Protect your home and everyone in it

For many Canadians, protecting the financial investment of their home is a top priority. If you’ve purchased a home, you may already have mortgage life insurance. 

But while mortgage life insurance provides coverage for your mortgage balance, term life insurance can give you the same protection and then some. 

Here’s why term life insurance is the smarter choice.

Unlike mortgage insurance, term life insurance provides coverage that doesn’t decrease with your mortgage balance. 

With a flexible lump-sum payout, your loved ones can use the funds to cover any financial obligations, not just a mortgage balance. 

Your term life policy is portable, meaning your coverage stays with you even if you move or change mortgage lenders.

Built for every budget

With monthly rates lower than the cost of a night of takeout for the family, term life insurance is an affordable way to protect the ones you love most. And by locking in rates while you’re younger and healthier, you can enjoy these low premiums for years to come.

Don't guess. Find out how affordable term life insurance can be for you.

Already have workplace benefits?

If you have some life insurance coverage from your employer, you’re off to a great start. But it may not be enough to cover your dependents and other financial responsibilities.

Having an individual term life policy puts you in the driver’s seat. It protects you from the risk of losing coverage during an unexpected layoff, and moves with you when you change jobs to build your career.

  • Employer-provided benefits only stay with you as long as you work there.
  • Coverage typically ends when you change jobs, leaving you and your family without protection.
  • You risk the need to purchase a policy at a later date and at a higher cost.
  • Everyone's needs are different, 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 customizable to your needs.
  • If supplemental life insurance is available from your workplace, it often comes with coverage limitations.

Term life insurance provides your loved ones with a financial safety net in case the worst were to happen to you. It provides flexible protection at affordable rates for a limited period, making it a popular choice for many Canadians. 

If you pass away within the specified timeframe, your beneficiaries will receive a tax-free, lump-sum payout that can be used to cover any financial needs, including lost income, daily living expenses, outstanding debt, or funeral arrangements.

If you’re younger and in good health, medical follow-up is typically not needed when applying for term life insurance. Your answers to the health questionnaire will determine if extra information is required. If you’re asked to complete any medical testing, don’t panic. It sounds scary and stressful, but the process is a lot simpler than most people think. 

With Blue Cross Life, our team of expert advisors will guide you through each step of the way. You won’t need a family physician or to find your own doctor or walk-in clinic. Once the necessary assessments are complete, your application will be finalized.

Great question! Term life insurance works the same way no matter your age. But your life will probably look different as you move into the next chapter of your life. You may have elderly parents to care for, your dependent children may move out, and your income level may change. 

As you get older, you might benefit from different coverage amounts or term lengths. You can layer on an additional term life policy if the need arises, or reduce your coverage as your financial responsibilities change. Term life insurance gives you flexible, affordable protection you can depend on and keeps pace with you as life evolves.

Owning a home and having financial dependents (like kids or aging parents) are only a few of the reasons to buy life insurance. Life insurance is a financial tool that protects the life you’ve built and all that’s still to come, no matter what that looks like. The payout can cover any outstanding debts, living expenses, and financial obligations. You’ll breathe easier knowing you won’t leave your loved ones with a financial burden if you’re no longer around.

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

The only way to know exactly what your monthly premiums could be is to get a life insurance quote. With Blue Cross Life, you can get a free, no-obligation quote online in just a few minutes.
