Health Insurance

Health insurance products guarantee financial stability in the event of life-changing events. Accidents and critical illnesses can occur at any age but when they strike, they can impact your ability to work and earn a living to sustain your family’s lifestyle.

Living benefits are designed to replace your income and protect your savings. They help sustain your family’s lifestyle requirements and pay the bills while affording you specialized care and ongoing treatments, without placing the financial burden on your loved ones. Living benefits preserve your quality of life as you cope with the lifestyle changes brought on by an accident or illness.

Living Benefits You Need

  • Disability insurance: replaces lost income following the potential loss of limbs, illness, chronic condition, and other traumatic events through monthly disability benefit payments until retirement.
  • Critical illness insurance: pays out a lump sum benefit following diagnosis and a short waiting period to help afford treatments not covered by government health insurance, private care, time off work and other ongoing expenses.
  • Individual Benefits: helps cover healthcare requirements not covered by the provincial plan, the well-being and financial future of loved ones, savings and financial investments, and final expenses.

What Is Critical Illness Insurance?

Critical illness insurance protects you and your loved ones in the event of a life-threatening diagnosis for a serious illness. It’s designed to protect you from the financial impact of a critical illness, which often leaves you unable to work and keep earning a living.

This insurance policy pays out a one-time, tax-free benefit payment to help with immediate expenses and other bills that you wouldn’t be able to pay for when an illness prevents you from working. This helps you focus on recovery instead of worrying about paying the bills.

Additional Benefits

Depending on your critical illness insurance plan, you may also be eligible for other benefits to help you and your loved ones cope with the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery. These can include:
  • Counselling and other mental health support services
  • Expert medical help, including second opinion consultations and other treatment options
  • Family support services, such as child and home care
  • Ongoing nutritional advice for long-term health

What Is Disability Insurance?

This income replacement guarantee aims to match a good percentage of your current salary through a tax-free monthly benefit if a serious illness or accident prevents you from working and earning the same income. It equips you and your dependents with financial security after a life-changing event so that you can retain your income potential until the age of 65, or retirement.

Disability insurance covers a wide range of conditions, not just loss of limbs and paralysis. Disabilities can also mean developing chronic conditions and mental health issues after an accident or illness. A disability insurance policy can replace your income if these prevent you from working or begin to impact your ability to perform well at work.

About Individual Benefits

Individual benefits allow you to access these financial protections to secure your assets and well-being. If you already carry coverage through your employer, consider the flexibility of owning your own personal plan. If you are an independent contractor, business owner, or work in any other capacity that does not provide access to insurance solutions, a customized individual benefits plan can help secure your assets and well-being. Equip yourself with these personalized and affordable insurance solutions, and discover strategies to reduce risk and manage your long-term financial goals.

Extended Health and Dental Coverage

As Canadians, we are fortunate to enjoy healthcare coverage for regular check-ups, hospitalizations, management of chronic conditions, and treatment of critical illnesses. However, this isn’t actually universal healthcare.

Dental and vision care, prescription drugs, and other related treatments are essential to your long-term health but are not covered under the provincial healthcare plan. To access these healthcare services, it’s important to have a comprehensive and affordable individual benefits plan to protect your overall health and well-being.

Life Insurance

Protect your loved ones and dependents in the event of your passing. This can be through an affordable term plan or a much more comprehensive universal or whole life plan. Life insurance equips them with a sizable tax-free death benefit to take care of immediate expenses, like unpaid medical bills and funeral costs, and ensure long-term financial stability in the face of a loss of income.

Financial Planning

Discover registered savings plans and annuities to secure your financial future after retirement. Plan for the future and manage existing assets to ensure stable financial health well after years of hard work so that you can reap the benefits of your labour.
