Life insurance is about protection — not pressure.
Many Canadians delay getting life insurance because they believe it’s expensive. But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be. There are smart ways to protect your loved ones while keeping your premiums low — no matter your stage in life.
One of the most effective ways to save is to apply when you’re young and healthy. Age is a major factor in determining life insurance premiums. If you secure coverage earlier — before health issues arise — you can lock in a low rate for decades. Even waiting a few years can cost you significantly more over the life of your policy.
Term life insurance is also a great budget-friendly option. It gives you coverage for a specific period (usually 10, 20, or 30 years) and is often much more affordable than permanent insurance. For families raising kids, paying off a mortgage, or managing other financial commitments, term life offers strong protection at a price that works.
Another way to reduce your cost is to bundle services. Some insurance providers offer discounts when you combine life insurance with other policies, like mortgage insurance or disability coverage. It’s worth asking your advisor if you qualify for a multi-product discount.
Your lifestyle also plays a role in your premium. If you smoke, are overweight, or have unmanaged health conditions, you’ll likely pay more. But by making positive changes — such as quitting smoking, exercising more, or managing a chronic condition — you may qualify for a better rate. In some cases, providers may reassess your premium after a certain period of improvement.
Choosing a policy with level premiums can also help you save in the long term. With level premiums, your monthly payment remains the same throughout the term of the policy. That predictability makes it easier to plan and ensures your insurance cost won’t suddenly spike as you age.
Reviewing your policy regularly can also save you money. As your circumstances change — like paying off debts, retiring, or becoming an empty nester — your insurance needs might shrink. By adjusting your coverage, you could reduce your premium while keeping the right level of protection.
And finally, always work with a licensed insurance advisor. They can help you navigate the options, compare providers, and find the most cost-effective coverage for your goals. A professional’s guidance often leads to better choices and more savings over time.
