Is medical insurance required for a Canadian visitor visa?

I am planning to visit my sister in Canada and I want to know if I need to get a medical insurance before I apply for the visa. I don't have any health issues but I just want to be safe.

No, medical insurance is not required for a Canada visitor visa. However, we strongly recommend that you have travel insurance before you come to Canada. Travel insurance can help cover the cost of medical treatment if you get sick or hurt while in Canada, and it can also help with the cost of repatriation if you need to return home for medical reasons.

There is no requirement for medical insurance for a Canada visitor visa, however, it is strongly recommended. Without medical insurance, you would have to pay for any medical treatment you might need while in Canada, which could be very expensive. If you have medical insurance, be sure to bring your insurance card with you when you travel.
