Life insurance policies are now also available to people with a criminal history, that have been declined for life insurance in the past, have driving violations, frequently travel to foreign lands, participate in hazardous sports and are in the country with a valid work permit (maximum $250k).

“Our new products now protect more people with a wider range of health conditions and more lenient approvals. For example, if you enjoy skydiving or flying your own plane, you will be covered at a competitive price. Our products are as unique as each of our customers,” Aziz added.

Coverage under a Canada Protection Plan could also qualify you for additional benefits such as short-term emergency financial assistance, eligibility for one of 250 post-secondary education scholarships for as much as $8,000 a year for students that meet the requirements and terminal illness loans for up to 75% of your coverage amount, with a limit of $250,000.

These improvements and additional benefits to Canada Protection Plan insurance products were designed to help more people obtain the coverage they need to protect themselves and their families from potential financial ruin in the event of an unexpected death. Simplified Issue and No Medical life insurance typically requires only a few medical questions, no tests and no medical exam.
