Not exactly: Canada Life (formerly Great West Life) through my employer has no exclusions for either Covid or travel advisories. And I have that in writing. Sunlife, who covers government of Canada employees, also doesn’t have coverage restrictions, as per information they have released publicly. For those of us with benefits through work, coverage is likely there (though check with your carrier). The issue will be for people who buy one off or multi-trip plans through travel insurance providers. They will have difficulty arranging coverage.
My work plan is with Medavie Blue Cross. I called them about it and they specifically said no covid coverage.
If your work plan covers you, that is great! However, you would be a minority then.
I don’t think it would be just one-off travelers who wouldn’t be able to get coverage. It would be most insurance providers having that exclusion.
