Why Life Insurance Matters More Than Ever
Life insurance is one of the most powerful financial tools available — yet it’s one that many people delay getting.
In Canada, the cost of living, mortgages, and family expenses continue to rise. Life insurance ensures that if something unexpected happens to you, your loved ones will have the financial stability they need to continue their lives without hardship.
It’s not just about money — it’s about peace of mind and leaving a legacy of care and responsibility.
What Is Life Insurance and How Does It Work?
Life insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company.
In exchange for your regular premium payments, the insurer agrees to pay a tax-free lump sum benefit to your beneficiaries upon your death.
That benefit can be used to:
- Pay off debts such as a mortgage or credit cards
- Replace lost income
- Cover daily living expenses or children’s education
- Fund future investments or inheritances
It’s one of the simplest ways to turn your income into long-term family protection.
The Two Main Types of Life Insurance in Canada
A. Term Life Insurance
- Covers you for a specific period (e.g., 10, 20, or 30 years).
- Ideal for temporary needs such as mortgage protection or raising a family.
- Lower initial cost — great for young families or new homeowners.
- Simple and easy to understand.
💡 Best for people who need affordable coverage during their working years.
B. Permanent Life Insurance
- Covers you for life, as long as premiums are paid.
- Builds cash value over time that you can borrow or withdraw.
- Can be part of long-term wealth and estate planning.
💡 Best for those who want lifelong coverage, tax advantages, and legacy planning.
Term vs. Permanent: Which One Should You Choose?
Choosing between term and permanent life insurance depends on your goals.
Ask yourself:
- Do I need protection for a specific period or for life?
- Do I want my insurance to also act as an investment?
- What is my current budget versus my long-term financial plan?
💬 Many Canadians start with a term policy and later convert to a permanent plan as their income grows.
How Much Life Insurance Do You Need?
A common rule of thumb is to have 7–10 times your annual income in coverage.
However, a more accurate calculation includes:
- Total debts (mortgage, car loans, etc.)
- Ongoing expenses (utilities, education, etc.)
- Future goals (college, retirement, legacy)
A licensed financial advisor can help you calculate the exact amount based on your unique situation.
