Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

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.

I sent an email to Canada Life on SEPT 13, asking about authorization for a 200 day supply of prescriptions for travel purposes. As of Sept 29, I have not received a response from Canada Life.
So I tried to call. After 1 hr 45 minutes on hold, the recording came back to say they cannot respond to me, so please leave a message which they will respond to in 2 business days. This is completely unacceptable.

i was supposed to have the health insurance since jully 1st. We try to call multiple times and we wait sometimes for an hour and we never reach someone!
I sent an email in june and they respond in september...
Its the worst insurance compagny i have experience in years.
The canadian armed forces made a big mistake by changing Sunlife for Canada Life.

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.

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.

Be careful when they say they will cover something. Because they won't. They will ask you for so much information without explanation of what they actually need to avoid paying for them. It's been 6 months. I've talked to 7 agents. They snail mail everything. Are disorganized with claims and emails. You can't talk to the person who is actually doing the claim and demanding information. Honestly no insurance is better then this company.
