The USPS postal cost calculator will tell you if there is a limit on the
insurance amount (unless it is zero, in which case you will not have the
opportunity to add insurance). Each country sets their own rules on
maximum insurance.
The "high value" designation is now changed to $500 (used to be $200).
I just found out yesterday about that.
I use USPS shipping and the postage calculator often - 3 days or more
each week - and I occasionally ship internationally, so I have learned
*many* of the rules.
I have never had a problem with shipments to Canada, but it is more
pricy than domestic shipments.

Be careful doing that. Some countries do not allow insurance or
set a low value for insurance on Priority Mail shipments. That
means high value shipments (in some cases more than $200) must be
sent Priority Mail Express (EMS) or one of the couriers in order
to be protected.
International shipping is a snake pit ... not all countries are
as reliable, safe and ethical as the US or Canada.
