They don't seem to realize that if a Canadian spends more then 180 or 200 days depending on province, they no longer have health care in Canada and their travel insurance is void. Having valid provincial health care is a requirement for most Snowbird insurance policies.
Your Statement is not quite true if you live in Alberta. If you are going to travel for a extended amount of time outside of Alberta (more than 6 months) you may extend it up to 2 years (24 months) for travel, personal visits or educational leave but you need to notify them while still in Alberta. We have done this a couple of times.
