Many Canadians skip this vital step: emergency medical travel insurance. Whether forgotten or underestimated, this type of insurance should be a non-negotiable part of your travel plan.

Hospital stays for intensive care could be capped at $400 per day, and less intensive care might only cover up to $200.
