Going to Canada without an LOI

hmmquite

So the deal is this,

I applied for my 2nd year visa back in December, and since Jan 25th when it was passed onto the Canadian High Commission I haven't heard a peep.

Basically I know plenty of people to accommodate me, so I'm thinking of heading over next week as a tourist and, should my LOI ever arrive, I'll hop the border and activate it.

So I know I need to have a return flight booked, but do I need anything else in addition to that? For instance, do I need any sort of travel insurance?

Thank you

You don't need insurance until you pick up the visa, you need insurance that covers you for the year.

youre never asked for insurance, its not a prerequisite of entering the country, only of the IEC scheme, and it's not in the border guard's remit to ask for it
