Insurance Products
There are many different types of insurance and figuring it all out can be difficult. Because we are independent — not captive to any single insurer — we compare contracts across the full Canadian market and recommend the carrier and structure that genuinely fits your health, your goals and your budget. Remember: insurance is not just about you. It's about providing for your family, protecting your business, and making sure the wealth you've built actually arrives where you want it to go.
- 01
Term Life Insurance
The most cost-effective way to put a large amount of coverage in place for a defined period — typically 10, 20 or 30 years. Term life is the workhorse policy that replaces your income while the kids are still at home, pays off the mortgage if you're not there to make the payments, and clears any business or personal debt you'd never want to leave behind. We shop the full Canadian market (Canada Life, Manulife, Sun Life, RBC, Equitable, Empire, BMO, iA, Industrial Alliance, Foresters, ivari, Beneva, and more), match the right carrier to your health and lifestyle, and lock in your premiums before your next birthday increases the cost.
- 02
Whole Life Insurance
Permanent, guaranteed coverage that lasts your entire life as long as premiums are paid, with a guaranteed cash value that grows tax-deferred and a dividend that can be taken as cash, used to reduce premiums or purchase additional paid-up insurance. Whole life is one of the most powerful estate planning and intergenerational wealth-transfer tools available in Canada — particularly when it is corporately owned. We use it to fund buy/sell agreements, equalize inheritances, build a tax-free legacy through the Capital Dividend Account, and create a stable, non-correlated asset on your personal balance sheet.
- 03
Universal Life Insurance
A permanent life insurance contract with an investment account attached. You choose the death benefit, the premium and the underlying investments — fixed-interest accounts, GICs or market-linked indices — and the cash value grows on a tax-sheltered basis up to generous CRA limits. Universal life is the right tool when you have already maxed out RRSP and TFSA contributions, have surplus cash flow personally or inside a corporation, and want a flexible, tax-advantaged place to grow long-term wealth alongside permanent protection.
- 04
Critical Illness Insurance
Pays you a tax-free lump sum — typically between $25,000 and $2,000,000 — on diagnosis and survival of a covered illness such as heart attack, stroke, cancer, MS, Parkinson's, ALS, kidney failure and many more (most policies cover 25+ conditions). Use it however you need: cover lost income, pay for treatment not covered by OHIP, bring in family to help, modify the house, or simply take six months off to recover with your family. Add a Return of Premium rider and, if no claim is made, you get every dollar of premium back — making this one of the highest-value 'protect both ways' policies on the market. Available personally or, for incorporated owners, on a corporately owned basis for significant tax efficiency.
- 05
Disability Insurance
Statistically the most likely insurable event during your working years — yet the most under-covered. Disability insurance replaces a portion of your income (typically 60–85% on a tax-free basis when paid personally) if illness or injury keeps you from doing your job. We focus on true 'own-occupation' or 'regular-occupation' contracts with non-cancellable, guaranteed-premium structures so the insurer cannot raise your rates or change your contract once issued. Critical for trades and self-employed business owners, where one back injury can end a career.
- 06
Mortgage Insurance (Done Right)
Bank-issued mortgage insurance is one of the worst deals in Canadian financial services: the coverage decreases as your mortgage balance does, the bank owns the policy and chooses the beneficiary, and underwriting often happens at claim time rather than at application. We replace it with a properly underwritten personal term policy — same monthly cost or less, level coverage that doesn't shrink, and a death benefit that goes to your family rather than the bank, with full flexibility on what to do with the money.
- 07
Travel, Health & Visitor Coverage
Snowbird and travel medical coverage, top-up health and dental plans for those without group benefits, super visa insurance for parents and grandparents visiting Canada, and individual health plans for the self-employed. We round out the gaps that government health coverage doesn't.
- 08
Business & Corporately Owned Insurance
Buy/sell agreement funding, key person insurance, corporately owned critical illness, business overhead expense, and corporate-owned whole life used as a tax-efficient wealth vehicle. See our Business Services page for the full breakdown of how we use these tools to protect, fund and transition incorporated businesses.
