Questions about term life insurance

Term life insurance covers you for a set period — usually 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 years. If you die during that period, your beneficiaries receive the insured amount, tax-free. It is the most affordable type of life insurance, ideal for covering temporary needs such as a mortgage or dependent children.

The right term matches the length of your financial obligations. Many people choose 20 or 25 years to cover the period while the children grow up and the mortgage gets paid off. A 30-year term makes sense if you are young with a long mortgage. Your advisor helps you match the term to your actual needs.

At the end of the term, you have several options: the policy can renew automatically (at a higher premium), be converted to permanent insurance without a new medical exam, or simply end if you no longer need it. Convertibility is an important advantage to check when choosing a policy.

No. With term life insurance, your premium is guaranteed and fixed for the entire length of the term you choose. A 30-year-old man who takes out a 20-year term will pay exactly the same amount at 30 as at 49. The premium only changes at renewal, after the term ends.

A 30-year-old non-smoking man can get $250,000 of 20-year term coverage for roughly $18 a month. The rate depends on your age, your health, the amount, the term and whether you smoke. Because the gaps between companies are significant, comparing can save you hundreds of dollars a year.

Yes. Most term policies include a conversion option. It lets you convert your term insurance to permanent insurance without taking another medical exam, even if your health has declined. It is valuable security for the future.

Guide to term life insurance in Quebec

Term life insurance is by far the most popular type of life insurance in Quebec, and for good reason: it offers the most protection for the lowest price. The principle is simple — you choose an amount and a length of time (the term), and you are covered for that period. If a death occurs during the term, your loved ones receive the coverage amount, tax-free.

Why is term life insurance so affordable?

Unlike permanent insurance, term insurance has no cash value and no savings component. You pay only for pure protection, which explains its lower cost. It is the ideal tool for covering a specific period of your life: the mortgage years, the time your children depend on you, or the length of a business loan.
