What are the formalities required to take a health insurance policy for six months for my daughter, who is 22 years old and is going to Canada on a student visa?

The first step that you must take in securing an overseas mediclaim policy or a travel insurance policy for your daughter is to fill out the proposal form of the insurance company that you choose to insure with. You will also be required to submit a copy of your daughter’s passport and student visa along with the proposal form. Depending on the information that is contained in the proposal form, the insurance company may require her to undergo a medical examination. Normally, at the age of your daughter, a medical examination would not be required. Once the proposal is accepted, the policy would be issued on the payment of premium.
