Every year, the beautiful country of Canada, abundant in deep blue lakes, luscious forests, and hospitable people, attracts millions of tourists. In 2023, 18.3 million visitors from across the world chose Canada as their travel destination, symbolizing the nation’s booming and constantly growing tourism sector. Immersed in the vision of waking up to mountainous landscapes and exploring the hidden gems of this rich country, it is easy to neglect the logistics of traveling, such as adequate documentation and insurance.
Travelance, a travel insurance distributor, addresses the needs of tourists seamlessly and expertly, ensuring unexpected medical costs and injuries don’t hinder enjoyment more than they have to. Operating through licensed B2B advisers, Travelance leverages its nationwide network and comprehensive expertise to connect travelers with the services that best suit their requirements and traveling styles.
At the heart of Travelance’s services is Visitors to Canada Emergency Medical Insurance, also available as super visa insurance when purchased according to Canadian Government requirements. With two plan options – Essential and Premier – the company offers travelers of all budgets, health levels, and the trip’s circumstances a chance to protect their well-being at the lowest cost possible.
The company’s focus on Visitors to Canada Emergency Medical Insurance is rooted in their dedication to denouncing the misconceptions that permeate the Canadian tourism landscape, starting with a common belief that the universal healthcare system covers all those traveling to Canada. Kristina van der Wal, Director of Sales and Marketing, says, “Many people believe that if something happens, they will be able to go to the doctor’s or have surgery at no cost. Canadian healthcare covers all Canadians and permanent residents, but, unfortunately, visitors must purchase travel insurance.”
She highlights the cost of healthcare as another myth, with many travelers underestimating the expense of adequate care. To minimize the risk of visitors being unable to finance their hospital stays, Travelance offers four limits of coverage, ensuring even the most unexpected medical needs can be handled hassle-free. Fueling the problem is the lack of awareness regarding visa requirements. Van der Wal says, “Not everyone realizes that some visas require medical coverage as part of the entry application, especially for the parent and grandparent super visa and the IEC working holiday visa.”
Disregarding these factors may lead to additional costs, travel delays, and medical matters that can’t be addressed, highlighting the importance of conducting extensive research and seeking professional help. Travelance, with a team of experts and a dedication to professional service nothing short of excellent, emerges as a trusted voice in the landscape. While Visitors to Canada Emergency Medical Insurance is the firm’s nucleus, the company also provides Travel Right Insurance Plans for Canadians traveling abroad, Student Accident Plans, and for inbound students, International Student Travel Insurance.
Regardless of the service, Travelance is committed to addressing the needs of clients in a timely and cost-efficient manner, providing accurate and up-to-date information, and offering expedited claim processing. Van der Wal says, “Through all the steps of the process, we don’t leave our customers’ side, guiding them through this often confusing and nuanced territory. At the center of it all is integrity, our clients’ satisfaction, and a positive mindset. With that, we want to elevate the traveling landscape, address the needs of visitors, and empower tourists to experience Canada with the sense of security that Travelance provides.”
