“Nearly half of Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetime. 62% are expected to survive or 5 years or more.” *

Being financially secure means you never risk losing the two most treasured items we all have: our home and our lifestyle.
However, did you know that …
* 1 in 3 Canadians will develop a life threatening cancer? *
* 91% of the patients who were admitted with a heart attack survive? *
* The death rate from stroke has decreased 50% since 1950? *

• 85% of Canadians survive their first stroke
• 62% of Canadian cancer patients survive
• 89% survival rate among new heart attack patients

People are surviving with these critical illnesses due to medical advances. The main concern people like you have is … Can you recover financially from one of these illnesses? With the aging population, the Canadian health care system is under an increasing strain and it is unlikely that they will be able to provide the financial assistance and options you will desire.
Critical Illness (CI) is an insurance coverage in Canada that pays you a lump sum of money up to $2,000,000 if you are hit by a critical illness and this protection can be purchased for as little as a dollar a day. No conditions are attached to the payout. You are the one who decides how the money will be spent.
