A CLEARER WAY TO COMPARE

What to look at before choosing

Plans can differ in important ways. Read the policy wording, confirm that you meet the eligibility requirements, and ask questions about terms that affect your situation.

  • Compare term and permanent life coverage, including whole and universal life
  • Review critical illness coverage separately and check its policy-defined benefit triggers
  • Check premiums, coverage period, exclusions, renewability, and any guaranteed or non-guaranteed values

A PRACTICAL BUYER CHECKLIST

Questions to compare before choosing life coverage

Start with the people and financial obligations you want to protect. Then compare the policy details and ask for current product documents before you decide.

01

Purpose and time horizon: identify who may rely on the coverage and how long the need could last.

02

Coverage type: compare term, whole life, universal life, and critical illness as distinct products with different policy terms.

03

Premiums and policy duration: check how much is payable, for how long, and whether premiums can change under the contract.

04

Eligibility and application: review underwriting questions and answer them completely and accurately.

05

Policy features: check exclusions, renewability, conversion options, and any guaranteed versus non-guaranteed values in writing.

06

Issuer and advice: ask who issues the contract and verify the advisor's authorization for your province before proceeding.
