SERVING THE CANADIAN SPORT COMMUNITY SINCE 1982

CORONAVIRUS (Covid-19) – Please see “CAIP News” for further information

OVERVIEW

CAIP has become well recognized in providing the most comprehensive insurance protection to Canada’s athletes at all levels while “In Canada” and “Outside Canada”. We have never wavered from our original commitment to provide the same level of insurance coverage, at the same rates, to all Canadian athletes, regardless of their sporting activity.

Insurance coverage is automatic. There are no application forms and there are no exclusions for pre-existing medical conditions.

We recognize the fact that sport injuries can hinder the athlete’s performance and in some cases cut short the athletes sport career. By providing the CAIP insurance protection for both sport accidents and Overuse injuries, we can help relieve some of the financial burden from the athlete so they can seek the needed medical care and therapy. With this assistance, we hope that the athlete can continue their sport healthy and more competitive.

We are very proud of the fact that, since 1982, we have been able to support the Canadian sport community by providing essential insurance protection to Canadian athletes. We appreciate the good relationships we have with the Canadian sport community and we look forward to serving you even better in the coming years.

IN CANADA INSURANCE
