Group Critical Illness
Group Critical Illness (CI) insurance has evolved from a specialty insurance product and is increasingly becoming an integral part of employer group benefits plans. Research has shown that a significant number of Canadians will face the challenge of a critical illness in their lifetime.
- 2 in 5 Canadians will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime. 75% will survive.* 
- Half of new cancer cases will be lung, breast, colorectal, and prostate cancer.* 
- 9 in 10 Canadians have at least one risk factor for heart disease or stroke.** 
- 95% of Canadians who make it to hospital after a heart attack survive.*** 
How can your group benefit from Critical Illness insurance?
Everyone should plan for their financial security because no one is immune to illness. Critical Illness (CI) insurance provides a lump-sum benefit when the insured person is diagnosed with one of the covered critical illnesses.
- CI insurance is a living benefit 
- CI insurance provides a tax-free lump sum 
- The benefit can be used at the insured’s discretion 
- CI coverage is complementary to other group benefits 
- Full recovery does not impact the payment of the benefit
