Hard to claim

1 out of 5 stars

Money was not transferred even it has been processed a month ago. Very difficult to reach. No answer or you have to wait 45 mins to 1 hour.

Easier for them to just cut the line

So even customers who are willing to wait for an hour to have a representative speak to them are not good enough. It is easier for Canada Life to just cut the line and get rid of the headache of another paying customer inquiring about their insurance.

Horrrible Customer Service

by Jim on Aug 24, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

I bought my policy from London Life and now became Canada Life. I tried to inquire about info on my own policy. I was put on hold for a very long time and was finally able to speak with someone. Then the phone cut off. I called back and put on hold for a long time again. The customer service representation had really bad attitudes. It is just very unprofessional.

Did you know that if you are a 30-year old male, a term life insurance policy for 20 years with coverage of $200,000 will cost you around $19/month? Getting your term life insurance quote today will allow you to benefit from a great rate.

Canada Life is a scam

Absolute worst company. First, no phone number to call directly. Second, form upload has multiple portals without explicit direction as to which is for what. Third, the person who accepted my claim documents from one of the portals goes on a 3 week vacation. That person says they received my form and is processing it. I get an email confirmation from Canada Life confirming that my document was recieved. I think it was from the agent. Nope. That person gets back from vacation and says I am missing more information and forms. What!? Why didn't you or the process application list this? One of the forms was already part of my profile documents, but they don't care. Resubmit it. I do. Emails are received in multiple threads and each one is asking for more forms and information. Why? You don't need my spouse information as he is dead years ago. That's why is it listed as "widowed". What is wrong with you people? The phone cuts off and disconnects when I try to call direct. Two months goes by and I am still working on this. This is such a scam operation. Ponzi scheme? My work uses this sham of an operation and I wish I can opt out of their joke of services. Oh, and that time they changed their prescription policy without warning.

Worst insurance company

Waiting time over the phone is ridiculous, worst customer service ever - more than an hour on hold everytime, that's when the line doesn't cut.

Did you know that mortgage insurance is the same as life insurance but more expensive and offers less protection? By cancelling it and getting life insurance, you would typically save around 30%-40% for the same coverage.

Terrible Service

They do not appear to care about customer service (i have been on hold for a long time, every time i need to call, clearly they do not appreciate that I too have things to do with my time, if I email them a question, it can take a month to get a response from them) They also don't seem to care about mental health, their coverage for mental health is extremely limiting only allowing for a psychologist appointment and doesn't allow for certified cognitive behavioural therapy, this is an antiquated way to do things.

JUST DON'T

by Susan St.Croix on Oct 28, 2023

This is the absolute worst insurance company I have ever had to deal with. I've spent hours and hours on hold (when I can even get them to put my call in the que.) I asked what they would cover and they only said what they wouldn't cover. They sent an email saying they want more information and to check my account. I check my account and they want me to call. I'm wasting my life on hold with this of a unprepared, unprofessional, uncooperative, uninformed, useless company. If you have a choice, just say NO. I want to give 0 stars!!!

Wait Time... Waste Time

by SD on Oct 27, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Terrible wait times to get connected to an agent. No call back option when you can receive a call once an available agent is ready. I waited 2 hours... TWO hours to get connected. For a big company, this is absolutely unacceptable. Phone call and claims take forever to process. I would not recommend this insurance company at all. Come on, Canada Life! Customers don't have enough time in the day, stop wasting ours!!!

Thinking of getting a life insurance quote from an insurance agent? They work for one insurance company and can only sell the products of that company. That may not result in the best rate for you. Our insurance brokers compare life insurance quotes across 20+ Canadian insurers for you.
