"You need insurance, not only because you are going to die, but because you are going to live." - Dr. Marius Barnard, product founder .

With advances in medicine, science and technology and increasing life expectancy in Canada, we have a greater chance of experiencing a serious illness and surviving!

Our policy covers 22 conditions, some of which include the following:

  • Heart Attack
  • Cancer
  • Stroke
  • Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery
  • Severe Burns
  • Loss of Limbs
  • Multiple Sclerosis
  • Alzheimer's Disease
  • Parkinson's Disease
  • Major Organ Transplant
  • Loss of Speech
  • Deafness
  • Paralysis
  • Kidney Failure
  • Coma
  • Blindness
  • Occupational HIV
  • Motor Neuron Disease (including ALS)

What is the difference between Disability or Critical Illness?

Disability Insurance pays you a benefit to help meet day to day living living expenses while you are disabled. With disability insurance, the benefit is for a period of time until the beneficiary is fit to return to work.

Critical Illness Insurance on the other hand pays you a one time, lump sum benefit if you are diagnosed with a critical illness or condition as defined in your policy and you satisfy the survival period. This differs from disability in that a person diagnosed with a critical illness is not expected to return to work.

The benefit can be used to:

  • seek timely or non insured treatment outside Canada
  • pay outstanding loans
  • allow a healthy spouse to take time off work
  • put towards for anything else you want
How you use it is up to you!

Since Disability and Critical Illness Insurance meet different needs, a sound financial plan should include both.
