Life *Insurance FAQs
We know that not everyone completely understands all the ins and outs of *insurance. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about affordable life *insurance in Canada.
Do I Need Life *Insurance?
This is the first question most people ask, and it is a fair one. The answer is almost always “yes,” unless you already have sufficient assets in place to provide for your family if you pass away. This is the purpose of life *insurance: to make sure that a family is provided for when the primary provider passes away. Depending on your financial situation at the time of death, your family and estate can find yourself facing a variety of financial needs after you die. These include funeral expenses, outstanding debts, lost income, emergency funds, money to cover your children’s education, and mortgage payments. A life *insurance policy can cover some or all of these requirements.
How Much Life *Insurance Do I Need in Canada?
You should start by calculating your *insurance needs. Add up all the needs your family would face in the event of your death – such as those listed above – and then buy at least that much *insurance. One of our wealth advisors will be able to help you determine the exact amount of *insurance you need.
What Is The Difference Between Permanent Life *Insurance and Term Life *Insurance?
Permanent life *insurance covers you throughout your life, while term life *insurance will only cover you for a set, limited period. Permanent life *insurance costs more but will always pay out a death benefit, no matter when you pass. It usually offers a partial refund of premiums if you decide to cancel your policy. It also usually offers several variable premium payment options. It may also include additional benefits such as Terminal Illness or Accidental Death.
Term life *insurance is only valid for a set time – usually 10, 20 or 30 years. At the end of that period, the cover will end, or you can extend it for another term. This option costs less, and only pays a death benefit if you pass away during the set term. It does not include the option to cancel and take the policy’s cash value. Like permanent *insurance, it comes with a variety of additional benefit options.
Health *Insurance FAQs
Do you have some questions about health *insurance? Here are answers to some of the most common questions about health *insurance in Canada.
Why Do I Need Health *Insurance?
While it is true that provincial and territorial health plans cover many of the most common medical expenses, there are some things that are not covered, such as dental care and some prescription medications. Health *insurance plans help to cover these shortfalls, which makes it a good idea to have one in place.
Is Travel *Insurance Really Necessary?
Your health *insurance plan may not cover your medical needs if you are travelling outside of Canada – or even outside of your province. Provincial and territorial health plans will only cover a small portion of these medical expenses – and they will never pay them upfront. You cannot rely on the government or your regular health plan to cover your medical expenses abroad, so it is very important to have travel *insurance.
How Is My health *Insurance Affected If I Move To a New Province?
If you do move across provincial lines, just let us know and we will make the necessary adjustments. Depending on your new location, you may pay a higher or lower premium.
What Do You Need To Qualify For Health *Insurance in Canada?
You must meet the following requirements to purchase health *insurance products:
- Canadian residency
- Coverage under your provincial or territorial health plan
- Be 18 years of age or older (for a primary insured)
- If you are a Quebec resident, you must also be registered under the RAMQ Prescription Drug *Insurance Plan or have equivalent coverage under a group plan.
Do Health *Insurance Plans Have Maximum Limits?
Yes, each plan has a maximum in terms of the amount you are able to claim over a given period (usually a year). These maximums vary depending on the plan and/or the services for which you are claiming. Once your health *insurance plan is maxed out the insurer will not reimburse future claims.
Why Should I Make Health *Insurance a Financial Priority?
Without sufficient cover, certain medical expenses can be very costly. Government health *insurance plans offer limited cover, even for serious illnesses or injuries. Having a health plan in place will give you peace of mind, knowing that you are prepared for all medical emergencies and eventualities.
*Insurance products and services are offered through Nour Insurance Services Inc., a related and separate company from Nour Private Wealth Inc. Only products and services offered through Nour Private Wealth Inc. are covered by the Canadian Investor Protection Fund.
