About Canada Life
Founded in 1847, The Canada Life Assurance Company and its subsidiaries provide insurance and wealth management products and services in Canada and internationally, primarily in the United Kingdom, Isle of Man, Ireland and Germany.
From early beginnings in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada’s first domestic life insurer was created 20 years before Canada officially became a nation. The Canada Life Assurance Company’s growth prospered both in Canada and with the expansion to international operations. Its reputation for financial strength and stability became the cornerstone of its financial success.
