Mortgage disability insurance

Help protect your family, your home and your savings if you’re unable to work

One in three Canadians will be disabled for 90 days or more before age 65.1 If that were to happen to you, would you have trouble keeping up with your mortgage payments? Many people would, which is why mortgage disability insurance is so important. If you are totally disabled for 60 days or more, it will cover your monthly mortgage payments so you can focus on getting better.
