2 in 5 Canadians Will Develop Cancer

2 in 5 Canadians Will Develop Cancer

Did you know that about 2 in 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetimes and 1 in 4 will die of the disease (Canadian Cancer Society, 2013)? That is a scary statistic. Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer for men in Ontario, and breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer for women in Ontario.  Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for men and women in Ontario.

After a cancer diagnosis, 63% of Canadians will survive 5 years later. Many Canadians cope with extreme stress, both mental and financial after a cancer diagnosis. Financial protection is pivotal during this period to help you get better.

Cancer Guard Insurance can give you this financial protection – you can receive a lump-sum payment of up to $100,000 from the date of your cancer diagnosis. With enhanced protection, you can also get additional coverage for other critical illnesses including heart attack, stroke, coronary surgery, paralysis and coma. Furthermore, the allowance that will be paid will be tax-free, allowing you to focus on getting well without financial worries. 

Cancer Guard Insurance comes in three types of protection: a 10-year term protection (renewable until age 75), a 20-year term protection (renewable until age 75) or a level term protection to age 75.
