Canada Life Life Insurance Reviews

This company is set up to intentionally be hostile, but companies sign on to them because the costs seem lower. Wait times are long or hostile on purpose this is done to reject claims or push the pay dates and save money. Unfortunately, companies get suckered into going with them due to lower costs, but then employees who deal with them are abused.

Hi,
I submitted a claim on 11th Feb 2022. Sent 4 reminder emails till today, finally they responded as declined, no reason and bizarre communication why it is declined not mentioned in the email, if we call after 30 minutes of waiting in the line they do not care and transfers from one person to another.
Please improve the response time via phone.
Please improve the web interface, it's hard to find why it is declined.
I strongly recommend not to buy this insurance. Waste of time, there is no importance to customer's time.

Good luck talking to a representative of Canada Life, called about 5 different days at various times and after 1-2+ hours I had to hang up, my cell phone battery would need recharging. I tried calling the federal ombudsman, but even they weren’t answering. Does anyone remember the days when a body either answered after a few rings or you got a busy signal? NOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!

I have been trying to get through to actually speak to a customer service agent.
I have been disconnected twice. I have also tried the call back function I now have been on hold for over an hour. Bigger is definitely not better!!! Is there anywhere we can go?

Don't even try to phone them. Unbelievable wait time... gave up.
With non-service like this, think again about buying life insurance with them.

3.5 hours and then got a message "Technical Difficulties try back later"... On hold, second try 2.5 hours now.........

Got denied right away because of my mental health history. Pretty sick in my opinion that they will discriminate against disabilities. Extremely disappointing and frustrating and not impressed at all!!!!

Crooks. Terrible/non-existent customer service, the only number listed to contact (no email) and you only get through two levels of call tree before it restricts/prevents you from going further or speaking with someone. This company finds any way to keep your moment that forces you to give up or contact media.

It's a lazy bunch of people running the company. I went ahead with the insurance provider but was very disappointed and frustrated. They would respond for weeks to fix errors in the documents they sent, I had to call and email them multiple times to get the receipt to submit my expenses but it's been a week and a half and I have not heard from anyone.
I can only imagine what happens once you are using the insurance, I'm going ahead and cancelling the insurance.

With a wait of more than 2-3 hours to get to any representative, if you are lucky.
No reply to emails or escalations.
They have no accountability.
The phone app crashes every now and again and claims are never handled on time and rejected more than accepted.
This company is more like a scam than legit.
At least have customer support where a reasonable wait time is there.
