This is not a problem with Canada Life, this is a Canadian Tire issue.
Canadian Tire goes to an insurer and says we want to sell life insurance, so Canada Life gives them a product that they can sell that is profitable for Canadian Tire (make no mistake, Canadian Tire is selling it to make money, not to help people).
All companies offering insurance on the side that aren't actual insurance companies (IE: MasterCard, VISA, Sears, insurance from the banks, etc) are all designed roughly in the same manor and they are not regulated so they can make whatever rules they want.
This is no different than any other 'group' or term insurance that you buy. It will increase in price and will eventually cancel.
NEVER buy insurance of any kind from someone that isn't a linscensed agent becuase chances are it is not the best on the market and the person is very uninformed about the actual product.
