Term Life Insurance
Looking for the lowest cost term life insurance? Look no further. Term Life Insurance has level premiums for a set period of time. The coverage you select will allow for suitable protection during the years when you have children, mortgages, and other insurable needs. Term Life Insurance is the most cost effective, basic and popular of life insurance products in Canada.- Long or Short-Term Insurance

Term-to-100 Life Insurance
Premiums are level for your entire lifetime - they never go up, they never go down. Term to 100 is commonly used if you are looking for low-cost insurance for the rest of your life for such needs as creating an estate or burial expenses.Whole Life Insurance
Whole Life Insurance premiums are level for life and generally guaranteed. With level premium whole life insurance, you pay more for the cost of the life insurance in the early years and less in the later years. The excess premium paid in the early years builds up funds, which earn interest. At the older ages, the interest on these funds, pay for the increasing cost of the insurance above the cost of your premium. If your whole-life policy is paid up at age 65, no more premiums are needed, as the interest will cover the future cost of insurance. You do not pay income tax on this interest.Universal Life Insurance
Universal Life is flexible, permanent life insurance. Universal Life (UL) combines permanent life insurance with the benefits of tax-sheltered investing. There are three parts to a UL policy;- Investment account
- Life insurance
- Administration
The policyholder has control over certain components that other types of insurance do not offer. The policyholder can change the amount, timing and frequency of their deposits, and increase or decrease the face amount without changing the premiums, as long as there is enough money in the investment account.
