Eligibility and Requirements for International Experience Canada (IEC) Visa Insurance:
According to the Immigration Canada website concerning IEC requirements, the required insurance must cover health and hospitalization expenses, as well as repatriation costs in the event of a death or emergency return to one’s home country.
The insurance must be held in place for the entire duration that someone remains in Canada under their IEC visa, regardless of whether they become covered by a provincial government health insurance plan (GHIP). The website states that:
The border services officer may ask you for proof of health insurance.
You may be refused entry if you do not have insurance.
Your insurance must cover:
- medical care
- hospitalization and
- repatriation (returning you to your country in the event of severe illness, injury or death)
When you arrive at the port of entry, you must have health insurance valid for your entire stay in Canada. Having a valid provincial health card is not enough. Repatriation is not covered by provincial health insurance.
If your insurance policy is valid for less than your expected stay, you will be issued a work permit that expires at the same time as your insurance.
If this happens, you will not be able to apply to change the conditions of your work permit at a later date.
