Canada is a favourite among Indians as it offers job opportunities and world-class education.

Canada Visa for Indian Passport Holders
Unlike our insurance, a tourist visa for Canada has generally been said to be difficult. However, this also depends on how you fill in your application.
Make sure you state everything asked for clearly, especially your reason for travel while supporting it with viable documents. Additionally, include your travel insurance in your documents as it’s said to even speed up the process sometimes!
Here are the basic steps to obtaining a visa for Indians travelling to Canada:
- Download the Canada Tourist Visa form from the Canadian Government website, along with the document checklist, so you know exactly what you need.
- Make sure you have all the documents you need, especially your flight tickets, hotel accommodation, itinerary, international travel insurance, and a well-drafted cover letter that states the purpose of your visit.
- Compile all your documents in one file and submit it to your visa agent or the embassy directly.
- The visitor’s visa fee is 100 Canadian Dollars (5,208 INR), and after all processes, it will take at least 2 weeks to be accepted/rejected.

Compare Canada Travel Insurance Quotes
Whilst comparing travel quotes from different travel insurances for Canada, make sure you are aware of the following:
- The medical benefits available and the limit of the Sum Insured for each. For example, on a minimum, you could be spending INR 1-1.5 lakhs for basic hospitalization and a minimum 8-10 lakhs for critical illnesses. Check if the sum insured even covers minimum medical costs or not.
- Terms of claims. The terms can often be tricky and very rare, meaning that despite the benefit, you’ll never really be able to claim it.
- The claims process is done by checking the company’s previous claim records. After all, that’s the whole point of insurance, right?
What is Canada’s Official Currency?
Canada's currency is the Canadian dollar (CAD), denoted by the symbol C$, to distinguish it from the US dollar. It is available in 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100-dollar paper notes. Canadian coins circulate as 5 cents (nickel), 10 cents (dime), 25 cents (quarter), 1 CAD (loonie) and 2 CAD (toonie).

What is the Canada Famous For?
Canada is famous for the heavenly Niagara Falls, world-famous maple syrup, rich diversity in people and the great outdoors, charming northern lights, and astounding wildlife.
Being the second-largest country in the world (also the politest!), Canada must be on almost everyone’s travel bucket list. Whether you’re going in for the summer or the extreme winters, you can be sure you’ll never be bored! Especially if you’re touring on the road.
When is the Best Time to Visit Canada?
Honestly, this depends largely on your travel purpose. While most people prefer the summer, many travellers also pick the winters (yes, even when it’s extremely cold!) owing to the specific snow experiences they’re looking for.
However, considering everything, the fall months between September and November are the best time to visit Canada. The weather is neither cold nor hot. It’s not packed with tourists, and if you’ve never experienced autumn, Canadian cities will make you fall in love with their changing fall foliage and breathtaking backdrops.
It is the most favourable time to experience Canada at its best. You can almost feel like you’re in one of your picturesque desktop wallpapers.
Safety and Precautions for Indians
Canada is known to be safer than its neighbouring country. However, this also primarily depends on the cities you plan to visit.
Here’s a quick list of safety precautions that will ensure you’re safe:
- Be careful around Vancouver’s Downtown East Side during the night, as it’s known for its cluster of drug dealers and prostitutes.
- Be aware of pickpockets in all popular tourist destinations, train stations and crowded streets. Also, avoid carrying valuables you don’t need everywhere you go.
- Avoid buying tickets from just about any website or person. It’s a common travel scam in Canada. Instead, get tickets (for tours, shows, etc.) from your hotel, licensed websites, retailers, and official counters.
If you’re Road Tripping
- Make sure you have insurance to safeguard against any third-party or personal emergencies. While your international travel insurance for Canada would insure your liabilities (including damage/loss of the car)
- Be cautious of Moose while driving. Given their population across Canada, they can be a significant concern.
- Make sure you have a valid international driving license in place. Car rental will only let you drive.
