health insurance for trip to Canada

Check out Seven Corners. They offer supplemental travel insurance. have gotten their plans before like when we spent over a month in Newfoundland. Not a lot of money. Haven't needed to try them out, so can't speak from that angle. ST

Try to find coverage that includes ambulance fees. In the north, an ambulance is often an aircraft. If you're near a community with an airport, it could be a plane but if you're along the highway it might be a helicopter.

If you need to be evacuated to another hospital with a higher level of care (from Whitehorse) it is also usually by aircraft.

Packerbacker...once one arrives at the point of turning 65, BMO, for one..kisses the out-of-country travel medical coverage bon voyage. Good thing I hooked up with a younger chick.

Check if you have a credit card that offers limited time insurance. When we are in the US, my gold Visa card covers us for 15 days; it covers almost 4 weeks if I were younger. :E

I'm sure some US premium credit cards offer similar coverage in Canada.
