@MrCFP123 This works with non-registered money not with an RRSP or RRIF. This is for someone in "exceptional” health. The annuity payment amount is fixed for life and cannot be inflation-indexed. Its purchasing power can erode over time. GICs offer inflation protection. The annuity purchaser has no access to capital if unexpected expenses arise. GICs are insured against issuer default by the CDIC. Life annuities and insurance policies are insured against issuer default by an industry-run fund.
