When you travel outside the boundaries of your province or country, you won’t have the same level of coverage that you would have at home. This is especially true if you travel internationally. Once you are outside of Canada, you will not be covered for any medical care unless you take out a medical insurance policy.  If you plan to travel outside of Canada, you should seriously consider taking out a travel medical policy to ensure that you are adequately covered. That way, you won’t have to pay for any medical expenses out-of-pocket.
