INSURANCE CHECKLIST
Questions supplied by CIBC Insurance®
and Michael Maclean
Following are some key questions to ask your
insurance provider BEFORE purchasing travel insurance, so you can avoid unpleasant
surprises when you have a claim.
What is NOT covered in the plan? (These are
called "exclusions".)
Does the plan have a deductible that you
must pay for each claim?
Does the plan deny benefits if your medical
emergency arises because of a health problem you already had when your trip started? (This
is called a "pre-existing condition".)
Does the plan require you to determine -- by
yourself -- whether you meet the insurance company's health standards before you can buy?
Are there specific exclusions that pertain
to sports or other activities?
The preceding questions are intended as a guideline only,
and are not meant to be exhaustive.

Insurance
In a world where anything can happen, insurance helps you travel with
peace of mind.
Suppose you became ill on your trip, and didn't know how to get
medical help, or how to pay for it. Suppose you had no friends or family
with you to help. Nothing can prevent misfortune, but travel insurance
can help you get through it. We can help you find the best medical care
available, and even bring a family member to your bedside or arrange for
you to be taken home, if necessary.
Travel insurance gives you access to emergency help by phone, 24 hours
a day, seven days a week. It's invaluable when you're in a foreign
country and you don't speak the language.
Sometimes, travellers assume that their medical expenses will be paid
by government health insurance. That's not true. If you became sick
or injured in a foreign country, your government health insurance plan
would pay for only a fraction of the benefits you might need. With travel
insurance, you'll have peace of mind about medical expenses, since
your insurance will help cover added expenses.
You are spending a lot of money on your trip, and we also provide insurance
to help protect that investment. For instance, you can purchase travel
insurance to cover the costs if an emergency forces you to cancel your
trip or calls you home. Find out more about which type of insurance would
best suit your needs:
Complete Travel Insurance, through your
Travel Agent
Your travel agent can provide you with a complete range of travel insurance
products, all designed to take the worry out of travel. From emergency
medical insurance, to insurance for trip cancellation or interruption,
to insurance that covers your baggage and personal effects, you can travel
with peace of mind knowing you are covered "just in case." Your travel
agent can answer your questions about the coverage you require and ensure
your needs are met.
Medical
Coverage, through your Royal Bank/Royal Trust branch
Travel HealthProtector® provides comprehensive emergency medical
insurance that takes care of medical bills and other related costs
if you have a medical emergency while travelling outside your province
or outside Canada. At your convenience, you can purchase this insurance

account with any member company of RBC Financial Group. A customer
service representative can answer your questions about coverage
and ensure your needs are met.

Canada - Consular Information Sheet
Canada - Consular Information Sheet
January 22, 2001
COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Canada is a highly developed stable democracy.
Tourist facilities are widely available except in northern and wilderness areas,
where they are less developed and can be vast distances apart.
ENTRY REQUIREMENTS: When entering from the United States, U.S. citizens
must show either a U.S. passport or proof of U.S. citizenship and photo ID.
U.S. citizens entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport.
A visa is not required for U.S. citizens for a stay up to 180 days. Anyone with
a criminal record (including a DWI charge) should contact the
Canadian Embassy or nearest Canadian consulate before travel. For further
information on entry requirements, travelers may contact the Embassy of Canada
at 501 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20001, telephone (202) 682-1740,
Internet address: http://www.cdnemb-washdc.org; or the Canadian consulates in
Atlanta, Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Dallas, Detroit, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis,
New York, San Juan or Seattle.
CRIME: Although criminal activity is more common in urban areas, violent
crimes such as murder, armed robbery, and rape are infrequent throughout the
country. Visitors to Vancouver should be aware that vehicles with U.S. license
plates and rental vehicles have been regularly targeted for opportunistic smash-and-grab
thefts, and are cautioned to avoid leaving any possessions unattended in such
vehicles. The loss or theft abroad of a U.S. passport should be reported immediately
to the local police and the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. U.S. citizens
may refer to the Department of State's pamphlet, A
Safe Trip Abroad , for ways to promote a more trouble-free journey. The
pamphlet is available by mail from the
Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office , Washington,
D.C. 20402, via the Internet at http://www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs, or via the
Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at http://travel.state.gov.
