The Canadian government recommends visitors insurance policy for persons who are visiting the nation temporarily. The exorbitant cost of healthcare in Canadian hospitals may quickly turn a foreign trip into a nightmarish one, though, if you are a tourist to the country and unprepared for an unplanned medical emergency.
