Sun Life's roots in Canada go back nearly 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, we are today helping provide financial security to millions of Canadians.

Our worldwide corporate headquarters are located in Toronto. Our foundation in Canada and our success here at home fuel expansion in other parts of the world.

Our Canadian operations are headquartered in Waterloo. We have more than 7,200 employees in Waterloo and major centres across the country, including Halifax, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. In addition, our more than 3,500 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 #2 position in overall market share.

Our Canadian business includes a significant ownership interest in one of Canada's leading investment management companies – McLean Budden Limited.

McLean Budden Limited is one of Canada's oldest investment counseling firms. Established in 1947, McLean Budden has been part of the Sun Life family since 1997.

Canada is also the headquarters of our Sun Life Reinsurance operation, located in Toronto. It provides solutions to reinsurance clients around the world. Read more about Sun Life Reinsurance.
