PRIVATE MORTGAGE INSURANCE

Mortgage
insurance.

Life insurance tied to your mortgage, but owned by you - not by your bank. The capital goes to the beneficiaries you designate, not the lender. The insured amount stays as set out in the contract.

With the lender's creditor insurance, coverage generally follows the loan balance. With a private policy, the capital stays at the amount set out in the contract, even as your balance decreases.

KEY BENEFITS

Why private insurance is different

Private mortgage insurance is ordinary life insurance you attach to your loan - with all the advantages of a policy you truly own.

Fixed capital - not decreasing

Your coverage stays at the initial amount for the period set out in the contract, while your mortgage balance decreases each year.

Stable coverage
Amount chosen by you
Per the contract

Beneficiaries: your family

The capital is paid to your designated beneficiaries - not your financial institution. Your loved ones decide what to do with the money.

Capital free to use
Family protected
Decision is yours

Portable between institutions

If you change banks or refinance, your policy follows you. As long as the amount doesn't change, you don't have to reapply or undergo another medical exam.

Transferable
Independent of the lender
A policy you own

Stable premium - not adjusted to the balance

Your premium is set based on your age and health at signup and stays the same for the period set out in the contract. With the lender's insurance, the premium generally stays the same while the coverage decreases.

WHAT TO COMPARE

The lender's insurance
pays the lender.
Yours goes to your loved ones.

Many homeowners accept the creditor insurance offered by their bank at signing, without comparing.

The difference shows up over time. The lender's coverage generally shrinks with your balance, while the premium generally stays the same.

The right choice depends on your situation: age, health, amount borrowed and family goals. Alexandre compares both options with you, no pressure.

WHAT DETERMINES YOUR PREMIUM

Your profile,
your protection.

Alexandre analyzes your situation to set coverage suited to your needs - not too much, not too little.

Amount to cover
Mortgage balance or total income replacement?

You don't have to cover only the mortgage amount. Alexandre helps you calculate whether your family needs more - to maintain their standard of living beyond paying off the loan.

Coverage duration
Term or permanent?

Term insurance covers a chosen period, which can match all or part of the amortization. Permanent insurance covers you for life; some products build cash value, depending on the product. Alexandre compares both scenarios for your situation.

Adding critical illness or disability
Completing mortgage protection

A disability or a critical illness can keep you from paying your mortgage, even without a death. Alexandre can combine life + disability + critical illness in a coherent plan.

Age and health
Factors that determine your premium

Generally, the earlier you sign up, the lower the premium. Alexandre gives you a personalized quote based on your age, health and the amount to cover. Full and accurate answers at signup help avoid bad surprises at claim time.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between creditor insurance and private mortgage insurance?

Creditor insurance is offered by the lender: the lender receives the benefit, and coverage generally follows the loan balance. Private mortgage insurance is an individual life insurance policy: you own it, you choose the beneficiaries and the capital stays as set out in the contract. On death, your beneficiaries receive the capital and decide what to do with it.

Is bank creditor insurance cheaper?

Not necessarily. Creditor insurance may seem cheaper at signing, but if coverage decreases with the balance while the premium stays the same, the cost per $1,000 of protection rises over time. The comparison depends on your age, health and the product: Alexandre compares the total cost and the real protection of both options with you.

What happens if I sell my house?

If you sell and no longer have a mortgage, you can keep the policy - it continues as ordinary life insurance. Or you can cancel it. You're in control. With the lender's creditor insurance, the protection generally ends when the loan is paid off.

Can I cover a higher amount than my mortgage?

Yes - and it's often advisable. Your mortgage isn't your family's only need on death. Alexandre calculates with you the total amount your loved ones would need: mortgage + income replacement + education costs + other debts.

What happens to my insurance if I refinance?

With a private policy, nothing changes: your policy belongs to you and isn't tied to your institution. With creditor insurance, if you change institutions, the protection generally ends with the old loan and you have to enrol again with the new lender, often with a new health questionnaire, depending on your age and health at that time.

Can I add disability or critical illness to my mortgage protection?

Yes, it's possible. A disability or a critical illness can keep you from paying your mortgage, even without a death. Depending on your needs, Alexandre can combine life + disability + critical illness in a coherent plan.

Do I need a medical exam for a private policy?

Often yes, depending on the amount and your age. With an individual policy, the insurer assesses your file at signup. Some lender insurance checks eligibility at claim time instead (FCAC), which is why accurate answers to health questions matter, whichever option you choose.

Does my private policy follow me if I move?

Yes. Unlike creditor insurance, your policy isn't tied to a specific loan. It keeps protecting your family no matter where you live or how much you owe.
