Overview
Does IRCC accept monthly payments?
IRCC permits a qualifying Super Visa policy to be paid in full or through instalments with a deposit. A quote alone is not accepted — the applicant must have proof of an issued policy that meets every Super Visa insurance requirement.
How instalment plans work
The insurer or payment provider may collect an initial deposit followed by scheduled payments. Before agreeing, confirm the total premium, financing or administration charges, payment dates, accepted payment methods, and what happens after a missed payment.
Refunds and cancellations
Refund rules depend on the policy. Visa refusal, cancellation before departure, early return and claims can each produce a different result. Read the actual cancellation terms and keep the evidence required for any refund request.
The detail
What you need to know
What the policy must still provide
- At least one year of validity from entry.
- At least CAD $100,000 in emergency coverage.
- Health care, hospitalization and repatriation benefits.
- An eligible insurer, with proof available at each entry.
Questions to ask before choosing monthly
- Can missed payments suspend or cancel coverage?
- Is the complete policy issued immediately?
- Are instalment fees refundable after a refusal?
- Can the effective date be changed before travel?
- What happens if a claim occurs before all payments are made?
Common mistakes
- Submitting a quote instead of an issued policy.
- Assuming "monthly" means no deposit.
- Missing a payment mid-stay.
- Overlooking financing charges in the total cost.
- Failing to renew coverage during a long stay.