MEDICAL FACILITIES: Good medical care is widely available. The Canadian
health care system is run on a provincial basis (e.g. the Province of Ontario
has its own hospital insurance plan as does each of the other provinces and
territories) and is funded by Canadian taxpayer money. Tourists and temporary
visitors do not qualify for this health care plan and should have their own
insurance to cover any medical expenses. Health care professionals in the Province
of Quebec might only speak French. Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization
and/or medical evacuation to the United States can cost thousands of dollars
or more. Doctors and hospitals often expect immediate cash payment for health
services.
MEDICAL INSURANCE: U.S. medical insurance is not always valid outside
the United States. U.S. Medicare and Medicaid programs do not provide payment
for medical services outside the United States. Doctors and hospitals often
expect immediate cash payment for health services. Uninsured travelers who require
medical care overseas may face extreme difficulties.
Please check with your own insurance company to confirm whether your policy
applies overseas, including provision for medical evacuation, and adequacy of
coverage. Serious medical problems requiring hospitalization and/or medical
evacuation to the United States can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Please
ascertain whether payment will be made to the overseas hospital or doctor or
if you will be reimbursed later for expenses that you incur. Some insurance
policies also include coverage for psychiatric treatment and for disposition
of remains in the event of death. Useful information on medical emergencies
abroad, including overseas insurance programs, is provided in the Department
of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs brochure, Medical
Information for Americans Traveling Abroad , available via the Bureau
of Consular Affairs home page.
OTHER HEALTH INFORMATION: Information on vaccinations and other health
precautions may be obtained from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention 's hotline for international travelers at
1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747); fax 1-888-CDC-FAXX (1-888-232-3299), or via
the CDC's Internet site at http://www.cdc.gov.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a foreign country, U.S.
citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those
in the United States. The information below concerning Canada is provided for
general reference only, and may not be totally accurate in a particular location
or circumstance.
Safety of Public Transportation: Excellent
Urban Road Conditions/Maintenance: Excellent
Rural Road Conditions/Maintenance: Good
Availability of Roadside/Ambulance Assistance: Good
Transport Canada is the Canadian federal government agency responsible for
road safety, although each province or territory has the authority to establish
its own traffic and safety laws. For detailed information on road conditions
throughout Canada, as well as links to provincial government web sites, please
see the Transport Canada web site at http://www.tc.gc.ca
or the Canadian Automobile Association web site
at http://www.caa.ca. There are typically 3,000 vehicle-related fatalities in
Canada each year. All forms of public transportation in Canada are generally
excellent.
Driving in Canada is similar to driving in parts of the United States. Most
distances and speeds, however, are posted in kilometers per hour, and some signs,
particularly in Quebec, may be in French. U.S. driver's licenses are valid in
Canada. Proof of auto insurance is required. U.S. auto insurance is accepted
as long as an individual is a tourist in Canada. Unless otherwise posted, the
maximum speed limit in Canada is 50km/hr in cities and 80km/hr on highways.
On rural highways, the posted speed limit may be 100km/hr (approximately 60
miles/hr). Seat belt use is mandatory for all passengers, and child car seats
must be used for children under 40 pounds. Some provinces require drivers to
keep their headlights on during the day. Motorcycles cannot share a lane, and
safety helmets for drivers and passengers are mandatory. Quebec prohibits turning
right at a red light. As in the United States, all emergency assistance in Canada
can be reached by dialing 911.
Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is a serious offense. Penalties are heavy,
and any prior conviction (no matter how long ago or how minor the infraction)
is grounds for exclusion from Canada. A waiver of exclusion may be obtained
from Canadian consulates in the United States, but it requires several weeks
to process. It is illegal to take automobile radar detectors into Quebec, Ontario,
Manitoba, the Yukon or the Northwest Territories. Police may confiscate radar
detectors, whether in use or not, and may impose substantial fines.
Winter travel can be dangerous due to heavy snowfalls and ice that make road
conditions hazardous. Some roads and bridges are subject to periodic closings
during winter. The Canadian Automobile Association
(http://www.caa.ca) has tips for winter driving in Canada. Drivers should
be aware that the frequency with which motorists run red lights is a serious
concern throughout Canada, and motorists are advised to pause before proceeding
at a green light. Travelers should also be cautious of deer, elk, and moose
while driving at night in rural areas. Holiday periods can be dangerous because
of increased traffic.
Travel along Highway 401 between London and Windsor, Ontario has been the scene
of several traffic accidents due to sudden and unpredictable fog, and heavy
truck traffic. This was the site of a 70-car collision in 1999 that claimed
the lives of several individuals, including three American citizens.
