Your NWT Visitor Insurance Questions
We want to make getting coverage simple and clear. Here are some helpful answers to common questions about travel insurance for visitors to Northwest Territories.
​
Does my home country's insurance work in the NWT?
It is very unlikely. Most foreign health insurance plans have little to no coverage in Canada, and you will be expected to pay for any medical services upfront. A dedicated Canadian visitor insurance policy is the most reliable way to ensure you are protected.
​
What does 'Medical Evacuation' mean for a trip to the NWT?
This is a critical benefit for a trip up north. Due to the vast distances between communities, a serious medical issue may require transportation by a specialized air ambulance to a larger hospital in Yellowknife or even further south to Edmonton. This benefit is designed to cover those potentially high transportation costs.
​
Is Northwest Territories travel medical insurance just for emergencies?
While its primary purpose is to cover unexpected medical emergencies, the peace of mind it provides lasts for your entire trip. Knowing that you have a plan in place for any eventuality allows you to relax and fully immerse yourself in the incredible experience of the North.

"Was a bit nervous about medical stuff on our trip to see the northern lights. Got a simple visitor policy online. Ended up needing a prescription filled in Yellowknife, and the whole process was so easy. Glad we had it!"
