Term Life Insurance

What is term life insurance?

Term life insurance is affordable, easy-to-understand coverage that gives you flexible protection.

Your insurance costs will remain the same for a specific period of time (the “term”), until it renews for another term. If you die while the policy is in effect, a tax-free payment will go to the person or people you name (your “beneficiaries”). And with most term policies, you can also convert your coverage to permanent insurance regardless of any changes to your health, occupation or lifestyle. Almost all insurance company in Canada has Term Life Insurance and the Term availability varies company to company. Most company has Term 10 and Term 20. But few company has Term 30 and very fewer company has Term 100, and one company has a Pick A Term product that the client choose a term period from 1 to 40. Also some company has Term 5, 15, 25, 35, 65, 75 and so on. In essence, the shorter the term the cheaper it is, and longer the Term the expensive it gets.
