The three common refund situations

Before the start date

Cancel before coverage begins and you can usually get a full refund, as long as no claim has been made.

Leaving early

If the visitor goes home early with no claim made, a partial refund for the unused days is common, with proof of departure.

Visa refused

Many insurers refund the premium if the visa is refused, with the refusal letter and no claim made.

What to check before you buy

The cancellation terms — full vs partial, and any administration fee.
The visa-refusal refund — confirm it exists and what proof is needed.
The “no claim made” condition — refunds generally require that no claim was filed.
How to request it — who to contact and what documents to send.

One less thing to worry about. I’ll point out the refund terms up front when we compare plans — and if you ever need to cancel, I’ll help you through it. No charge to get a quote.

Refund rules are set by each insurer and subject to the policy wording. The above describes common practice, not a guarantee — always confirm the specific terms before you buy.

Refunds & cancellation FAQ

Can I get a full refund on visitor insurance?

Usually yes, if you cancel before the policy start date and have not made a claim. Once coverage has started, a partial refund for the unused period is more typical. Exact rules are set by the insurer.

What if my visa is refused?

Many insurers refund the premium if a visa or Super Visa application is refused, provided you supply the refusal letter and have not made a claim. Confirm this benefit before you buy if a refusal is a real risk.

Can I get money back if the visitor leaves Canada early?

Often yes — a partial refund for the unused days is common when the insured leaves early and no claim has been made. You typically need to request it with proof of the departure date.

How do I request a refund?

Contact the insurer (or me, and I will help) with the policy details and any required proof — such as a visa refusal letter or departure confirmation. Refunds are processed under the policy's cancellation terms.
