Struggling with Car Insurance as a Newcomer_ Unfair Premiums Exposed

In this segment, we explore the challenges faced by Hamid Yousafzai, a newcomer from Afghanistan, in affording car insurance in Canada. Despite having a clean driving record for 7 years before moving to Canada, insurance companies do not consider his previous experience, resulting in high premiums. This issue is not unique to Ontario, as similar rules apply across various provinces. We delve into the impact of these policies on newcomers, who often need a car to get to work in areas with unreliable public transit. Hear from experts and advocates who argue for fairer insurance rates for newcomers to help them integrate and support their families. Lisa Xing, CBC News, reports from St. Catharines.
