My impression from the looking that I've done so far is that the private insurance markets in Canada are just much less competitive than where we're at or we could buy insurance regionally, so we're also considering buying insurance outside of Canada to cover us for that time.

From what I know, vet costs are pretty high in Calgary. I'm not familiar with other locations. However, I think that pet insurance is more for people who are living on the edge, that any emergency will be hard to handle. I believe there are also accident only insurance plans, that are a lot cheaper, which might be something to consider if you just want to cover an emergency that occurs during the transition time.
