Canada life

by Rox on Dec 4, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

They have my insurance saved as secondary and can’t figure out how to update it. I paid out of pocket for an appt.

My secondary won’t pay because (rightfully) Canada Life is supposed to be primary.

Wait times on the phone are ridiculous.

the worst insurance ever

by Don on Nov 25, 2023

Talking a very long time to get a claim, when there is a problem also takes a long time to support. The support is not 24 hours, no weekend and only support to the plan member (no family member) this even make the issue difficult to resolve. Also, the time zone is different making it even more difficult. If there was zero stars, I would give it zero stars.
The system is not consistent. This is the worst ever insurance system and support. Only cheap companies are using this cheap insurance.

Useless customer service

Waited for 1 hour and 25 min and was connected to an idiot rep who couldn't provide any answer and she tried to connect me with another department and dropped the call.

They should change their name to Canada death, as I don't see how can it be any life in it

Peachy, just peachy.

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.

overall, all interactions are very poor at best.

I gave up on calling in because the service is equal to dealing with a child who likes to disagree. Tried contacting them through the website Contact Us.
1) An inquiry was put in six weeks ago, then four weeks ago and finally three weeks ago for the same reason. Still haven't heard back.
2) A claim was put in over three weeks ago for a substantial amount and it is still pending with no explanations or reasons. I must be made of money.
3) A different inquiry was put in recently for a different item to see if we have coverage. Still nothing.

It seems as though they are very understaffed or the staff, they do have, are incompetent. It could very well be both. Regardless of the reasons, I would never choose them over our previous provider. I would have given them all zero stars but that was not an option. I'll call a duct cleaning company to see if they offer a better service.

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

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!!!

Not sure if you can qualify for life insurance with existing health pre-conditions? Let us to help you with a no medical life insurance quote, meaning that you do not need to pass a medical exam to qualify for a life insurance policy.

Wow. Noooo customer service or even contact capacity

It has been one month and I can't get through, or talk to anyone or get my claims processed. They denied my claim saying it was before the date of insurance. I can't file a claim because they say I have to file with my secondary insurance first. I don't have a secondary insurance. Omg 😱

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.

Customer service very rude and website is a mess

by Rayan Fadhlaoui on Oct 24, 2023

I called the customer service multiple times, and they are always rude, not wanting to help. They've hung up on me multiple times, pretending they don't hear me (the first time someone told me that). Additionally, the website is a mess; you constantly get lost. When you click on a submission detail, it redirects you to nowhere.
