Term life insurance

Coverage built around a defined time horizon.

Understand the basic structure, the questions to ask at renewal, and why a low introductory price should never be the only comparison point.

What term life generally means

Term life insurance is designed to provide death-benefit coverage for a stated period, subject to the policy contract. Common structures may use multi-year terms, but available products vary by insurer and province.

Why people consider it

A defined term can align with needs that may reduce over time, such as a mortgage, income replacement during working years, or education-related obligations.

Questions to ask

  • Is the premium level for the full term?
  • What happens at renewal?
  • Is there a maximum renewal age?
  • Can the policy be converted to another form of coverage, and under what conditions?
  • What underwriting information is required?
  • What exclusions and limitations apply?
