VIIC offers a wide variety of life insurance products to meet the diverse needs of Vancouver Island residents. Many of today`s most popular programs are built to provide protection while living – such as critical illness and disability insurance. Of course, we also offer the traditional life and mortgage insurance products that shield your family from financial hardship.
Life on Vancouver Island is so wonderfully active, family focused and fulfilling, many of us forget about the 'what ifs' that life often throws our way when we least expect it. That's why VIIC offers a comprehensive range of life insurance products, including:
CRITICAL ILLNESS: We all know someone who has suffered a serious illness. VIIC understand that it is a long and difficult recovery that demands a great deal of emotional and physical strength. What many fail to grasp, until they are faced with such an illness, is the financial burden, often long term, it places on a family. Critical illness insurance protects you and your lifestyle, allowing you to concentrate on healing and recovery. Critical illness insurance is designed to reduce some of the financial stresses that may result from a serious illness.
LIFE INSURANCE: Life insurance is used to protect the financial security of the people you love most. A life insurance policy pays cash benefits, tax free to your beneficiaries, when you die. The amount of money for which you are insured and the type of insurance you buy depends on your needs. Talk to a VIIC life insurance specialist today.
DISABILITY: Disability insurance is designed to protect you from a possible loss of income. What's the probability of this happening? It's greater than you can imagine. Why should you consider disability coverage? It's the surest way to provide guaranteed coverage and guaranteed income. Why should you consider a personal disability insurance plan? Worker's Compensation only covers work related accidents and unemployment insurance only covers 15 weeks. Make sure you protect your lifestyle and the needs of your family with disability insurance. Coverage will be invaluable to you and your loved ones in case of disability.
MORTGAGE PROTECTION: Whether you are a first time home buyer or refinancing an existing mortgage, now is the time to consider what mortgage insurance you have to protect you and your loved ones. Your bank or lender may have already included mortgage insurance in your monthly mortgage payment, but it is never too late to look at your options. Let VIIC show you how a close look at your coverage could end up saving you money and providing more comprehensive coverage.

What is term life insurance? |
 |
Term life insurance provides coverage at a fixed rate of payments (usually paid monthly or annually) for a fixed period of time (for example, 10 year term, 20 year term or life term). If the insured person dies while the policy is in force, the death benefit is paid to the listed beneficiary or beneficiaries. Term insurance is the least costly way to purchase adequate coverage to leave to loved ones. |
 |
What is critical illness insurance? |
|
Critical illness insurance is an insurance product that pays a lump sum cash payment to the insured should that person be diagnosed with a critical illness listed within the insurance policy. |
|
What is mortgage insurance and why is my bank asking for it? |
|
Your lender wants to ensure that the mortgage debt will be paid. Mortgage insurance provides that security to your bank; it protects you, it protects your family and it protects your mortgage lender. |
