Three easy steps. Your quote comes directly from the live comparison system rather than a fixed sample price chart.
Provide the requested date of birth and trip information. Enter each applicant's details as directed by the live quote system.
Review provider premiums, coverage limits, deductibles, payment arrangements and medical-condition provisions before selecting a policy.
Follow the selected insurer's application and payment process. Save the issued confirmation and policy documents for the Super Visa application.
For the application, you must provide evidence of an eligible, issued insurance policy—not simply a price quote.
Minimum emergency medical coverage for the applicant.
At least one year beginning from the date of entry to Canada.
Health care, hospitalization and repatriation must be covered.
Canadian insurer or qualifying foreign insurer meeting IRCC conditions.
Paid in full or in qualifying instalments with a deposit. Quotes alone do not qualify.
Keep valid evidence available for border review and renew if coverage expires before departure.
In addition to qualifying medical insurance, applicants normally need a host who meets the financial-support requirements, a signed invitation, proof of the family relationship, and an immigration medical examination.
Eligible hosts include adult children or grandchildren in Canada who are Canadian citizens, permanent residents or registered Indians, subject to IRCC's other requirements.

There is no reliable single price for every applicant. Your live quote is calculated using individual details and the selected policy options.
For a parent aged 60, 65, 70, 75 or 80, the annual premium may differ significantly depending on the provider, date of birth, deductible, medical history, coverage amount and payment choice. A low premium can be attractive, but eligibility and benefits should be checked alongside price.
Many policies are age-rated. Stable pre-existing condition provisions and medical declarations may affect eligibility and pricing.
$100,000 is the IRCC minimum, not necessarily the most suitable choice. Compare higher limits where available.
A higher deductible can sometimes lower the premium. Monthly options may have deposits, setup charges or other terms.
| Compare these features | What to look for | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Emergency medical limit | $100,000 minimum; higher choices may be available | Sets the broad emergency coverage maximum, subject to policy terms. |
| Deductible | $0 and other options where available | May change both what you pay upfront and what you contribute to an eligible claim. |
| Pre-existing conditions | Stability periods, definitions, exclusions, medical questionnaire | Conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure may be treated differently by plan. |
| Payment arrangement | Annual versus eligible instalment plans | Compare full cost, initial deposit, service charges and cancellation rules. |
| Refund and date changes | Visa refusal, delayed travel, early departure | Terms and eligible refunds vary; avoid assuming every plan refunds the full premium. |
Choose the arrangement that suits your family's budget and satisfies the current insurance-document requirements.
Some eligible insurers offer instalment-based plans with an initial deposit. This may be convenient when the parent's visa decision or travel date is uncertain.
IRCC: A policy can be paid in instalments with a deposit if its other requirements are satisfied. A quotation alone is not sufficient.
Check Available Monthly Options →An annual premium payment may be convenient for clients who prefer to settle the selected policy cost in one transaction, subject to insurer terms.
Paying annually does not automatically mean broader benefits. Compare the complete policy wording, coverage limit and deductible.
Compare Annual Premiums →Advisor tip: The most useful comparison is the total cost and policy terms, not just the amount shown as a monthly payment. Review the deposit, fees and refund provisions together.
Many parents take regular medications or manage ongoing health conditions. A carefully selected policy can make a meaningful difference.
Potentially, yes. Eligible plans may cover certain stable pre-existing medical conditions, but availability and the definition of "stable" depend on the insurer, applicant's age, medical history and answers to the application questions.
A stability period may consider recent changes in diagnosis, medications, symptoms, testing, treatments or hospital visits. Never assume that simply taking medicine makes a condition covered or excluded. Review the actual policy wording before purchasing.
Not sure which option to choose? Ask for a policy comparison before you purchase. Avoid sharing detailed medical records over a general website contact form.
Understand benefits, exclusions, claims and payment choices in more detail, then return to the live calculator for your individual rate.

Super Visa insurance is qualifying private medical insurance that a parent or grandparent must show for a Canadian Super Visa application. IRCC requires at least $100,000 in emergency coverage, a minimum one-year validity period from entry and specified health care, hospital and repatriation protection. The issued policy must satisfy the applicable insurer and payment rules.
The IRCC minimum is CAD $100,000 in emergency coverage per applicant. More coverage may be worth comparing depending on the person's age, needs and budget, but higher limits are not required by this minimum rule.
The premium depends on exact date of birth, eligible insurance plans, medical history, deductible, coverage limit, effective date and payment arrangement. Use the live quote calculator above rather than relying on an outdated flat-rate estimate.
Some insurers offer monthly instalment plans. IRCC accepts a qualifying insurance policy paid in instalments with a deposit, provided all other policy requirements are met. Check the initial amount, additional fees, conditions and policy documents for the specific plan.
No. IRCC says a quote is not accepted as proof of insurance. You need an issued policy that meets the coverage, validity, eligible-insurer and payment requirements. Keep the issued policy confirmation available with the application and on entry.
Yes. Applicants are required to provide qualifying insurance documents with their Super Visa application. If travel dates are uncertain, choose a policy after reviewing its date-change, cancellation and visa-refusal refund provisions.
A refund may be available, subject to the insurer's specific visa-refusal terms, documentation requirements, administration fees, effective date and whether any claims were made. There is no universal promise of a full refund for every product.
Some policies may cover eligible stable pre-existing medical conditions. Conditions, prescribed medication changes, medical declarations, age limits and stability periods matter. Compare the selected policy's exact wording before relying on coverage.
$100,000 satisfies the current minimum emergency coverage requirement when the other IRCC conditions are met. It may not cover every possible medical expense, so families can also compare higher limits such as $150,000 or $200,000 when offered.
Some available plans may offer a $0 deductible, while others offer different deductible amounts. A deductible affects the share of an eligible claim you may need to pay and can change the insurance premium.
For the application, IRCC requires proof of a qualifying policy valid for at least one year from entry. IRCC also says insurance must remain valid for each entry, and the policy should be renewed if it will expire before the visitor leaves Canada. Do not assume the first year's policy covers the full five-year stay.
Potentially. IRCC accepts qualifying foreign insurance companies that meet specific OSFI authorization and Canada-business requirements, as well as Canadian insurers. The policy must include required details. Verify eligibility rather than assuming any overseas travel policy qualifies.
Both may provide emergency medical benefits, but a Super Visa application has specific IRCC documentation requirements, including the minimum coverage and one-year insurance period. A policy suitable for a short visitor trip is not automatically suitable for the Super Visa application.
Yes. Enter the required applicant information in the live calculator to see available insurer rates and options. Compare coverage, medical history conditions, deductibles and payment arrangements, then proceed through the selected insurer's online application process.
Many policies provide a process for changes, but the rules vary by insurer and by whether the policy has started. Contact the insurer or advisor as early as possible; changes, fees and refunds remain subject to the actual policy terms.
An eligible host must generally be the applicant's adult child or grandchild who lives in Canada and is a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or registered Indian, meets IRCC's financial-support requirements, and supplies a signed letter of invitation. The applicant has separate eligibility requirements, including insurance and a medical exam.

My approach is to help clients understand how plans differ—not just show a premium. You can review quotes and purchase online, or reach out when you want help comparing deductibles, payment options or medical-history provisions.
