Traveler's insurance as resident?

Can you get traveler's insurance if you are coming on a work visa or living on a TRC? Or do you need a different kind of insurance plan in that case? I won't have any through my employer because I'd be working part-time.


If I come on an e-visa, traveler's insurance is fine at least until I get a TRC, right?


P.S. I know this has been talked to death on this forum and I haven't finished reading through the backlog yet. But if anyone has any recommendations for health insurance, traveler's or otherwise, for a young healthy Canadian who's primarily worried about motorbike accidents, please drop them below.

You mentioned bike accidents, many insurers wont cover you unless you have a local license. You may be best off getting hospital cover, but more expensive than travel insurance.

@colinoscapee I should have specified--I'm worried about accidents while on Grab taxi motorbikes. I'm not planning to get behind the wheel myself for a while. Does anyone cover me as a passenger?

Best to contact insurers in Canada to get an idea whats available. You may be able to use travellers insurance, but check the exclusions.
