About Sun Life Financial

Who you’re working with. In their own words, plainly told.

Sun Life Financial has been protecting Canadians since 1865, making it one of the longest-standing life insurance carriers in the country. Today Sun Life serves over 10 million individual and group plan members across Canada, offering one of the broadest product shelves in the market: term life, participating whole life, universal life, critical illness, disability, long-term care, and group benefits.

Sun Life is a strong option for Canadians who want a single carrier to cover multiple needs — individual coverage for one family member, group benefits through an employer, and wealth accumulation in the same portfolio. The My Sun Life digital portal makes it straightforward to manage policies, submit claims, and check group benefit balances in one place without calling an advisor.

From an underwriting standpoint, Sun Life is known for flexible decisions on clients with well-managed health conditions such as controlled diabetes, resolved cancers, and mental-health history. That flexibility makes Sun Life worth comparing even when a client expects to face a rating or decline from other carriers.

Sun Life's term products start at 10 years and extend to 30-year guarantees, with renewable and convertible options. Participating whole life through Sun Life builds guaranteed cash value and earns dividends that can reduce premiums or purchase additional paid-up insurance over time. Universal life adds investment account flexibility for clients focused on estate planning or corporate-owned life insurance.

When you run a comparison through Lowest Rates Hub, Sun Life appears in your results wherever its current pricing and underwriting guidelines fit your age, health profile, and coverage amount. You compare Sun Life's rate alongside other major Canadian carriers so you can see exactly where it lands.

Sun Life offers term life insurance (10, 15, 20, and 30-year terms), participating whole life insurance (builds guaranteed cash value and earns dividends), and universal life insurance (flexible premiums with an investment account component). Sun Life also offers critical illness insurance, disability insurance, long-term care insurance, and group benefits plans for employers.
Sun Life is known for flexible underwriting on clients with managed health conditions — including controlled type 2 diabetes, a history of depression or anxiety, and some resolved cancers. Depending on the condition and how well it is managed, Sun Life may offer standard rates, a rated (higher-premium) policy, or a policy with an exclusion. Lowest Rates Hub advisors can help you identify which carriers are most likely to offer favourable terms for your specific health history.
Sun Life term life insurance covers you for a fixed period (10–30 years) at a guaranteed premium, with no cash value — it is the most affordable way to get a large death benefit. Sun Life participating whole life is permanent coverage that builds guaranteed cash value over time and earns policyholder dividends, which can reduce premiums or buy additional paid-up insurance. Term is usually the right fit for income replacement during working years; whole life is more commonly used for estate planning, legacy giving, or final expense coverage.
