Critical Illness Insurance

Critical Illness Insurance

Critical Illness Insurance pays a tax-free lump sum if you're diagnosed with a covered serious illness — such as cancer, heart attack, stroke and other eligible conditions. You can use the benefit however you choose, so you can focus on recovery instead of financial stress.

Why it matters

A serious illness can affect your ability to work and create unexpected expenses. Critical Illness Insurance helps protect your savings, income and lifestyle by providing financial support when you need it most.

What this coverage includes

  • Covers many major illnesses that impact Canadian families
  • Tax-free lump-sum payment on diagnosis of a covered illness
  • 100% return-of-premium option — receive your premiums back if you never claim (subject to policy terms and the selected plan)
  • Use the benefit for treatment, mortgage, childcare, household expenses or travel
  • Protects your savings and retirement plans from unexpected medical costs

Who it's for

  • Families protecting their income and lifestyle
  • Homeowners with mortgage obligations
  • Self-employed individuals and business owners without group benefits
  • Professionals who rely on their ability to earn an income

We compare plans from multiple insurance companies to help you find the right Critical Illness coverage for your needs and budget.
