Indian travellers visited Canada in record numbers in 2017 with 2,54,000 arrivals which further increased to 2,87,000 in 2018 and is now the 7th largest foreign inbound market for Canada. With an increase of 13% over 2017 arrivals, India saw the strongest growth recorded from all Asia-Pacific markets. Indian tourists spend on average close to $1,500 (₹1,05,000) per trip to Canada for just their tickets and visas.

Indian travellers are most likely to visit Canada in the spring/summer months of May and June during the year given that Canada can get really cold during their winter months of November – February. Given the fact that Indians spend an average of 90-120 days on their trips to Canada, they are most likely to witness a couple of seasons of the year, and this changing climatic condition could result in illness of some nature. The average duration of Medical care in Canada is not as expensive as USA but it is definitely significantly costlier than in India. This is the primary reason that it is recommended that every Indian traveller going to Canada on a business/personal trip must carry their insurance with an Accident & Sickness cover of atleast $250,000, but recommended at $500,000. Indian insurance companies also offer Cashless Treatment for inpatients in hospitals abroad with the assistance of their Third Party Administrator (TPA).
