Canada Life Financial Corporation Omdömen 88

Les représentants du service à la clientèle sont désagréables. De plus, le traitement des demandes de règlement est interminable. Puis ils couvrent un médicament pendant des années et pouf! tout d'un coup, il le refuse.

made me jump through hoops just trying to get a quote, would not want to even imagine, and feel bad for any of these customers living the nightmare, trying to make a claim with them.

Canada life is a joke. I feel like I'm in the movie groundhog day. Over and over and over again with denials, multiple half hour waits in qeues,lost paperwork and transfer from agent to agent to agent that can't process anything. Great West was fabulous these people are careless and could care less

I would actually give zero stars! Canada Life is terrible with timelines working on any claims. When you call, you get no help in resolving any issues, I am not sure how and why they are so different and difficult from any other Benefit company. What takes SunLife 2 days takes Canada Life a minimum of 2 weeks. Really sad actually and very frustrating to deal with them. I truly hope that changes one day!

They deserve 0 stars. Incompetent, no consistency in the information from the agents. They are rude, talk over you and refuse to provide the info on filing a complaint re: poor services. Please stay away, they do everything not to pay you.

We’re with local 183 and they have Canada life and they suck. They take 5-10 days to process claims ridiculous and took away 100’s of peoples access to medicinal marijuana.
They want people to take pharmaceuticals now before they approve medicinal cannabis even though they’ve approved people for the last few years.
I thought the point of medicinal cannabis was to stay away from poison pharmaceuticals.
Corrupt company run by the corrupt pharmaceutical companies.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience submitting a claim through Canada Life benefits, which I pay for through my employer.

After filing my initial claim, I was asked to provide additional documentation. I promptly submitted everything requested and received confirmation that my documents had been received and would be reviewed. However, after an entire month passed with no follow-up or update, I had to reach out again myself.

I resubmitted my request and once again received confirmation that someone would review my claim and respond. Despite this, I still received no communication or resolution.

In an effort to get clarity, I attempted to use the live chat feature. After being greeted by an agent, I was left waiting for over 12 minutes without any response before ultimately closing the chat due to lack of support.

At this point, the lack of communication, follow-through, and basic customer service is unacceptable—especially for a service that I actively pay into. There appears to be no accountability or reliable support system in place to assist clients with their claims.

I would appreciate a prompt review of this situation and a clear explanation as to why there has been such a significant delay and lack of response.

I would rate them lower if I could. I started a mortgage disability claim on December 1st 2025. I pay a heavy premium for this insurance. As I live on Vancouver Island, I have no family doctor. I made the claim after my surgery for cancer and seeing that I would have treatments that would last over a year. There are "policies" in place that require going back in my medical history to a workplace accident years ago. I notified them that the clinic that i attended would not reply to the inquiries as it is not in their policy to do so. Here I am 4 months later, still no further ahead. I was told to go to the clinic myself and ask for the information they need. I am currently taking chemotherapy and my energy levels are sporadic at best. It doesn't seem to matter that I am claiming due to my current condition. They want unrelated info because of their " policies." I will be giving up and cancelling my policy with them as they are not customer focused, and seem to be against helping those in need. And I am adding my review to warn others off as there is no help here. I will be bankrupt before I get help, as I warned them I would. Terrible customer service.

Dont waste your money paying into anything through canada life. They will deny your claims despite having loads of evidence and your Dr backing you. You also dont need any education in any healthcare field to assess these claims, just insurance experience. I have more education in this than they do. Top tier scam.

Warning: Avoid Scotiabank’s mortgage job loss insurance. After paying for coverage, I lost my job in April 2025 and spent an entire month jumping through hoops because they lack a basic online claims portal. They drip-feed requests for forms, wait a week to respond, and ignore secure messages. In the end, they denied my claim because the job loss occurred within 90 days of signing. They are happy to take your money, but when you actually need the protection you paid for, they hide behind fine-print exclusions and a snail-paced process. Extremely disappointed. (Also I am aware I'm posting this in 2026 since I had money to pay the mortgage up until recently and decided to file a claim)

Like an American healthcare company, they'll do anything to get out of a claim. Purposely poor service, they hope you'll expire so they can pay their shareholders a bonus.

Pay extra for a competitor

Claims process is poor. Requested information should be detailed and clearer and not implied.

Not good zero service. Zero respect

Everything went wrong. The entire team is totally incompetent. I asked to escalate the situation, they did not, and would not and it was a sizeable investment, to be playing with incompetent no minds. They had moved my investment to some very very shady organization, without notifying me. When I looked up this company, the scandals and lawsuits were incredible. I was told my investment was no longer there etc etc. NEVER NEVER Deal with Canada LIFE.
They all work from home, so you are not allowed to speak to the same person... It took me 15 months to resolve what is usually about, an hour or two transfer/transaction.
They are all incompetent, and spend hours and hours of your time , jerking you back and forth, and sitting on hold, and verifying yourself 100 times, as you are always dealing with different people. guess they can't afford cel phones.
I hated to have to give them one star. Can we not have and F rating or a pile of garbage rating.
Warn the world about these people.

Worst experience. Immense delay in application process and too long to get to customer care on call. Advisors are of no help. I don’t suggest this to anyone.

If I could give less than 1 star I would. Totally incompetent Canadian healthcare provider. They are not fit to use the word "Canada" in their title. It should say "third world" instead. My husband had a workplace injury and they will not even direct bill the company he is using for treatment. Totally disgusting outsourced company. NO one even speaks proper English!

no any response, very bad service

My husband set up insurance through 'Canada Life" on his line of credit to ensure if anything was ever to happen that I would not be held responsible to pay it off. My husband passed away 1 year ago Jan 6 2025 from a heart attack. I am left having to make monthly payments because this company told me that unless they have proof that my husband any ongoing issues with his health when he signed there papers, that it was void. If my husband had have been told about this before signing there contract, I know for a fact he would never had signed it in the first place!

Problems with dry eyes for the past 6 months. Had to go to the optometrist urgently 2 times and not a single visit was covered. Visits weren't a big amount (75$ each).
Joke of a company but i'm stuck with them through my employer.
0/10 would not recommend.

Been waiting for my disability for about 2 month now with no source of income. They take days to answer sometimes, and when they do they always need some sort of extra information. I know insurance companies are usually pretty bad for this but canada life has to be by far the worst insurance experience i have ever had.
