Vancouver Island British Columbia

Vancouver Island is a large island in British Columbia, just off Canada’s Pacific coast, separated from the mainland by the Strait of Georgia. It is 460 km (286 mi) long and up to 80 km (50 mi) wide, a magnificent landscape of emerald forests, snow-capped mountains, flower-filled meadows, crystal-clear ice-cold lakes and rivers, and pristine coastline pounded by the Pacific Ocean. The island is paradise for outdoor pursuits enthusiasts, and it is one of the few places in the world where you can play golf and go skiing on the same day.

There are mountains down the centre of the island, the Vancouver Island Ranges, dividing it into the rugged and wet west coast and the drier east coast with a more rolling landscape. The highest point on the island is the Golden Hinde at 2,195 m (7,200 ft), lying within the Strathcona Provincial Park, and there are a few glaciers here, the largest of which is the Comox Glacier.

The west coast is rocky and mountainous, characterized by fjords, bays and inlets, while the interior has many rivers and lakes, of which Kennedy Lake, northeast of Ucluelet, is the largest.

At the southern tip of the island is the elegant capital, Victoria, with its historic parliament, narrow streets dotted with cafes, pubs and colourful gardens, and boats floating lazily in the sparkling harbour. There is an abundance of sights to experience here, including the world-famous Butchart Botanical Gardens, with over a million plants. The gardens are divided into themed areas, such as Japanese or Italian, and each is a beautiful garden in its own right.

Activities available in this big outdoors include skiing, white-water rafting, caving, mountain biking, surfing, sailing, diving and snorkelling, bungy jumping and many other exciting pursuits. There are deep-sea fishing trips for halibut, salmon and chinook, whale-watching excursions or kayaking in the inlets of the Pacific Rim National Park.

Trekking and hiking through the wilderness is also popular here, and can be done on horse or on foot along the trails in the fir-lined woods. Wildlife viewing is becoming more and more popular, with black bears high on the wish-list, and ecotours by boat can offer sightings of bald eagles, sea lions and sea otters.

Do you need Critical Illnees Cover

Summary

 

The things you should reflect on when deciding on critical illness cover and the varietyof companies tendering thisstyle of policy.

 

Your mortgage provider may offer you a number of financial products together with critical illness cover. On the other hand, as they are not experts in this market, you will probably find a superior offer elsewhere.

 

The level of insurance cover on offer is just as significant as the premium when seekingcritical illness cover. The policies from Alliance and Leicester and Nationwide are awfully restricted says a Director at Direct Line, a telephone and online life assurance broker. Liverpool and Victoria covers only eight critical illnesses, with Friend Provident covering just 9, whereas the market leader, Swiss Life, covers 38.

 

Parkinsons, Aids, loss of speech, deafness, blindness and diabetes are some of the illnesses not covered by some of the big insurers. The advisersays that it does not warrant consideringa policy, which covers less than 24 conditions.

 

An umbrella term built into all policies is ‘total and permanent disabilities’, this term means you are covered for any ailment, which prevents you working ever again.

 

You need to be alert to the wording as some policies cover ‘any occupation’ whereas others only cover your ‘own’ occupation. You will not get a settlement under a ‘any occupation’ policy unless you are utterly incapable of carryingout a job, however menial. For that reason The senior adviserrecommends you sign up for a ‘own’ occupation policy.

 

There are a large number of companies as well as Swiss Life who offer comprehensive cover including Standard  Life, Norwich Union, Liverpool Victoria, Scottish Provident, Scandia, Zurich Life, Friends Provident, Scottish Equitable and Legal and General..

 

For many years  life insurance   has been promoted by mortgage lenders. Therefore many people never considered critical illness insurance. There are 4 times as many claims on critical illness insurance compared to life insurance, when the consumer has taken out both kinds of policies.

 

Life insurance cover is very important, especially if you have dependents, as they will welcome the lump sum settlement on your death. On the other hand critical illness cover ought to be the priority if you have debts to settle, particularly a home owner loan. The adviserbelieves critical illness to be vital as it covers the cost of your household bills, even if you are incapacitated and unable to work.

 

The premiums will be larger if you are a smoker or heavy drinker and will also rise if you are older. A decreasing term policy, which is intended for people only wanting to insure the cost of their home owner loan, is the cheapest.

 

One of Hamptons customers, a 27 year old non-smoker, who wanted100,000 pounds cover from a critical illness, long term policy, was quoted 15 pounds 50 pence per month, which rose to £24-30 for smokers. However an adviserfrom Direct Line recommended a policy, which gave both life protection and critical illness cover for 17 pounds 80 pence a month, so paying a higher premium could be worth it.

To get the best mortgage, get good advice first.

The Financial Post In May 2009 reported of housing prices “The biggest price declines in March were in Calgary and Edmonton, with prices falling 1.2 per cent in both cities. Vancouver saw a 1.1 per cent decline and Victoria was down 0.9 per cent”.

Let face it: the banks are the banks and they make a lot of money each year because of the large scale of their operations and there clever marketing.
