Life insurance pays a lump sum to the people you name if you pass away — helping Ontario families stay in their home, keep their routines and stay on track with their goals.
Why life insurance matters for Ontario families
If your family depends on your income, the question isn’t whether you need life insurance — it’s how much and what kind. In addition, your named beneficiaries generally receive the death benefit tax-free, and they can use it for anything: the mortgage, daily bills, childcare, education or final expenses.
That’s why we’ll help you calculate the right amount and choose a structure that fits your budget today and your plans for tomorrow.
Is it right for you?
- You have a mortgage or other debts
- Your partner or children rely on your income
- You’re starting or growing a family
- You own a business or have business partners
- You want to leave a legacy or cover final expenses
Options we can help you compare
Term life
Affordable coverage for a set period — commonly 10, 20 or 30 years — matched to the years your family needs it most, for example, while you pay down the mortgage or your children live at home.
Permanent life
Whole life and universal life coverage that lasts your lifetime. It can also build cash value over time, so many families use it for estate planning and final expenses.
Mortgage protection
Personally owned term insurance as an alternative to lender mortgage insurance — as a result, you choose the beneficiary, you keep the coverage if you move, and it doesn’t shrink as your balance does.
Good to know
- Premiums are based on age, health, lifestyle and the amount of coverage — the younger and healthier you are, the less it typically costs.
- However, coverage through work often has low limits, and it usually ends if you leave your job.
- You can also convert or renew many plans, so ask us how each option stays flexible.
- All coverage is subject to the insurer’s underwriting approval.
- Before you buy life insurance in Ontario, you can confirm any agent’s licence on the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA) website.
Common questions
How much coverage do I need?
A needs analysis looks at your debts, income replacement, children’s education goals and final expenses, minus savings and existing coverage. Then we’ll walk through it with you.
Can I buy coverage for my spouse or children?
Yes. Many families cover both partners, and some plans let you add children’s coverage at low cost.
