Ok, I noticed a posted reply regarding insurance. Does a US citizen need a Canadian Insurance rider when in Canada?
This question regarding the Non Resident Canadian Insurance Cards was posted in past topics a few times :
Depending what insurance carrier you have, it seems that most insurance carriers have now phased out issuing these cards for US travellers visiting Canada....
While quite a few members pointed this out roughly 4 years ago, I asked my insurance carrier if they still issued the cards as they stated they do, so I still had to obtain one which their policy is to only issue one in person at the agents office and not send one thru the mail....
In 2015 my local agent dumped the insurance company and is no longer an insurance agent and the insurance company has decided not to retain any local office in Fairbanks....
I called corporate and asked since their policy on Non Resident Canadian Insurance Cards were issued by the agents local office only with no local agent in my area, would I have to inconveniently drive 330 miles one way to the next nearest office (Wasilla) having to still obtain a Non Resident Canadian Insurance Card - as they stated NO, as they now no longer issue those cards anymore.
To fully answer this question, I would ask your insurance carrier....chances are they phased out the cards.
