Losing your Canadian passport is never a pleasant experience, especially if someone took it. If your passport has been stolen, World Nomads travel insurance may be able to help.
World Nomads travel insurance plans have coverage for theft or damage of the following documents:
You can claim up to the maximum limit stated in the policy towards the replacement of your passport or one or more other travel documents mentioned above.
Read your policy for more details. Passport coverage falls under the “Baggage, Personal Effects and Sporting Equipment” section.
Remember to stay calm! Getting a passport stolen is awful, but you wouldn’t be the first person it’s ever happened to while travelling. Embassies and government agencies often have established methods of dealing with stolen passports, and the 24/7 Emergency Assistance team is also here to help.
It should go without saying, but in order to make a claim, you must have done everything you could to protect your passport. You won’t be covered if you leave it behind at a restaurant, for example.
If you have questions or require assistance, contact the 24/7 Emergency Assistance and they can help you with the next steps. They’ll help you find the closest Government of Canada office where a new passport can be sorted out.
