You’ve got ambitions.
We’ve got your back.

Financial security isn’t just for older folks. Life insurance is a safety net for people building a future for themselves. Whether you’re busy chasing career goals, traveling the world, or starting a family, Blue Cross Life makes protecting your biggest dreams simple, so you can focus on what’s next.

Think you’re too young for life insurance? Think again

Buying life insurance tends to get filed under “I’ll get to it later.” But later comes sooner than you think. Term life insurance takes care of the what-ifs, so you can live on your own terms, today.

Start young and stay ahead

Life insurance doesn’t just protect people with kids and houses. It gives you peace of mind, even when you don’t have your whole life mapped out.

Leave behind memories, not burdens

The journey is full of curveballs. Breathe easier knowing that your loved ones won’t be left holding the financial bag if the unthinkable happens.

The ultimate act of self-care

Living under a financial fog really takes a toll. Your mental health starts with feeling secure, and term life insurance is one big step towards a calmer mind.

Already have workplace benefits?

You might already have some life insurance coverage from your employer, and that’s a great start. But for most people, it may not be enough.

Having an individual policy puts you in the driver’s seat. Term life insurance stays with you from job to job or gig to gig—it’s reliable protection that moves when you do.

  • Employer-provided benefits only stay with you as long as you work there.
  • Coverage typically ends when you change jobs, leaving you without protection.
  • You risk the need to purchase a policy at a later date and at a higher cost.
  • Everyone's situation is unique, but Canadian financial experts recommend 7-10 times your annual salary in life insurance coverage as a starting point.
  • Most workplace benefits cover much less than that: often just 1-2 times your annual salary.
  • Workplace benefits are typically group plans, which aren't personalized for your needs.
  • If supplemental life insurance is available from your workplace, it often comes with coverage limitations.

Wallet-friendly premiums

What if term life insurance could cost you less per month than that new workout class or weekend brunch with friends? Plus, locking in your rates when you’re young and healthy just makes sense.

Term life insurance provides financial security for your loved ones if you pass away within a specific timeframe (the “term.”) It offers flexible protection at affordable rates for a limited period, making it a popular choice for many Canadians.

Planning for the future with term life insurance is a smart decision if you have dependents or significant financial obligations such as a mortgage. Your loved ones will receive a tax-free, lump-sum payout that can be used to cover lost income, daily living expenses, outstanding debts, or funeral arrangements.

Term life insurance differs from whole life insurance because it is only active for a set term, and typically has a lower monthly rate as a result.

Just like car insurance, term life insurance is one of those things you hope you never need! If you don’t pass away during your term, your coverage will end when your policy ends. At that time, you can reevaluate your needs and purchase a new policy, or choose to go without coverage.  

With Blue Cross Life, your policy will automatically renew on a yearly basis at the end of your initial term. You can enjoy gap-free coverage until the age of 85, unless you choose to cancel sooner.

Great question! Term life insurance works the same way no matter your age. But your life will probably look different as you move into future decades. You might have a bigger family, a larger mortgage, or take on caring for aging parents.

You may decide that you want more coverage as your financial responsibilities increase, and you can do that easily by layering on an additional term life policy when the need arises. With affordable rates and flexible term lengths, term life insurance gives you the protection you need today and keeps pace with you as life changes.

Major life events, like having kids or buying a home, are some of the most common reasons people choose to buy life insurance. But the idea that life insurance isn’t something you need before you have those major responsibilities is a myth.  

Getting coverage early means you can work towards your life goals without financial risks hanging over your head. It allows you to protect the life you’re building, including all your future plans and milestones, at a lower rate while you’re young and healthy. And you can rest assured that you won’t burden your loved ones financially if the worst were to happen.

Yes, life insurance rates tend to rise with age, along with the increased risk of health-related issues. But term life insurance can be more affordable than you think, even as you get older.
