Frequently asked questions
Life insurance
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance provides coverage for a set number of years and pays a benefit if you pass away during that term.
How much term life coverage do I need?
A common starting point is enough to replace your income and cover major debts, but the right amount depends on your family and goals. CoverMarket helps you compare options so you can decide.
Do I need a medical exam for term life?
Many applications are approved with just a few health questions. A short medical may be requested for higher coverage amounts or certain health histories.
Critical illness
What is critical illness insurance?
Critical illness insurance pays a tax-free lump sum if you are diagnosed with a covered condition such as cancer, heart attack, or stroke. You can use the money for anything — treatment, bills, or time off work.
Which conditions does critical illness cover?
Comprehensive plans cover up to 44 conditions, including cancer, heart attack, stroke, multiple sclerosis, and major organ transplant. The exact list and definitions are set out in your policy.
How is critical illness different from life insurance?
Life insurance pays your beneficiaries after you die; critical illness pays you a lump sum while you are living, after a covered diagnosis. Many people hold both.
Health & Dental
What does a health and dental plan cover?
Plans typically help with prescriptions, dental care, vision, and paramedical services like physiotherapy and mental health support — the everyday costs your provincial plan does not fully cover.
Who needs health & dental insurance?
It is most useful for people without workplace benefits — the self-employed, contractors, retirees, and families topping up a partial plan — who pay for prescriptions, dental, or vision care out of pocket.
How do I claim health & dental expenses?
You pay the provider and submit a claim online, or the provider bills us directly where that is supported. Each category has a yearly limit you can check before you book care.
Home & Auto
Can I bundle home and auto insurance?
Yes. Many insurers offer a discount when you cover your home and vehicles together. CoverMarket lets you compare bundled quotes from several insurers at once.
How much can I save by bundling home and auto?
Insurers commonly offer a multi-policy discount when your home and auto are with them together. The exact savings depend on the insurer, your property, and your driving history.
What does home & auto insurance cover?
Home policies cover the building, your belongings, and personal liability, with condo and tenant options. Auto policies cover mandatory liability plus optional collision and comprehensive protection.
Getting started
How fast can I get a quote?
Most people see sample prices in just a few minutes. Answer a few questions online and compare real options right away — no phone call required to get started.
Does it cost anything to compare on CoverMarket?
No. Comparing coverage and seeing sample prices on CoverMarket is free. You only pay a premium once you choose a policy and apply.
Do I need to give my email to see prices?
No. You can see sample prices without giving an email address, a phone number, or a credit card. You only share contact details if you choose to apply.
Is the quote a real price?
The prices you see are personalized estimates based on the details you enter. Your final premium is confirmed when you apply and the insurer reviews your application, but the estimate is designed to be close to what you would pay.
