Super visa insurance in London, Ontario

London families can buy IRCC-compliant super visa insurance online now, from about $1,577 a year for a 55-year-old parent and $4,000 at 75 with stable conditions covered (lowest of eight insurers compared in October 2026). Super Visa Direct Insurance Services is licensed in Ontario and serves London residents today.

Who in London is buying super visa insurance?

London had 422,324 residents in the 2021 Census, including 6.5 percent South Asian, 5.3 percent Arab, 4.2 percent Black, 3.0 percent Latin American, 2.9 percent Chinese and 1.4 percent Filipino, per Wikipedia citing the Statistics Canada Census Profile. The Arab share is among the highest of any Ontario city outside Windsor, reflecting Syrian, Iraqi and Lebanese settlement since 2015.

That makes London’s super visa applications unusually varied. Indian families around Western University and the hospitals, Syrian and Iraqi parents who may have to travel for biometrics and the panel physician exam, Colombian and Chinese parents, and a steady Filipino demand. Nationally India supplied 56 percent of applicants from 2011 to 2023, China 11 percent and the Philippines 4 percent.

How does buying work from London?

The purchase is online and takes about ten minutes: enter the parent’s date of birth, planned entry date and health answers, compare live prices, pay annually or by deposit and instalments, and download a certificate naming the underwriter. IRCC accepts the certificate, not a quote.

The IRCC rules require at least $100,000 per applicant covering health care, hospitalisation and repatriation, valid one year from entry, from a Canadian insurer or a foreign insurer on OSFI’s register. No Indian, Syrian, Colombian or Chinese domestic insurer qualifies. For parents whose arrival date will move, read how to change the start date and the full super visa insurance guide.

Which languages does SuperVisaDirect support?

English now, with Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu and Tagalog pages planned and Arabic and Spanish under review. A family member can translate during a phone walkthrough of the health questions, and every listed insurer runs a multilingual 24-hour assistance line for the parent once in Canada.

What does a London hospital charge an uninsured parent?

London Health Sciences Centre (University and Victoria hospitals) and St. Joseph’s Health Care London set their own non-resident rates and do not publish a simple per-day figure.

Physician fees are extra. A week in intensive care at the lower schedule is $40,250 before the specialists bill, which is why the health questions must be answered exactly; see pre-existing conditions.
