FAQ

Common questions

What is life insurance?

Life insurance provides a benefit to your chosen beneficiary if the insured person passes away while coverage is in force.

How much life insurance do I need?

The amount depends on income replacement needs, debts, mortgage balance, children, education goals, final expenses, and existing savings or coverage.

What is the difference between term life and whole life insurance?

Term life covers a set period, while whole life is designed for lifetime coverage as long as premiums are paid.

Can life insurance help with mortgage protection?

Yes. Many families use life insurance to help protect a mortgage or other debts if the insured person passes away.

Can I convert term life insurance later?

Some term policies include conversion options, but terms vary by insurer and policy wording.

Does health affect life insurance pricing?

Yes. Age, health history, smoking status, coverage amount, and policy type can affect premiums and approval.

Can Simmi Insurance help me compare different companies?

Yes. We can help explain available options, policy features, eligibility questions, and quote differences so you can make a more informed decision.

What information is usually needed to get started?

Helpful details may include age, coverage goal, budget, current coverage, health or travel information where relevant, and the reason you are reviewing insurance.

Can I review my existing policy?

Yes. A review can help you understand whether your current coverage still matches your family, income, debt, business, travel, or retirement needs.

Do you offer virtual consultations?

Yes. Virtual consultations make it easier to support clients throughout Ontario and provide guidance regardless of location.

How often should I review my coverage?

It is helpful to review coverage after major life changes such as marriage, a new home, children, business growth, job changes, travel plans, or retirement planning.

Is the cheapest policy always the best choice?

Not always. Price matters, but policy wording, exclusions, renewals, conversion options, waiting periods, and long-term flexibility can also be important.

Can newcomers to Canada get insurance guidance?

Yes. We help newcomers, visitors, students, families, and residents understand Canadian insurance and planning options in plain language.
