The International Experience Canada Policy has been designed as a great option for those that have 2 year working holiday visas for Canada via its namesake the International Experience Canada scheme. Set up for New Zealanders between the ages of 18 & 35 who wish to experience 2 years living and working in Canada (under the 23 month IEC Visa Programme or other Visa options) with comprehensive cover whilst in Canada and on their trips abroad.
The policy is underwritten by Lloyd's and we believe it is the first one of it's kind. The policy is issued for the full two years as per the visa requirements and covers you comprehensively for emergency medical, luggage and personal effects, cancellations fees and many other benefits.
There are two options available, the standard policy or including Snow sports cover.
