Spend a little to save a lot in case of an emergency with Manulife travel insurance
When you’re travelling, unexpected expenses can result in a hefty bill on top of what you already paid for your trip. Travel insurance for Canadians can:
- Help pay for emergency health expenses if you were to get sick, fall and be sent to a foreign hospital
- Take your mind off “what ifs” and the financial consequences of flight delays or cancellations, misconnections, baggage issues, and more
- Minimize loss of non-refundable travel expenses when you must cancel for a covered reason, such as visa delays, or if a loved one gets sick and needs your care
Manulife travel plans for travelling Canadians
Single trip plans help protect you for one trip, either just for yourself or for your family. You can get these whenever you travel out-of-province or country.
Emergency medical plans
When you travel out of the country, you are responsible for all health-related expenses that could arise. Medical plans help you cover health care expenses such as physician services, ambulances, semi-private hospital accommodations, diagnostic tests, and more.
Non-medical plans
Life happens, and even the most carefully planned trip can still be negatively affected by circumstances outside of your control. We offer a range of protections for your trip, which can help you travel securely knowing that your prepaid travel costs are protected from cancellations, interruptions, baggage loss, and even changed plans.

Typically, travel insurance for Canadian snowbirds requires longer duration coverage than other types of trips, since snowbirds tends to stay down south in the USA for longer periods to escape the Canadian cold. The best travel insurance plans for snowbirds offer flexibility for easy extension and comprehensive emergency health coverage. Manulife offers Canadian seniors and snowbirds the flexibility to easily extend their coverage if needed, and our medical plans for vaccinated travellers all contain up to $10 million in medical coverage. If snowbirds are travelling to the USA multiple times a year, they can also consider purchasing a multi-trip plan to cover all their trips within one year.