For additional general information about road safety,
including links to foreign government sites , please see the Department of
State, Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at http://travel.state.gov/road_safety.html.
For specific information concerning Canadian driving permits, mandatory insurance
and entry regulations, please contact the
Canadian National Tourist Organization at http://www.travelcanada.ca.
AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) has assessed the Government of Canada's Civil Aviation Authority as Category
1 -- in compliance with international aviation safety standards for oversight
of Canada's air carrier operations. For further information, travelers may contact
the Department of Transportation within the U.S. at telephone 1-800-322-7873,
or visit the FAA's Internet web site
at http://www.faa.gov/avr/iasa/. The U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) separately
assesses some foreign air carriers for suitability as official providers of
air services. For information regarding the DOD policy on specific carriers,
travelers may contact the DOD at tel. 1-618-229-4801.
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject
to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly
from those in the United States and may not afford the protections available
to the individual under U.S. law. Penalties for breaking the law can be more
severe than in the United States for similar offenses. Persons violating Canada's
laws, even unknowingly, may be expelled, arrested or imprisoned. Penalties for
possession, use, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Canada are strict, and convicted
offenders can expect jail sentences and heavy fines.
IMPORTATION OF FIREARMS: Firearms are strictly controlled. As of January
1, 2001, visitors bringing firearms into Canada, or planning to borrow and use
firearms while in Canada, are required to declare the firearms in writing using
a Non-Resident Firearm Declaration form. Multiple firearms can be declared on
the same form. At the border, three copies of the unsigned declaration must
be presented to a Canadian Customs officer. The declaration will serve as a
temporary license and registration certificate for up to 60 days. The Non-Resident
Firearm Declaration costs $50 (Canadian). Visitors planning to borrow a firearm
in Canada must obtain in advance a Temporary Firearms Borrowing License, which
costs $30 (Canadian). The form must be signed before a Canadian Customs officer
and the fee paid at the border. In order to save time at the border, Canadian
authorities recommend that visitors complete the declaration form, but not sign
it, and make two copies of the completed form before arriving at the port-of-entry.
Requests made at the border for photocopies of the form may be denied. Full
details on this new policy are available at the
Canadian Firearms Centre web site , http://www.cfc-ccaf.gc.ca, under the
heading "Visitors to Canada." The Non-Resident Firearm Declaration
and the Temporary Firearms Borrowing License applications may also be obtained
from this web site.
Canada has three classes of firearms: non-restricted, restricted, and prohibited.
Non-restricted firearms include most ordinary hunting rifles and shotguns. These
may be brought temporarily into Canada for sporting or hunting use during hunting
season, for use in competitions, for in-transit movement through Canada, or
for personal protection against wildlife in remote areas of Canada. Anyone wishing
to bring hunting rifles into Canada must be at least 18 years old, and the firearm
must be properly stored for transport. Restricted firearms are primarily handguns;
however, pepper spray and mace are also included in this category. A restricted
firearm may be brought into Canada, but an Authorization to Transport permit
must be obtained in advance from a Provincial or Territorial Chief Firearms
Officer. Prohibited firearms include fully automatic, converted automatics,
and assault-type weapons. Prohibited firearms are not allowed into Canada.
In advance of any travel, please contact a Canadian embassy or consulate, or
the Canadian Firearms Centre (http://www.cfc.ccaf.gc.ca)
for detailed information and instructions on temporarily importing firearms.
In all cases, travelers must declare to Canadian Customs authorities any firearms
and weapons in their possession when entering Canada. If a traveler is denied
permission to bring in the firearm, there are often facilities near border crossings
where firearms may be stored, pending the traveler's return to the United States.
Canadian law requires that officials confiscate firearms and weapons from those
crossing the border who deny having them in their possession. Confiscated firearms
and weapons are never returned.
CHILDREN'S ISSUES: Many governments, including Canada's, have initiated
procedures at entry and exit points to prevent international child abduction,
including requiring documentary evidence of relationship and permission of the
parent(s) or legal guardian not present for the child's travel. Having such
documentation on hand, even if not required, may facilitate entry and departure.
For further information on international
adoption of children and international parental child abduction , please
refer to our Internet site at http://travel.state.gov/children's_issues.html
or telephone
(202) 736-7000.
REGISTRATION/EMBASSY AND CONSULATE LOCATIONS: U.S. citizens living in
or visiting Canada may register at the Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy
or at a U.S. Consulate General in Canada, and may obtain updated information
