How do I get a 2-year travel insurance policy for the IEC program?
Travel insurance from Fast Cover is initially issued as a 12-month policy. You may be able to extend it for up to a further 12 months by paying an additional premium within 30 days prior to your departure date.
You can extend your policy in two ways:
- Log in to your policy through the Fast Cover website on Fast Cover - Your Policy Login Page and request the extension. Your cover dates will update once you have paid the additional premium, and you will be able to download a new Certificate of Insurance with the revised dates.
- Contact Fast Cover by phone on 1300 409 322 or reply to your policy confirmation email to arrange the extension.
The combined length of the original policy and the extension cannot exceed 24 months in total.
Please note that Fast Cover does not determine if your travel insurance policy meets IEC health insurance requirements. As IEC entry requirements may change over time, it is your responsibility to verify whether the medical coverage on your chosen travel insurance policy meets the IEC health insurance requirement. It is recommended to consult the IRCC or Canadian embassy for specific details.
Every claim is reviewed individually on a case-by-case basis and will only be paid if it meets the terms, conditions, limits, and exclusions in your policy. Always check the PDS carefully so you know exactly what’s included before you travel.
