There are generally two ways to get a mortgage in Canada: From a bank or from a licensed mortgage professional. While a bank only offers the products from their particular institution, licensed mortgage professionals send millions of dollars in mortgage business each year to Canada’s largest banks, credit unions, trust companies, and financial institutions; offering their clients more choice, and access to hundreds of mortgage products! As a result, clients benefit from the trust, confidence, and security of knowing they are getting the best mortgage for their needs. Whether you’re purchasing a home for the first time, taking out equity from your home for investment or pleasure, or your current mortgage is simply up for renewal, it’s important that you are making an educated buying decision with professional unbiased advice.

Term insurance is to protect against a loss within a period of time such as 10, 20 or even 30 yrs. Many consider this option to cover a mortgage. Permanent or Whole Life Insurance is an option to cover last expenses or just to make sure your loved ones are taken care of financially |

When you planned for your retirement, did you think about long term care? Probably not, but you might want to think again. There’s a good chance that at some point during your retirement, you or your spouse will need long term care and it’s important to be prepared. What is long term care? Long term care insurance provides a benefit in the event that an individual is assessed as being and continuing to be functionally dependent. Generally this means that the individual must not be able to perform a specified number of activities of daily living or what we call “ADL’s ” or they must have a cognitive impairment.
ADL’s include bathing, eating, dressing, toileting and transferring, while cognitive impairment generally refers to a loss of mental capacity, as demonstrated by the individuals inability to think, perceive, reason or remember. A long term care policy may be structured as a reimbursement policy or an income policy. A reimbursement policy reimburses the insured for the actual cost of the services received up to a daily / monthly maximum. An income plan will pay a pre- determined monthly income regardless of the cost of services rendered. |
Just because you do not have access to a group benefits packages does not mean you cannot get a health package to insure your family’s medical and dental expenses. Health Insurance is there to reimburse everyday expenses like dental or vision, but in reality it is there to protect your family from the unexpected.
Unexpected illness or accident can occur at anytime. Prescription drug costs are on the rise because of ongoing medical advances.Did you know some cancer medications can run up to a 1,000.00 per week and Multiple Sclerosis maintenance drugs can range anywhere from $20,000 per year and up. If you wait until you are diagnosed with a medical condition that requires ongoing treatment or prescription drugs it will become very difficult or impossible to get insurance from a private carrier at the levels of coverage you will require. Not sure what the government covers? |
