If you are in an emergency while on your working holiday in Canada, your travel insurer's emergency assistance team can assist in directing you to local authorities, coordinate repatriation back to Australia if this is deemed necessary, and act as a guarantor for overseas emergency medical expenses if required.

Fast Cover policies are available to Australian Citizens or Permanent Residents. See 'Can I buy a policy?' in our FAQ section for more details and check the IEC insurance requirements.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, check out our Medical Conditions page for more information about medical screening for your existing medical conditions including information about the General Exclusions that may apply*.
