FAQ

Common questions

How is critical illness different from disability?

Disability replaces income while you can't work. Critical illness pays a lump sum on diagnosis, regardless of whether you keep working.

Living benefits products are sold by licensed life agents and are regulated separately from property and casualty insurance in Ontario.
