Home  Passport and Consular / Emergency Services for Canadians MORE INFORMATION FOR CANADIANS Medical Insurance
It is unlikely that your medical insurance in Canada will cover all or most of the costs you might incur for medical services in the United States. Moreover, you might have to pay for services in advance. Before leaving, all Canadians are advised to purchase medical insurance for travel outside of Canada. If you are returning to Canada following an extended period of absence abroad, you may not be covered by provincial health insurance immediately on your return to Canada. Private medical insurance should be obtained to cover the interim period. Any queries regarding medical coverage should be addressed to the relevant provincial office: | Alberta | Health Care Insurance Plan, 10025 Jasper Avenue, Box 1360, Edmonton, AB, T5J 2N3.
