For those who experienced one of the life events listed below in the past 31 days, medical questions will be waived for total amounts up to the Non-Evidence Limit2:

  • death of a Dependent

Applications must be submitted within 31 days of the Life Event occurring.

1. Please note: in Quebec, if you designate your spouse as a beneficiary, they’re considered an irrevocable beneficiary (unless you’ve specifically requested that they be considered revocable). Making changes to an irrevocable beneficiary designation (either to remove their name as beneficiary or to change the allocation percentage) requires the written consent of the named irrevocable beneficiary.

2. The Non-Evidence Limit is the amount of coverage you can purchase without answering any medical questions. When you use the quote tool, you’ll be told what that amount is for your group.
