Consumer Protection Plan
Assuris administers the industry Consumer Protection Plan, which
protects Canadian life and health insurance policyholders if their life
insurance company should fail. Assuris works in partnership with
regulators to identify potentially troubled companies at an early
stage. It protects policyholders by minimizing the loss of benefits
and ensuring a quick transfer of their policies to a solvent company.
Assuris is the not-for-profit organization established and funded by
the Canadian life and health insurance industry, and governed by an
independent Board of Directors.
Assuris reviews and updates its coverage to respond to changes in
the market and the industry. Comprehensive details of benefits
covered by Assuris and a list of members can be found on its web
