How does a Canadian buy travel insurance outside of Canada?

Posted April 11th, 2012 by immigratecanada and filed in Immigration to Canada

I am a Canadian citizen, I pay my taxes and my medical bills on time and I am still considered a resident of Canada. I have been in China for over a year and my previous insurance ran out – which didn’t matter because I am covered in China by the school I work for. Now I have to go to Ghana for a week. I’d like to buy travel insurance, but all the sites I’m finding say that you must be in Canada to buy the insurance. I can’t go home first! What should I do?

Or does all that have to be done by the resident of that country? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I need to order a Canadian passport and was told that since I don’t have a picture ID. I can send them a copy of my birth certificate and a copy of my SIN (with a signature). I was wondering if anyone has done that?
I did check requirements and was advised to send SIN. I’m just wondering if anyone else has done this.
