Insurance
Life, critical illness, disability, and health and dental coverage for individuals, families and business owners.
Life insurance
Life insurance makes sure the people you love are looked after if something happens to you. For business owners, it can keep the company running and protect your family at the same time.
It pays a one-time, tax-free amount to whoever you choose when you die. It's worth a look if you're starting a family or a business, buying a home, carrying debt, passing on assets, planning for taxes, or looking to grow and diversify what you own.

Critical illness insurance
Nobody plans on getting seriously ill. Critical illness insurance pays you a one-time, tax-free amount if you're diagnosed with a covered illness, so you can focus on getting better instead of worrying about money. Each insurer covers a different list of illnesses, but the most common claims are for heart attack, stroke and cancer.
Choose your coverage
Pick an amount, and add optional benefits if you want them.
File a claim if diagnosed
Once you file a claim for a covered illness, you stop paying premiums.
Receive the benefit
You get a tax-free lump sum, and you can spend it however you need to.
Canadians will face a life-threatening illness in their lifetime.
Cover daily costs
Keep paying your bills and day-to-day expenses while you recover.
Protect your savings
You won't need to dip into your retirement savings to pay for treatment.
Disability insurance
Your ability to earn an income is one of the most valuable things you have.
Losing your income is hard on any family or business. Disability insurance pays you a tax-free monthly benefit when an illness or injury keeps you from working, whether that's for a few weeks or several years.
Choose your amount
Pick your coverage, up to the insurer's maximum, and add optional benefits if you want them.
File a claim if disabled
You stop paying premiums once your claim is in.
Receive monthly payments
Tax-free payments start after the waiting period and continue until you go back to work or the benefit period ends.
Per Canada Life, up to 40% of Canadians become disabled for 90 days or longer before age 65.
Replaces your paycheque
You could receive 80–90% of your take-home pay.
Protects your savings
Cover your expenses without draining your savings.
