FAQ for BC, Alberta, and Ontario clients

Is the first consultation free?

Yes. The first conversation is a free 30-minute session or protection review — book a time that works for you using the calendar on the booking page.

Do you work with newcomers to Canada?

Our primary focus is professionals and business owners, but we're happy to help newcomers with foundational guidance as well — plain-language basics on Canadian banking, credit, registered accounts, and insurance.

Do you help with insurance and protection planning?

Yes. Protection planning can include reviewing life insurance, disability coverage, critical illness coverage, mortgage protection, workplace benefits, and business-owner risks.

Can meetings happen virtually?

Yes. Meetings are available by Zoom for clients across BC, Alberta, and Ontario, with in-person options in the Langley and Surrey, BC area and virtual support available Canada-wide.

How is financial planning different from just buying a product?

Financial planning starts with goals, cash flow, family needs, debt, risk, retirement, and future priorities. Products may be considered only after the full picture is understood.

What should I prepare before the first call?

Bring your main questions, goals, current debts or mortgage details, existing coverage if relevant, and any upcoming life changes such as buying a home, starting a family, changing jobs, or growing a business.
