Critical Illness Insurance
Focus on your recovery. We help you protect your financial stability.
A serious illness doesn’t just affect your health
Survivors of serious illnesses often face not only physical consequences, but also long-term financial challenges following their diagnosis.
Critical illness insurance protects you from that impact by providing a lump sum, tax-free payment when you are diagnosed with a covered condition.
You can use that money to:
- Hire a private nurse or caregiver.
- Cover treatments or medical devices not included in the provincial health plan.
- Pay your mortgage, credit cards, or daily living expenses.
- Take time off to prioritize your recovery.
- Cover any other need that supports your healing process.
How does this insurance work?
Financial support when you need it most
Unlike other insurance plans, this coverage pays you directly upon diagnosis. You don’t need to justify how you use the funds: you can cover treatments, adapt your home, travel, or simply rest without financial stress.
The benefit is paid once the medical diagnosis is confirmed and the survival period has passed (usually 30 days). This insurance can also be combined with your life insurance for comprehensive and long-term protection.
Premiums for a $50,000 CAD policy can be as low as $2 per day, depending on your age and the plan selected.
Statistics show that people over the age of 55 are more likely to be diagnosed with a critical illness. That’s why securing coverage early gives you better premiums and greater access to protection.
