Term Life Insurance in Canada
Affordable, straightforward coverage for a set period. Term insurance is the most popular type of life insurance in Canada, and for good reason. It does exactly what it says on the tin.


What Is Term Life Insurance?
Term life insurance covers you for a specific period, typically 10, 20, or 30 years. If you pass away during that term, your beneficiaries receive the death benefit. If you outlive the term, the coverage ends (though many policies let you renew or convert).
Think of it like renting protection for the years when you need it most. It's especially popular with young families, homeowners, and anyone who wants solid coverage without a hefty price tag.
10-Year Term
Short-term needs. Good for covering a specific debt or obligation.
20-Year Term
The sweet spot. Covers most mortgages and child-rearing years.
30-Year Term
Maximum coverage period. Great for young buyers locking in low rates.
Why Choose Term Insurance?
Most Affordable Option
Term insurance gives you the most coverage per dollar. It's significantly cheaper than whole life, which means more protection for less.
Simple to Understand
Pay premiums, get covered for a set period. No cash value, no investment components, no confusing fine print.
Renewable & Convertible
Many term policies let you renew at the end of the term or convert to permanent coverage without a new medical exam.
Flexible Coverage Amounts
Choose from $100,000 to over $1,000,000 in coverage. Match it to your mortgage, income, or family's needs.
Types of Term Insurance
Level Term
Your premiums and death benefit stay the same throughout the entire term. Predictable and stable.
Renewable Term
Automatically renews at the end of the term, though premiums increase with age. No new medical exam needed.
Convertible Term
Convert your term policy to a permanent whole life policy without additional underwriting. Future-proof coverage.
