Canada
Sun Life's roots in Canada go back 140 years when we began selling life insurance to Canadian families in 1871. With a strong distribution network, innovative technology and long-standing relationships with some of the country’s largest employers and associations, we are today providing financial products and advice to millions of Canadians.
Our worldwide corporate headquarters are located in Toronto. Our foundation in Canada and our financial success and stability here at home continue to fuel expansion in other parts of the world.
Our Canadian operations are headquartered in Waterloo. We have more than 7,500 employees in Waterloo and major centres across the country, including Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. In addition, our more than 3,000 Sun Life advisors form the largest exclusive life, health and wealth insurance distribution channel in Canada and are located in communities throughout the country.
Our business in Canada is strong. We hold numerous #1 rankings in the industry for individual insurance and annuity sales, and in our group business for pension and registered retirement savings plans. In the group benefits business, we hold the #1 position in overall market share.
Our wealth business grew in 2010 with the launch of Sun Life Global Investments (Canada) Inc., a new investment company in Canada.
