Get mortgage insurance that puts your family first
For most Canadians, a home is their biggest investment. Mortgage
Guard® from Co-operators can protect your home, and your finances,
by securing your mortgage with term life insurance. What’s more,
our plans come with optional extras – like critical illness and disability
benefits – in one flexible, convenient plan.
What we offer
When it comes to mortgage insurance, you may be wondering how
much you need. Or if it’s even worth it. As with all types of insurance,
the answer depends on many factors. Read on for an overview of our
mortgage coverage, and why it could make sense for you and your
family.
Mortgage Guard® If you’re shopping for mortgage protection insurance
in Canada, Mortgage Guard® is a great option. It lets you decide
how to protect the financial well-being of your loved ones, your lifestyle
and your financial future. Because, unlike mortgage insurance
from other providers, our coverage puts you in total control of your
policy. Here’s how:
- You own your policy, and only you can cancel it.
- Your policy stays in effect, even if you switch lenders.
- In the event of your death, your family receives the benefit directly.
- The funds can be used however your family decides, whether it’spaying
off the mortgage, investing for the future or maintaining their
quality of life.
- Your premium rate is guaranteed for the term of the policy.
- The benefit amount is level for the term of the policy, unless you
choose to reduce it (which also reduces your premium).
- If your situation changes, for example you pay off your mortgage
or sell your home, you can convert your policy to a permanent Life
insurance plan, as permitted.
Critical illness protection
If you are diagnosed with one of 25 covered conditions and the waiting
period (30 days, in most cases) has passed, our Critical Assist®
Rider provides you with a lump-sum payment – between $25,000
and $2,000,000, depending on the level of coverage you select. This
rider also offers the option for a partial payment, if you are diagnosed
with one of four Early Assist covered conditions. The partial payment
is 10% of the policy face amount, up to a maximum of $50,000 and
allows your policy to remain in force should you need to make a claim
for the full amount in the future.
PLUS! Access to Teladoc Medical Experts®
When you add the MDI Rider and/or Critical Assist® Rider, you’ll also
gain access to Teladoc Medical Experts®, an international roster of
top medical experts that can provide advice and support when you
need it. You can use this resource with Mortgage Guard® insurance
as well.

Disability protection
Our Mortgage Guard® Disability Insurance (MDI) Rider provides a

(including property taxes, if desired), to a maximum of $3,500 per
month. You can choose either a 24- or 60-month benefit period,
which can remain in effect up to age 60. MDI is available as a rider on
Versatile Term®, Infinity Term®, and Universal Life policies.
