Depending on the Canadian life insurance companies and the type of product or policy you are interested in, the difference in rates in Canada can be surprisingly wide.
Even when all factors are considered equal, including health class ratings, some term and whole life rates can still be as much as double the same product offered by a different Canadian insurance carrier.
In fact, many Canadians with existing whole life or term life policies from top rated companies in Canada are simply paying too much. Most think they have a cheap rate but they could be doing better.
For instance, a high percentage of Canadians actually qualify for a better health class rating than the one they have under their current policy. A better health class rating can dramatically affect rates and whole life insurance rates in some policies.
In fact, another area where many Canadians are simply paying too much is when they purchase mortgage coverage from their lender. Lender mortgage rates in Canada are not always as competitively priced so if you have your mortgage insurance through your lender contact an IDC broker/ agent to learn how you could save.

Cheap Term Life Insurance Rates for Seniors
Another myth is that only the young can get affordable rates -not so. Guaranteed permanent life insurance rates can be a lot higher for seniors because of the inherent assumption that seniors are not healthy but it is still possible to find low-cost policies.
In fact, if you are a senior and you are in reasonably good health, term life insurance rates can be a lot less because it is based on your health. This could mean significant savings for you!
