Term Life Insurance

What is Term Life Insurance?

Term life insurance provides a tax-free, lump-sum death benefit if you pass away during the policy term — typically 10, 20, or 30 years. It's the most straightforward and affordable form of life insurance.

A healthy non-smoking 35-year-old can get $500,000 of coverage for as little as $25–$35/month. Rates are locked in for the full term.

Tax-free lump sum paid to your beneficiaries
Level premiums locked in for the full term
Terms from 10 to 40 years available
Convertible to permanent insurance without medical
Renewable at end of term (rates change)
Riders available: critical illness, disability waiver

FAQs

How much coverage do I need?

A common starting point is 10–12x your annual income, plus your mortgage balance. I'll do a proper needs analysis to give you a precise number.

What happens when the term ends?

You can renew (at higher rates based on your age), convert to permanent insurance without a medical exam, or let the policy lapse if you no longer need coverage.

Do I need a medical exam?

For coverage under ~$1M, many carriers offer no-medical or simplified issue products. For larger amounts, a medical exam typically gets you the best rate.

Which carrier is best?

It depends on your age, health, and coverage needs. iA Financial, Manulife, Sun Life, Canada Life, and RBC Insurance each have competitive niches. I run the numbers across all of them.
