Group coverage means significantly more value.

Some of the benefits we outline below are not included with other life insurance plans or are only available at extra cost. We've included the following features in your Mount Royal Alumni Group Term Life Insurance at no extra cost to you. These benefits are in addition to your term life benefit:

We will pay for your premiums if you are disabled.
If you’re less than 65 years of age and become totally disabled due to an accident or sickness, we will waive all Term Life premiums due after 6 months of continuous disability. Your coverage will continue, at no charge to you, throughout the duration of your disability through to age 70. This benefit is exclusively for alumni members and is not available to spouses.

We offer a 60 day money back guarantee. If you are not fully satisfied, you can cancel your coverage and return the Certificate within 60 days of the effective date. You'll receive a full refund of any premiums already paid.

Extra help for your family:

Career retraining for your spouse.
In the event of your death, this plan will pay up to $10,000 for your spouse to receive occupational training should they need to change careers in order to support your family. If your spouse is insured under this plan, you would also qualify for this benefit in the event of their death.

Help with daycare costs.
Should you die while your children are in their daycare years, this plan will reimburse for daycare expenses up to 5% of your Term Life Insurance coverage to a maximum of $5,000 per year, per child for up to 4 consecutive years. These payments are in addition to your term life benefit amount. This benefit is also available to your spouse.

Plans for your child's post-secondary education can continue.
With the Mount Royal Alumni Group Term Life Insurance plan, you have the peace of mind knowing that your dreams of higher education for your child won’t be cut short by your premature death. If your child is attending a post-secondary institution at the time of your death, or if they enrol within 365 days of your death, the plan will reimburse their education expenses up to 5% of your Term Life Insurance coverage to a maximum of $5,000 per year, per child, for up to 4 consecutive years. These payments are in addition to your term life benefit amount. This benefit is also available to your spouse.

Additional features:

Your insurance will also help you with expenses during the difficult end-of-life period.
If you’re diagnosed with a terminal illness from which you are not expected to survive beyond 12 months of your written prognosis, iA Financial Group will pay you an amount equal to 50% of the Term Life Insurance you have in effect, to a maximum of $100,000. Your insurance must have been in force for at least two full years at the time of prognosis.

If you change workplaces, employment status or even move away from Canada, your Term Life Insurance will remain in effect.
You’re covered 24 hours a day, anywhere in the world, regardless of a change in your profession, job status, place of employment or residence.

If you should die while you’re away from home...

Important information about your premium rates:

*Premiums are calculated each year, based on your age at June 1, and will increase as you reach a higher age band.

**Non-smoker rates apply to individuals who, at the time of application, have not used any form of tobacco (except an average of one cigar a month), including nicotine products, electronic cigarettes, marijuana mixed with tobacco, hashish mixed with tobacco, smoking cessation products, betel nuts or leaves, supari, paan, gutka or shisha, within the last 12 months and who have provided satisfactory evidence of insurability.

***The oldest age at which you can apply is 64. The premiums for ages 65 to 69 are for renewal of existing coverage only. The value of each unit of insurance reduces on the June 1st coincident with or following your 61st birthday by 10% every year.

Why the drop in value at age 61?

One of the benefits of purchasing Term Life Insurance is that it offers a cost-effective option to people seeking life insurance coverage when they are younger. However, this also means that rates increase with age. By decreasing the unit value for those older than 60, rather than increasing the premium rate, we can offer a reasonably priced product for a smaller amount of coverage. The reduction schedule was designed to provide an affordable solution for those who don’t need as much coverage once their children are grown and their mortgage is paid off.

1. Am I eligible for Term Life Insurance?

If you’re a Mount Royal University Alumni Association member, both you and your spouse are eligible to apply for Term Life Insurance. Even if you choose not to apply, your spouse is still eligible.

You must also be residing in Canada, and less than 65 years of age.

Spouse means the legal spouse of a member, providing there is no separation in effect, or an individual who has been residing in a marriage-like relationship with the member for a period of at least 12 consecutive months.

Your spouse must also be residing in Canada, and less than 65 years of age.

2. When does my coverage terminate?

On the earliest of the following dates:

the June 1 following the date you reach age 70;
the end of the month in which your written request to cancel your insurance is received;
the end of the month in which you are no longer eligible;
the date the Group Master Policy between the Mount Royal University Alumni Association and iA Financial Group terminates;
with regard to your spouse's Term Life Insurance, the earliest of the above or the end of the policy year following the date they reach age 70, or the end of the month in which they no longer qualify as a "spouse".

3. Will my premiums stay the same?

Premiums are calculated based on your age and applicable rate at the beginning of each June. As the rates are in 5-year age bands, premiums will increase as you reach a higher age band.

The value of each unit of insurance reduces on the June 1 coincident with or following your 61 birthday by 10% every year.

Please refer to the pricing tab to find out your age band and monthly premium.

4. Why does the unit value of my coverage start decreasing at age 61?

5. Can I change amounts of insurance?
