Depending on your nationality, you might require a visa to enter Canada. There are different types of visas for various purposes such as tourism, business, or study.

The application process involves submitting a completed form, a valid passport with sufficient validity beyond your intended stay, proof of financial means, and a detailed travel itinerary.

Upon entering Canada, you must be able to prove your identity and the purpose of your visit. This involves presenting a valid passport and, if applicable, a Canadian visa or eTA. Travelers with minors should carry additional documents, such as consent letters for children traveling without both parents or legal custody documents.

Being prepared with the right documentation can significantly streamline your entry process at Canadian ports.

It's wise to choose a policy that offers comprehensive coverage, including upfront payment of medical expenses, to avoid any financial burden during your trip.
