Individual products offered
Although there may appear to be a vast array of life insurance policy types available, they all consist of one of two basic forms: Permanent insurance and Term insurance. As the names imply, permanent insurance is permanent (for life) and term insurance is temporary. Most people require a combination of the two types to fit their needs. Examples of permanent needs are funeral expenses, survivors' income, taxes at death on capital gains, taxation of RRSPs and RRIFs and charitable bequests. Examples of temporary needs are mortgages, children's education and business loans.
Permanent Life Insurance
Whole Life - These plans provide a guaranteed base amount of insurance protection for life. Whole Life is available as either Whole Life – Pay to Age 100 or 20 Pay Whole Life. With Whole Life – Pay to Age 100, you pay premiums until age 100. With 20 Pay Whole Life you pay premiums on the base policy for only 20 years. Premiums on Whole Life plans are level, which means they are guaranteed never to go up. After the premium paying period, your policy is considered paid up, and your permanent insurance protection will never decrease. Whole Life plans are available to individuals anywhere between the ages of 15 days to 80 years. This makes it a great option if you are looking for permanent protection options for yourself, your children or your grandchildren.
