    Does travel insurance act as proof of health insurance for an Australian travelling to Canada on the International Experience Canada?


    Yes, as an Australian travelling to Canada on the International Experience Canada (IEC/2IEC), a valid travel insurance policy will suffice as health insurance cover for the purposes of procuring a valid Canadian working visa for the IEC/2IEC. 

    Your travel insurance policy will be valid for the purposes of procuring an International Exchange Canada visa if your travel insurance policy provides cover for the following events:
    • Overseas medical benefits (including cover for general consultations and hospital cover). 
    • Medical evacuation and repatriation (returning to your country in the event of severe illness, injury or death).

    How do I get 2 year travel insurance for the international experience Canada (IEC)?

    If you are travelling to Canada for either a one- or two-year period for their international experience Canada program, you may need travel insurance in order to secure your visa for a one- or two-year period.

    Many Australian travel insurance providers can cover for a one-year (365-day) period. Only a certain number of travel insurance providers and agencies offer travel insurance for a two-year period .

    If you are travelling on a One-Year International Experience Canada program, you may get a one-year travel insurance policy which provides cover for the events outlined above (overseas medical expenses and medical evacuation & repatriation).

That is, you can take out a (365-day) travel insurance product to cover your first year of travel, and you can take out a second (365-day) travel insurance product to cover your second year of travel.

    You may have to purchase both policies before you arrive in Canada, so you may purchase them before you leave Australia for your trip.

    Travel Insurance Saver offer travel insurance products online which allow for up to two-years of consecutive travel through the purchasing of two back-to-back single one-year travel insurance policies.

    easy to obtain a quotation for the insurance. Also i called the number on the website regarding further questions I had, spoke with Adam, very friendly and professional team member answered my questions with no issues and emailed me all information i was asking for. Thank you

    I am nearly 89. Many companies won’t give me a quote as they reckon that I am too old. Those that do quote want a large excess for cover on a cruise and have a complicated medical assessment. Travel Insurance Saver sold me an Annual International Policy at a reasonable price. Their website is clearly designed and easy to use.

    Catherine HawkinsAug 23, 2023

    After a lot of research I found Travel Insurance Saver was the best coverage for a very reasonable price. No big extras for cruising either which is great.

    Chris RichardsApr 11, 2023

    I had a good look around and found this Travel Insurance Saver policy was just right for my travel needs with a very competitive premium. Other insurers loaded a hefty " cruise component", which is counter-intuitive considering trains, planes and cars/ coaches are much more susceptible to problems than the now stringently applied systems on cruise ships. Highly recommend.!
