Hi..
For a 3-month visit visa, what is usually the maximum coverage limit everyone is taking, for medical insurance? For someone with pre-existing conditions like diabetes, hypertension and cholesterol.

I know for 12-months insurance; 100,000 is recommended.

100000 is the lowest amount and is very easy to exceed that amount.

[Soomeet007]

How to get PHAC

I think this post has all the details of how to apply for PHAC and visa. If you go through first 10-14 pages all your doubts will be cleared.

 

[gsriram86]

Applied for PHAC on 19th Jan
Got approved for one month on 20th Jan.

What does this approval for one month mean? Do we have one month to travel or the visa is for one month only?

What I know is travel should be done before PHAC validity.
In CIC Itinerary request it says travel should be with in 30 days or validity of PHAC (which ever is earliest)
