It is a life insurance policy owned and paid for by a business. It is often used by incorporated business owners for estate planning, covering tax liabilities, funding buy-sell agreements, and transferring wealth tax-efficiently.

It pays you a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with a covered condition, such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. A traditional critical illness insurance covers up to 26 medical conditions. If you have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, cholesterol or blood pressure, you still get a critical illness insurance coverage that covers limited number medical conditions. You can use the money for treatment, income replacement, or any other need during recovery.

Life insurance pays after you pass away, while critical illness insurance pays while you are alive, after you are diagnosed with a covered condition and meet the policy's survival period.

It replaces a portion of your income if you cannot work due to illness or injury. For many people, their ability to earn an income is their most valuable asset, and this coverage protects it.

Group coverage is a good start, but it may be limited, may be taxable when paid, and typically ends if you leave your job. A personal policy can fill the gaps and stays with you.

Plans typically cover costs that provincial health plans do not, such as prescription drugs, dental care, vision care, and paramedical services like physiotherapy and massage therapy. Coverage varies by plan.

Mortgage insurance pays off or reduces your mortgage if you pass away or become critically ill. Bank policies are usually tied to the lender and the loan balance. A personal policy can be more flexible, portable, and in some cases more cost-effective.

It covers emergency medical expenses, hospitalization, and often trip interruption or repatriation while travelling or visiting Canada. Provincial health plans do not cover visitors, so this protection helps avoid very large medical bills.

Coverage varies by insurer and plan. Many policies cover pre-existing conditions only if they have been stable for a set period before departure. Always disclose your health history accurately so your claim is not denied.

Group benefits can include health, dental, life, disability, and critical illness coverage for employees. They help attract and retain talent, and the premiums are generally a deductible business expense.

A Registered Education Savings Plan helps you save for a child's post-secondary education. The federal government adds a grant (the Canada Education Savings Grant) on eligible contributions, and the growth is taxed in the student's hands when withdrawn, usually at a low rate.

The FHSA helps first-time home buyers save for a down payment. Contributions are tax-deductible, and withdrawals for a qualifying home purchase are tax-free. The annual limit is $8,000, with a lifetime maximum of $40,000.

RDSPs are for Canadians who are eligible for the Disability Tax Credit. Eligible families may receive government grants and bonds, which can add significantly to long-term savings for a person with a disability.

Mutual funds are investment pools managed by professionals. Segregated funds are similar, but they are issued by insurance companies and may offer guarantees on part of your investment at maturity or death, as well as potential creditor protection and estate planning benefits.
