So hard to reach

by Mike on Sep 13, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

They never reply to email and / or message
their claim system over their website is not working for days
their claim system over the mobile app is not working
waiting time to speak to someone is 60 minutes facing the hangup after long wait

Is this a real company or just a scam

Terrible Customer Service

by Colleen M on Sep 11, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

My husband is a retired RCMP member and his plan was switched from Sun Life to Canada Life this year. Trying to talk to anyone over there is a nightmare. We are trying to get our meds authorized for the months we spend in Arizona. My husband has been on hold three different times this morning, for an hour each time, he is now on his 4th hour. After an hour, they hang up. I have been on the "online chat" and have been waiting over two hours. Horrific customer service. Don't use this company if you have a choice. They deserve no stars but I couldn't leave a review without marking one

Awful service

by Angry customer on Jul 18, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Their claim system is awful and I cannot believe they didn't have any preparation for the federal government workers.
That is very frustrating.

Call waiting is 1.5 hours in general to talk to anyone for help and they are not helpful at all

New service provider for two weeks now and none will answer the phone or process a claim

by Public Service Employee held hostage by Canada Life. on Jul 15, 2023
1 out of 5 stars

Canada Life took over the public service healthcare plan on July 1 and since that time my pharmacy is unable to process a claim for me. Calls to Canada Life just leaf to a notice saying they’re too busy to answer the phone, the online chat function simply times out, and after submitting an email question I get a blanket response simply blaming the pharmacy for my specific problem (which the pharmacy has confirmed rice now is not accurate).

They have provided our dental coverage for years now, so it’s not like taking over the health component should be a surprise for Canada Life. There is no excuse for the inability to transition over, or at least have the people available to address the issues that arise.

If you are not forced to move to Canada Life, I certainly would not suggest doing so based on your own choice.

Little service overall.

As a pensioner. Have to wait weeks for return cash. Draining for us and very little reward for dental. Always 0% coverage or very little 5K for dental UT 150 for me? Now I am sick. 3-hour wait on the phone? The government controls these people.

Horrifically slow and terrible customer service

by MMKP on Oct 7, 2022
1 out of 5 stars

They take forever to process anything, their website is horrible, and their customer service is non-existent. I have called twice in the last week and been on hold for over an hour each time and then they just tell you they can't solve your problem and they will escalate and someone will call you in 2 business days but they never do. I genuinely don't understand what the point of their customer service team is if they have to escalate everything.

This must be the worst health insurance to talk to I have been on the phone for 1 hour and 10 minutes and still no one to talk to yet. It’s Ridiculous when you pay for health insurance but cannot talk to them
