Safeguarding Your Global Workforce

Travel insurance protects your employees when they travel for work, and it protects your business too. Business travel is often essential. However, a medical emergency abroad can be extremely expensive, because provincial health plans cover very little outside Canada. By adding travel coverage to your benefits package, you look after your team and reduce the risk to your company.

The Government of Canada strongly recommends buying travel insurance before any trip. Read its advice on travel insurance for more detail.

Travel insurance for business and personal trips

Why Travel Insurance Matters for Employers

  • Employee safety: it covers medical emergencies and evacuation.
  • Business continuity: it reduces disruption when an employee falls ill or is injured abroad.
  • Lower financial risk: it helps protect your company from unexpected costs.
  • Peace of mind: your employees can travel with confidence.

Key Features of Travel Insurance

  • Emergency medical coverage: covers medical costs while travelling.
  • Evacuation and repatriation: covers emergency medical transport and the return home.
  • Trip cancellation and interruption: reimburses non-refundable costs when something unexpected happens.
  • Baggage loss and delay: covers lost or delayed luggage.
  • Accidental death and dismemberment: pays a benefit after a serious accident.

Group or individual coverage

Employers can offer travel coverage as part of a group plan. Alternatively, individuals and families can buy their own plan for a single trip or for a full year of travel. We’ll help you compare both options.
