Super Visa Insurance

[immigrant777]

Hi Guys,

I am planning to apply for super visa for my parents. Two questions:

1) What would be the cheapest insurance company to buy the insurance from?

2) What should be the start date of the policy? Considering COVID delays in processing applications, I have no idea when their first date would be.

I appreciate your hep.

1) You need consider other things such as deductibles. Generally higher deductibles would make the premium lower.

2) No change. Effective upon arrival in Canada.

Thanks very much for your response. So, do you mean that the insurance company will issue a policy with variable starting date (arrival date)? I have no idea when exactly my parents first day will be.

Unless you have millions of dollars you should be considering taking out better travel insurance versus the cheapest one. 100k coverage will not cover many hospitalizations. The cost of insurance will depend on the age and health of your parents,

Your parents intended arrival date would be the starting date. If your parents cannot arrive that date, you will need to call them to get a new starting date.

Thanks much, appreciate your help. Do I need $100,000 insurance for each of them, or $100,000 for both? On the insurance websites, it looks like they give me a quotes for $100,000 for 2 travelers.

$100,000 coverage per applicant is only minimum, so depends if you want to pay more for rainy days.

Should be per person.
