Canada Protection Plan was founded in 1992 to serve a market conventional insurers largely ignored: applicants with health conditions, older clients, and anyone who could not or would not complete a full medical underwriting process. It became part of Foresters Financial in October 2020 and continues to operate under its own brand.
Its product shelf is deliberately narrow and deep. Simplified issue plans ask a short series of health questions with no medical exam, and guaranteed issue plans accept applicants regardless of health history. For a brokerage, it is the reliable last resort when every fully underwritten option has been exhausted.
