Your prior coverage may be recognized when replacing or refinancing a loan. For details,
please refer to the sample certificate of insurance here:

What is the
amount of the
benefit paid?
If you die, Canada Life will pay BMO the amount as more fully described below, up to a
maximum of $1 000 000:
For a commercial term loan:
• If you applied for insurance coverage that is equal to the loan amount, the benefit
paid will be the balance of the loan on the date of your death (including accrued
interest up to a maximum of 60 days)
• If you applied for insurance coverage that is a percentage of the loan amount, the
benefit paid is calculated by multiplying the percentage of coverage by the
outstanding balance owed to BMO on the date of your death (including accrued
interest for up to a maximum of 60 days)
Example: If you have selected to cover 25% of your $400,000 commercial
mortgage and your outstanding mortgage balance is $200,000 on the day you die,
the Life Insurance benefit paid is 25% of $200,000.
For an operating loan or line of credit:
• If you applied for insurance coverage that is equal to the loan amount, the benefit
payment will be the authorized limit of the operating loan or line of credit,
regardless of the outstanding balance (including accrued interest up to a maximum
of 60 days)
