If you’re critically ill, the last thing you want to worry about is how to pay the bills

The Critical Illness Plan can pay a lump-sum benefit directly to the insured upon diagnosis of a covered life-threatening condition.

Why choose this program?

  • Canadians are more confident about physically surviving a critical illness than financially surviving it.
  • The average cost of a single course of treatment with newer cancer drugs is $65,000. You could receive up to $1,000,000 upon diagnosis of life-threatening cancer, heart attack, stroke or one of up to 15 other common covered conditions.
  • Affordable rates exclusive to engineering professionals and their spouses.
  • Ten percent savings on premiums for coverage of $125,000 or more.
  • Return of premiums if you die while the policy is in force and you have not received, or are not eligible to receive, a critical illness benefit.
  • Health Service Navigator® gives you free access to world-class medical second opinions and medical coordination services, even if you are not making a claim.

Program details

  • Two types of coverage, Essential or Enhanced, cover six or 18 conditions, respectively
  • Ten percent savings for coverage amounts of $125,000 or more
  • Premiums waived if you become totally disabled for three continuous months before age 65
  • Premiums returned if you die without making any claims under this Plan

To help meet the costs associated with surviving a serious illness, you and your spouse may apply for benefit amounts between $25,000 and $1,000,000 for either of two coverage types:
