Latest updates on COVID-19

We’re here to help.

COVID-19 has changed the everyday lives of Canadians and people all around the world. One thing that will not change is our commitment to your health and financial well-being. Here are the resources we have available to help you.

  • Will the COVID-19 vaccine affect my life insurance policy or workplace benefits?

    No. The COVID-19 vaccine will not affect your current life or health insurance policies. It will also have no impact on your ability to apply for future coverage with Sun Life.

    We're supportive of the government-approved vaccines to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. And we continue to follow guidance from the Canadian government. 

We’re financially strong

At Sun Life, we have a healthy level of capital to meet our financial commitments to Clients.

Here’s how Sun Life’s financial strength is rated as a company and what you can expect from us.
