Canada Life
One of Canada's oldest and most trusted insurers — since 1847.
Canada Life — A Trusted Canadian Insurer
Canada Life is one of Canada's oldest and most respected insurance companies, founded in 1847 in Hamilton, Ontario. Today, it is part of Great-West Lifeco — one of the largest life insurance holding companies in North America — and serves millions of Canadians with a full range of insurance and wealth management solutions.
With nearly 180 years of operations, Canada Life combines deep Canadian roots with the scale and resources of one of the continent's largest financial services organizations. The company is known for strong policyholder service, comprehensive product offerings, and a commitment to the Canadian market.
I work with Canada Life for clients who need reliable, well-established coverage — particularly newcomers to Canada, families seeking simple term life protection, and businesses looking for group benefits. Their products are also well-suited for new Canadian families who are sponsoring parents through the Super Visa program.
