Renew

With most traditional term insurance products, your policy would automatically renew for the same length of time as the original term. With Canada Life My Term™, your policy renews on a yearly basis at a lower initial rate than traditional term products. This allows you to keep your coverage longer if you need it.

Convert to a longer term

You may be able to convert to a term that is 10 or more years longer than your original term. Your premiums will increase gradually each year.

Convert to permanent insurance

Choose this option if you want insurance that lasts a lifetime and may grow in value over time, with tax advantages. Your premiums will be based on the coverage you choose.

This refers to named beneficiaries (people). Probate fees (estate administration tax), if any, may apply on money paid to an estate.
