The Travelers brand has been operating in Canada since 1988, and, through a series of acquisitions beginning in 2009, has expanded its presence. That year, it merged with the St. Paul Fire and Marine Insurance Company, which had been operating independently since 1928. In 2013 it purchased Dominion Insurance, previously one of Canada’s largest insurers.

Your home insurance policy will be customized to suit your needs and the property you’re insuring.
Home insurance premiums are determined by dwelling type (is it a single-detached home, a house with a basement tenant suite, or a condo?). Insurance companies also try to predict the kind and size of claim you might make in the future.
Here are some of the criteria insurance companies look at when calculating your premium.

Travelers Canada Home Insurance does not have an app at this time, but their auto insurance arm has one to assist in making and verifying claims.
Travelers Canada offers a five-step process to guide customers through the claim submission process: reporting, activating, adjusting, settlement, closure.
After you contact your broker and Travelers Canada home insurance about your claim, a claims adjuster will call you to verify all your details and will send you a claim letter that walks you through their claims process along with any forms you may need to complete. The claims adjuster may recommend repair providers during this stage of the process. During the settlement stage, you may receive a cheque issued to you or to a recommended repair provider — depending on the circumstances of your particular claim.
