Give your child a head start
that lasts a lifetime.

A children’s life insurance policy does two powerful things: it protects your child today and builds a financial foundation they can carry into adulthood – at rates that never increase.

$5–$15

coverage they can keep, expand, or cash in as adults
 

More than protection - it's a gift that grows

Lock in low rates now

Children qualify for the lowest possible premiums. Whatever rate you lock in today stays the same for life - even if they develop a health condition later.

Build cash value over time

Whole life policies accumulate cash value your child can borrow against for college, a first home, or a business - tax advantaged and growing quietly in the background.

Guaranteed future insurability

Many policies include a rider that lets your child buy additional coverage as an adult - no medical questions asked. A huge advantage if health issues arise.

Two ways to protect your child

Lifensure has been committed to protecting Canadian families with comprehensive, affordable life insurance solutions. Our journey began with a simple mission: to make life insurance accessible and understandable for everyone.

Whole life for children

Permanent coverage that lasts a lifetime. Builds cash value, locks in low premiums, and can be transferred to your child when they’re ready. The smartest long-term option for most families.

Child rider on parent's policy

Add a rider to your existing life insurance to cover all your children under one affordable monthly fee. Simpler, cheaper, and easy to convert to a standalone policy when they’re older.

Simple to set up, powerful over time

    Tell us your child's age and how much coverage you're looking for. No exam needed — most children qualify easily.

  • Choose the right policy

    We'll walk you through whole life or a child rider on your existing policy. A licensed advisor will help you compare both options side by side.

  • Coverage starts immediately

    Once approved, your child is covered. Many policies activate same week. You pay a small monthly premium and the policy does the rest.

  • Hand it off when they're ready

    When your child becomes an adult, they take ownership of the policy — including all the cash value that's built up over the years.

Parents ask us these all the time

Most carriers allow you to insure children as young as 14 days old. The younger you start, the lower the premium – and the longer the cash value has to grow.
In most cases, no. Children’s policies are typically issued based on a simple health questionnaire. Children almost always qualify with no issues, making this one of the easiest types of insurance to get approved.
 
The policy belongs to your child once they reach adulthood. They can continue paying the same low premiums, access the cash value, increase their coverage (often without a medical exam), or surrender the policy for its cash value if they choose.
 
It depends on your goals. If you’re primarily looking for income replacement, your own policy is the priority. But if you want to lock in your child’s future insurability, start building cash value early, or have a small, guaranteed benefit in the unlikely event of loss — a children’s policy is a smart, affordable addition.
 
It depends on the condition and carrier. Some conditions may result in exclusions or higher rates, while others won’t affect coverage at all. The best way to find out is to get a quote — we work with multiple carriers to find the best fit for your child’s situation.
