Supervisa - Can I use different health insurance providers on visa application and when my parents actually arrive ?

Hello everyone,

My parents got their supervisa approved in January 2024. I used a medical insurance provider while applying for their visa, but found out that it was not a good coverage. I have found a different provider with a better coverage. Would it be fine if I just cancel the current one and use the new one ? Would this be an issue while clearing immigration ?

We are travelling in a week to Canada and I am accompanying them.

The current insurance company has come back saying this is the policy submitted on the application and this could be an issue when they land.

I will have an active coverage for my parents on the date of their arrival. But just that the provider would be different - meaning the provider on their application would be different from what I actually will be showing the immigration officers. Since I would be travelling with them, I can explain this scenario to officers if asked.

Kindly help me out with this.
Thanks.

Hi,

No issue with that. A friend of mine did it for his parents and they had no issue when they traveled. As far as, you have coverage for your parents' stay, there is no problem. The insurance provider must be approved by IRCC otherwise, even it is different than the one you used during your application, it is fine.
