Moving to Canada involves more than just visas and flights — it also means preparing for the unexpected. Whether it’s health emergencies, accidents, or securing your assets, insurance plays a vital role in helping newcomers settle with peace of mind.
At Crewlink Canada, we go beyond travel — we help immigrants and travelers get the right insurance coverage from day one. In this blog, we explain what insurance options you need as a newcomer and how we help you access trusted, affordable coverage.
1. Why Insurance Matters in Canada
Canada has excellent public healthcare, but it doesn’t cover everything — especially for temporary residents, students, or recent immigrants. Insurance helps you:
- Pay for medical treatments not covered by provincial health plans
- Protect your home, vehicle, or rental property
- Cover travel or flight cancellations
- Provide financial support in case of emergencies
2. Real Story: How We Helped a Student After an Emergency Surgery
“I arrived in Canada as an international student and didn’t think insurance was a big deal. But two months in, I had appendicitis and needed emergency surgery. Crewlink Canada had already set up a student insurance plan for me, and it saved me over $10,000 in medical costs.”
“Without it, I don’t know how I could’ve afforded treatment or even stayed to complete my studies.”
– Priya Sharma, Student from Delhi at Seneca College
