Manulife CoverMe™ Easy Issue term life insurance
What is term life insurance?
Term life insurance is a contract for insurance on your (or another person’s) life that you buy for a set period of time (a ‘term’), usually 10 years. You pay premiums to keep the policy 'in force'. At the end of each term, you can usually renew it for another ‘term’, depending on the policy requirements.

Term life insurance is ‘in force’ for a specific length of time, and then it expires (although it can be renewed). Permanent life insurance is ‘in force’ for the entirety of a person's life. It's also known as Whole life insurance, Universal life insurance or Participating life insurance.
There are maximum amounts to which you can insure a life. Our life insurance calculator may help you sort out how much coverage would work best for you.
Premiums you pay for your term life insurance policy stay the same throughout the length of the term. At the end of the term period, when you renew the policy, your premiums would usually increase.
Yes. Generally, you can renew your policy for additional terms without medical questions, at time of renewal in accordance with the conditions set out in your policy contract.
It depends. With some plans you can convert the same amount or a portion of your plan to permanent insurance without medical questions prior to a certain age. Premiums are determined in consideration of the coverage amount, the plan you choose, your age and risk classification. Restrictions from your current term life insurance plan carry over to the new permanent plan.
