When your lender offers to sell you critical illness insurance with your mortgage, what will your answer be?
Purchasing critical illness insurance to protect your mortgage makes a lot of sense. And purchasing it from the lender who's providing your mortgage may seem convenient.
But when it comes to purchasing critical illness insurance to protect your mortgage, it's important to know that you do have options. For example, did you know that purchasing an individually-owned critical illness insurance plan can provide greater flexibility and value than a plan offered by your lender?

Travelling Soon? Expecting Visitors?
Are you going to the USA for business for a day or two? Perhaps you're exploring Canada's coast, heading to the Caribbean or travelling overseas? Family or friends are coming to stay? But do your guests have insurance to protect them while they're here? Travel insurance protects you against the cost of unexpected emergencies that may occur during your trip — costs only marginally covered by your provincial health insurance plan, and insurance for visitors to Canada can be purchased prior to their departure or when they first arrive.
