Frequently Asked Questions


What is a critical illness?

A critical illness is a serious, life-altering medical event defined by your policy—such as a heart attack, stroke, or cancer. Critical illness insurance pays out a tax-free, lump-sum benefit following diagnosis and a standard survival period, allowing you to focus on your recovery rather than financial strain.

Disability insurance is designed to replace a portion of your monthly income if you are unable to work due to any illness or injury. Critical illness insurance, on the other hand, pays a one-time lump-sum benefit specifically for covered serious conditions, paid out regardless of whether you can continue working or not.

Yes, many critical illness insurance plans offer an optional ‘Return of Premium’ (ROP) rider. If you remain healthy and make no claims during the life of the policy, you can receive up to 100% of your paid premiums back at surrender or maturity, serving as a reliable financial safety net.

Under current Canadian tax laws, the lump-sum benefit paid from a personally-owned critical illness insurance policy is entirely tax-free. The full amount is yours to spend as you see fit—whether for private medical care, mortgage payments, or lifestyle maintenance.
