The heart and soul of IDC Financial is the late Paul Leonard. It was Paul's
dream to create IDC and his leadership and vision that brought it to reality. He was without equal in the marketing of life insurance and related protection
products. His dedicated contribution to the Financial Services industry is to this day regarded as integral to the success of many of his associates in the industry.
His twenty-nine year career included: being a professional entertainer with a gold record to his credit; an agent; an industry leading agency manager; an MGA
President; Executive Manager; and an Executive Marketing Team Leader. He was the founding Chairman of the Connexus organization, had been a member of the Research
Agencies Group of LIMRA and an education faculty member for ADVOCIS.
Paul held a BA from the University of Toronto and postgraduate achievement from University of Toronto and the University of Nevada. Paul Leonard was a giant in this
industry and a wonderful human being.
Debuted officially on April 1st, 1998 in offices at 330 Front Street in Toronto. It was born as a vision of Paul T. Leonard as
the ideal way to replace the agent/agency format used by Imperial Life. At that time, IDC Financial represented this one carrier. To accommodate its rapid growth IDC
moved to Suite 700, 55 University Avenue, Toronto in August of 1999.
On September 30, 2002, IDC moved its offices to 260 Brunel Road in Mississauga. As the company’s growth continued, there arose a great need to make IDC more
