insured for a max. of 12 month at a time ...
Though you can definitely call MSP contact to inquire your concerns ...
