Types of life insurance available for many Canadians
Although it seems there is a vast array of policy types and product names, they all come down to two forms of life insurance – term or permanent. As a guide, temporary needs should be covered with term insurance, while permanent needs with either term-to-100, whole life or universal life insurance. Often a combination or blended plan may also be better suited for you.
