Hi all, I've really been quite stumped by this insurance issue. Any help of any kind would be amazing!
In short, my fiance is a dual citizen (Canada and US) and I'm American, both of us live in the US. After we get married this Summer I am going to apply for out land family class sponsorship but she plans on moving up to Canada immediately after that. I will be going along with her as a visitor and plan to stay until my permanent residency is approved, apply for extensions on my visit as needed.
This leaves us with the issue of what to do about insurance in the US as we'd like travel back to visit family occasionally for Christmas and what not. We currently have US based insurance but it is very expensive and we wouldn't be able to make much use of it in Canada. It seems prohibitively expensive to keep that insurance just for a short visit back to the family.
We looked into travel insurance but the only companies I can find won't provide travel insurance to visit your country of permanent residency (which the US would technically be for me until I receive my permanent residency in Canada). The best I could find was 'world nomads' which will offer me travel insurance as long as I am not within 100 miles of my old address in the US, aka near my family, which is the only reason I would travel back.
Does anyone have any insights or suggestions? Thanks in advance.
