In Canada, there are many types of insurance products: term life, whole life, critical
illness, travel insurance, and more. Choosing the right one depends on several key
factors:
1. Age and Life Stage
Young families: Term life insurance is affordable and protects against major risks.
Middle-aged: Consider whole life and critical illness coverage for longer-term planning.
High-net-worth clients: Combine permanent insurance with investment (e.g.,
participating whole life or IFA strategy).
2. Financial Budget
Term life is cost-effective for temporary needs; whole life offers lifelong protection and
cash value if your budget allows.
3. Protection Goals
Need income protection? Critical illness and disability insurance may help.
Traveling often? Get travel insurance with global medical coverage.
Planning legacy? Use whole life insurance with trust planning.
4. Tax and Estate Planning
Insurance is not just for risk protection—it can be a strategic tool for tax efficiency and
intergenerational wealth transfer.
Tip: Work with a licensed insurance advisor to evaluate your needs and design a
tailored plan.
