I am leaving my province of residence to travel to another province before actually leaving Canada. On which date should a trip start for Single Trip coverage?
You can opt to purchase coverage for the entire time you are away from your province of residence or just for the portion of your trip that is away from Canada. In other words, the effective date of coverage can be either the last day you are in your province of residence or the last day you are in Canada. As government health insurance plans vary among the provinces and most do not provide emergency return home benefits, you should consider coverage for the full length of your trip.
