Manulife Insurance

Manulife is one of the world's leading financial services groups, originally established in Toronto, Canada. Founded in the late 19th century, it has grown from a local life insurance provider into a global powerhouse offering insurance, investment management, and wealth solutions. Its founding history is deeply tied to Canadian national leadership, as the company's first president was Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald.

While the brand operates globally—notably under the brand name John Hancock in the United States—its core operations, underwriting, and administrative services for its Canadian products remain headquartered in Toronto. The company manages a vast portfolio of insurance products, including the Visitor to Canada plans, which are underwritten by The Manufacturers Life Insurance Company. Manulife continues to be a publicly traded entity on various stock exchanges, maintaining its status as an independent, major global financial institution.
