During the life insurance application process, you’ll be asked if you’d like to add on critical illness insurance coverage as well.

What is the best life insurance provider in Canada? 

Choosing the best life insurance provider in Canada depends on your personal needs and preferences. While many companies offer quality services, it's important to look for providers that are transparent, user-friendly, and tailored to your specific requirements. PolicyMe stands out by simplifying the insurance process, making it quicker and more affordable without compromising on quality. They use clear, straightforward language and focus on cutting through red tape and inefficiencies often found in the industry. 

But take note that what you’re looking for in terms of coverage will definitely influence who the best life insurance provider is for you.

Who is the cheapest life insurance company? 

Identifying the cheapest life insurance company can vary based on your individual needs, age, health, and the type of coverage you're looking for. Make sure to compare quotes and policies from multiple providers to find the most cost-effective option for you. Companies like PolicyMe are known for their affordability, streamlining the traditional insurance process with technology to reduce costs and pass those savings on to you. 

How do you choose a life insurance company to buy from? 

When choosing a life insurance company, start by evaluating their reliability and reputation. It’s also crucial to check the company’s financial stability to ensure they can fulfill long-term commitments like paying out claims.

Then you’ll want to consider the types of policies they offer. Look for a life insurance company with options tailored to your specific life stage and needs. Cost is another important factor; but don’t choose based solely on price. The cheapest option may not always provide the coverage you need.

Finally, assess the overall customer service experience. A company that’s responsive and helpful can make all the difference. 

What if my life insurance company goes out of business? 

If your life insurance company goes out of business, it's important not to panic. In Canada, there are protections in place to help policyholders in such situations. Your policy would typically be transferred to another insurance company by regulators who manage the liquidation and ensure that the policies continue with minimal disruption.

And the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Compensation Corporation provides a safety net for policyholders (also sometimes referred to as Assuris). They protect consumers by guaranteeing that life insurance benefits are paid up to certain limits if an insurer fails.
