    Just wondering if anyone has herd of the Insurance Company Canada Life. They called me and wanted to meet about reviewing my insurance policys to give me a better quote. I am not with them for insurance all ready & they want me to change. They say they have offices around the country. I googled their name & found this site http://www.canadalife.com/003/Home/index.htm

    Anyone with them? Or know if they are chancers of legit?

    Canada Life are massive and well respected. I've had policies with them for many years, and so have most of my family.

    Well worth considering.

    They do tend to use a lot of brokers and freelancers to do their local work.

    Its the house phone they rang, not my mobile.
    When I answered they started talking to me about the policy we had, I stopped her & I asked could I take a message & I told her someone would call back.
    Then I just wanted to see if they were a legit company. Which is the reason for the thread.
