Canadian Life Insurance

The life insurance gives you and your family financial security in the case of premature death. In the unfortunate event that you pass away, your insurance company will pay to your family a certain amount of money in exchange for premium that you have paid on a regular basis. It is reasonable to purchase a life insurance because in case of premature death, the life insurance policy can be used to:

* Pay the final expenses for the funeral ceremony.
* Provide for the family's living.
* Pay off any debts or a mortgage loan and create a rent fund.
* Ensure children's college education.

While you are still living, you can use some of the life policies to build tax-advantage cash savings that may be used for business opportunities or personal development; they may help in providing a long-term care for you or a family member; or you may supplement your pension plan;
