17 Mar Are You Covered? An Important Note From I/CAN re Travel Insurance: At this challenging time, we encourage those in Canada to review their travel insurance policies to be fully informed as to what is covered–not all travel policies will cover Covid-19. Do you have provincial insurance? If not, you are reliant upon your travel policy. Is yours still valid? We understand that the ever-changing landscape is overwhelming. Knowing the facts about your situation will help you to best respond.

16 Mar For the consideration of our clients and staff and volunteers, I/CAN will be operating digitally on a temporary basis. Our team will be available to assist you via phone and email Monday-Friday. When calling, please leave a detailed message with your phone number. Our upcoming PR seminars will be postponed in Vancouver and Toronto. Stay-tuned for free webinars covering the same content. Reach out to us–we are still here for you.
