Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

Useless company. No way to contact them. They ignore e mails and hang up on calls. ALWAYS have higher than normal call volumes meaning long waits. Phone battery dies before wait time is up. Can not complain about customer service unless you talk to an agent. Cant talk to an agent because they have no customer service agents to talk to. Do not process claims in reasonable timeframe if at all. The most useless company on earth and I am being generous in my description of their service.

Waited from 8:30am to 1:22pm on the phone to talk to someone just for an automatic message that say they can’t take the call and to try again later. I will need therapy after this lol and cheap as they are they won’t actually cover 80% because their estimate cost for any kind of services is ridiculously low. Canada life is by far the worst company i have ever dealt with.

Waiting time to talk to someone is more than 45min and this is really frustrating.

Processing time for any clime is very long??

I waited four hours on the phone and at the end, they hung up on me. Being the tenacious person that I am, I am not giving up. I suffer from ehlers danlos. I need physical therapy and I have to discontinue till I can reach them and deal with coverage.
This is very stressful. I am in disbelief at how difficult this is.

My claims are not being processed correctly, have tried contacting them for help. On hold for over an hour today and then the call disconnected because no one was available to answer the phone. Also sent messages through e-mail and only got generic FAQ responses.

Trying to get a response from this company is like pulling teeth and just as painful.
Nobody answers the phone, and nobody answers their emails.

What a joke of a company.

Canada Life is the worst example of a competent company that I can imagine. Phone service - almost non existent. They keep you on line for a very long time, then they hang up. I have never been able to talk to an agent.

I am a retired public servant and I have been trying unsuccessfully for weeks to reach them and every time I am put on hold forever and I eventually give up. This is totally unacceptable with crappy service. This needs to be fixed ASAP.

I have been trying unsuccessfully for months to reach them. Every time I am put on hold for over an hour or cut off because no representatives are available. This is extremely unacceptable and poor service. (zero stars). The officials who approved the decision to transfer the responsibility of the Public Service Health Care Plan to Canada Life displayed total incompetence and irresponsibility.

They could not handle automatically merging my PSHCP and dental accounts automatically because of slight differences between my two accounts.

Why didn't they test the merging before the switchover? They would have found that thousands of accounts would not be successfully merged.

The causes of the failed merges are not complex or varied. Merging could easily be automated. Instead, they are forcing employees to call in and get their accounts merged manually.

Once you sit on hold for 60 minutes or more, they submit an internal form that will lead to your plans being merged within two weeks or longer.
