We'll say upfront what other medical-tourism sites won't: Canada is the market where our savings are smallest. They're still substantial — here's the full 2026 arithmetic so you can judge for yourself.
| Case type | Typical Canadian price | India (treatment only) |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | C$3,500 – C$5,000 | C$1,707 – C$2,390 |
| Moderate | C$4,500 – C$7,000 | C$2,649 – C$3,845 |
| Full / complex | C$6,000 – C$9,500 | C$3,845 – C$5,040 |
India prices are clinical treatment only — flights and hotel are your own bookings, at your own budget; we sell no packages (why that protects you). The full-case treatment gap runs C$2,710 – C$5,655 depending on the quote you were facing — your travel comes out of that, and what's left is still real money. Lite cases save less — if that's you, weigh it against how much you'd enjoy the trip itself.
The Canadian Dental Care Plan changed a lot of conversations, but not this one: adult cosmetic orthodontics is not covered. CDCP orthodontic provisions target severe, medically necessary cases under tight criteria. Private workplace riders help, but with the same lifetime-cap structure as US plans (typically C$1,500–C$3,000, once). Against an C$8,500 Toronto quote, you're still C$5,500+ out of pocket — far more than India's entire treatment price, with your flights on top of the difference.
No. The CDCP covers basic and preventive dentistry for eligible households; orthodontic coverage is limited to severe, medically necessary cases under specific criteria — cosmetic adult alignment isn't included. Private workplace plans sometimes carry orthodontic riders, but like US plans they cap at a lifetime maximum (commonly C$1,500–C$3,000) that covers a fraction of a C$8,000 case.
Yes — Air Canada flies Toronto–Delhi and (seasonally) Vancouver–Delhi nonstop, around 13–14 hours. One-stop options via Europe or the Gulf are usually cheaper; you book whichever suits you, since flights are always your own booking at your own budget.
Canadian Invisalign prices are somewhat lower than US metro prices while the flight is longer, so the gap a Canadian keeps after paying for their own travel is smaller than a US patient's — though for moderate and full cases the treatment saving remains substantial, typically 40–60% before your travel spend. For Lite cases, honestly, the trip may not be worth it unless you wanted to visit India anyway.
You pay the clinic directly in Indian rupees at the day's rate — international cards and wire transfers work seamlessly from Canadian banks, and EMI instalment plans are available. Your quote is itemised in both INR and CAD equivalents so there are no conversion surprises.
