It is a programme condition that all participants on Work Canada have adequate
insurance for the duration of their stay in Canada. BUNAC has worked with Endsleigh
Insurance Services Ltd to design a policy to cover the needs of the BUNAC Work Canada
traveller. However, you have the option to research and source your own policy.
Flexible policy
At BUNAC we are well aware that as your time in Canada unfolds and evolves, you
may want to change your plans. With this in mind, we have created a flexible policy
that will ensure that you are always covered. Some of these flexible benefits include:
- The ability to purchase a policy from one day through to 2 years
- By purchasing the policy at the time of booking, you can ensure that your deposit
is safeguarded against cancellation and curtailment
- You can return home without voiding your policy, for holidays and Christmas etc
- Your policy will cover you anywhere in the world *
- Your insurance can be extended whilst abroad (up to a maximum of 24 months total
trip duration)
- Up to 100 sports and activities are included at no extra cost
- Special electrical item cover for an additional premium
- In the event of a claim, we can guarantee that AXA Assistance will be easy to call
as they are located all over the world, operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and
are English speaking.
This policy has been designed for and is only available through BUNAC; you cannot
buy the same policy anywhere else (not even Endsleigh!)

Important information
This policy can only be purchased by UK residents while in the UK. If you have already
started your trip, you will not qualify for the BUNAC/Endsleigh policy and will
need to get an alternative insurance (this is a very common exclusion, please research
your alternative carefully).
Full terms and conditions of the policy are provided on the website. We recommend
that you read the full policy wording and familiarise yourself with the policy,
the inclusions and exclusion, before buying any insurance.
