Getting a Life Insurance
Hi all,
We went to see a financial advisor today discussing our financial and long term needs. One that we consider getting is Term Insurance. On the application ask about our SIN. As I forgot to ask him, I would like to ask you guys if it is a mandatory requirement if you apply for an insurance? Thanks. |

Be careful who you give out your SIN to. I rarely give it out.

Re: Getting a Life Insurance
Thanks for all your replies. I've emailed the financial advisor and replied that if not born in Canada I need to provide my SIN# or PR card. I am not happy to give our SIN# but we don't have a PR card either as we are on a TWP. Will that be a reason to decline our application? Or should we provide our a copy of our TWP instead? :confused: many thanks.

Don't forget your employer provides group life insurance as your
benefit.Check with HR about how much is the pay out to your beneficiary. That might help you and your spouse decide how much coverage is needed for your family's needs.By the way how is your new job? Yoong |

Group life is typically twice income: for a family with a mortgage, car loans, other debts and depending on two incomes to bring up their kids, that is not enough.

Is it? Mine's 3.5 times annual income. I've no idea what's typical.

Re: Getting a Life Insurance
I am on the look out for a decent pair of clogs :D
Anyway seeing we are on about insurance, I have had the same insurance broker for over 20 years he has been fantastic but now that I am looking at immigration he has come up with the idea that a very cheap policy that will (on me hanging up my hat and slipping off me old clogs) that will give a small lump sum for the kids, this is a British based policy that covers me even when I am living abroad. Has anyone heard of such a thing? |
