New Brunswick Insurance Broker — Independent Advice, 11+ Carriers Compared

Seasonal work, self-employment, small business, family farms and fisheries — New Brunswick incomes don't always come with a group benefits plan attached. Your protection shouldn't depend on whether your job happens to offer one.

Nova Star Insurance Consultants is a women-owned, independent brokerage based in Richmond Hill, Ontario, serving clients across New Brunswick. We compare plans from 11+ Canadian carriers — including Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, and RBC — and we work for you, not an insurer.

Why New Brunswick clients use an independent broker

  • Coverage that fits non-standard work. Seasonal, contract, and self-employed income needs individual life, disability, and health coverage that doesn't vanish between seasons or jobs.
  • More than one price. A bank or direct insurer quotes only its own plans. We compare 11+ carriers side by side.
  • An advisor who knows your name. A dedicated consultant, not a call centre — with reviews as your work and family change, and help at claim time.

The New Brunswick difference: Medicare covers care, not the extras

New Brunswick Medicare covers medically required doctor and hospital services. Prescription drugs are covered only through the New Brunswick Drug Plan and other specific programs for those who enrol or qualify — and routine dental, vision, and paramedical care are on you. Private coverage fills the gaps:

  • Health & dental for everyday costs, coordinated with any provincial drug coverage you have.
  • Disability and critical illness — income protection matters most when work is seasonal or physical.
  • Life insurance sized to your family and debts, not a one-size group amount.

FAQ

Does New Brunswick cover prescription drugs?

Only through the New Brunswick Drug Plan and specific programs, for those who enrol or qualify. Many residents rely on private coverage for drugs, dental, and vision — we help you coordinate the two.

I do seasonal work. Can I still get disability and life coverage?

Yes — individual policies are designed for people whose income doesn't come from one year-round employer. Your occupation and income pattern shape the options, which is exactly what a comparison is for.

What does it cost to use a broker?

Nothing extra. We're paid by the carrier you choose, at no added cost to your premium.

How much life insurance do I need?

A common starting point is 7–10× income, adjusted for mortgage and dependents. Our free needs analysis works out your number.

Which areas do you serve?

All of New Brunswick, by phone and online — plus ON, QC, AB, NS, and NL.
