Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

Worst insurance company, very slow to respond to claims, and even if you already filled out the information still writes to ask you the same information that you already filled out.

Wait time for claim is insane. Was on hold for 45 min just to be hung up on.

My organization recently switched to Canada Life for insurance, and I’ve had a highly frustrating experience:

1. I called with an urgent matter and endured a 60-minute wait, only to be abruptly disconnected.
2. I tried their chat service, waited for over an hour, and was disconnected without speaking to anyone.
3. Even my pharmacist encountered the same issue.
4. I sent three emails, waited for over 15 days, and received no response – it’s as if nobody’s there.
5. In desperation, I contacted the doctors’ line, waited for 45 minutes, explained my situation, but was promised a call back that never happened.
6. Feeling even more desperate, I submitted a claim-like request, attached a PDF letter detailing everything, and requested a response to my email. I’ve been waiting for 5 days and counting.
7. In all my 60 years, I’ve never experienced such disastrous and stressful service.
8. I intend to file complaints with my organization and Canada Life, advocating for improvements in these paid services for both myself and others.

Waited over an hour. Nobody ever responded.
I already miss my last Insurance provider. They said we will save money and already with my prescription drugs I am already paying more. What a scam.

This is what Canada Life does:

1. Takes several months to process your claims and always find the ways to reduce the compensation amount.
2. When you call them, even though they say the waiting time is from 50 to 60 minutes (!) they keep you on hold from 2 to 3 HOURS!
3. When you identify the issue, they tell you that they will escalate it and that an agent or a supervisor will call you within next 3 business days. However, NO ONE EVER CALLS YOU. And when you call them again and wait on hold for 3 hours just to find out that NOTHING has been escalated and NO ONE was supposed to call you.
4. They promise you that your claim will be finalized "by the end of the week". However, it takes MONTHS instead for the claims to be finalized.
5. In the rare times when they call you, they don't even bother leaving you a voice message or sending you an email, making you guess what was the reason for their call.

Horrible horrible people to deal with called over 20x finally goе ahold of someone and told they would get back to me in the next two weeks about my claim!!!! It’s already been a month!!! They’re rude and useless! I hate this company!

It is literrally impossible to speak with someone. They keep denying claims saying that I need to provide my kids proof of school attendence which I provide every single claim...

The wait time sometimes is more than an hour. the process of payments are long and they process the claims in different category and and they don' let you, so on the 2nd claim you have to go to same process of calling them.
They have broken links on the website which they don't even know. Very disappointed with this company

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.

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

Processing time for any clime is very long??
