Life insurance
This is insurance that protects individuals, or those depending on them, against financial loss as a result of injury, sickness, or death. Depending on your needs, you can choose from many different types of life insurance.
Term insurance is purchased for a set coverage period. At the end of the term, you decide whether you would like to renew it or let the coverage end.
Whole life or permanent insurance runs continuously for your whole life, and usually combines a death benefit with a savings portion. The savings portion can build a cash value, against which you can borrow funds.
Sickness or disability insurance covers your usual expenses in the event you are sick or disabled, and cannot work.
Travel insurance
Travel insurance protects you when you’re travelling outside of your home province.
Your provincial medical plan pays a portion of some losses, and travel insurance picks up the balance. It also covers many types of loss that may not be covered at all by your provincial plan. This type of coverage should be purchased whenever you’re leaving your home province, whether you’re going to Europe for a month, the US for the weekend, or even to another province to visit family.
