Industrial Alliance Life Insurance Reviews

Got SCAMMED into getting a life insurance policy with these people! I tried to cancel my application right away and they would not reply to me. They took money out of my account BEFORE even informing me that my application was approved. I now have to “surrender” my policy that I tried to cancel before it was even approved. I could only imagine how things would’ve been in the long run. RUN NOW

My mother worked for this company for close to 50 years and recently passed... I have been trying to get information on policies that my mother had invested with IA this has been going on for almost a year now they keep transferring me from department to department and then to human resources and still, no one responds to my calls or e-mails.
It is ridiculous a company of this size can't figure out 3 policies in almost a year I just want to be done with this outfit the sooner the better.

Started my process to buy 4 life insurances and 2 permanents for my family in April 2021. All the paperwork was done, then nothing. No, follow-ups, they removed a payment from my account and I tried numerous times to contact the agents and nothing. Only in October, I got a response, apparently, the agents neglected my file and now they have to restart the process for one of my family members because it has been too long and the papers we initially signed are not valid to make matters worse they are charging more for our policies because now they calculate us as 1 year older. I have sent messages to Industrial Alliance for explanations and no reply. DO NOT BUY INSURANCE WITH THEM!

Have a policy with IA financial group I get the forms to fill out 8 bloody pages. Need the surgeon to fill out parts he's not in my city also employer and physician. I am so sick of insurance companies make you jump through so many hoops just to get a claim. I know now for next time I purchase a vehicle never get the extra insurance and for 1 lousy payment, I'll be back to work before I even get a cheque or the one and only cheque that I would have got. I also tried calling them they had me on hold for 30 min then it said they're having technical difficulties and hung up! Awesome! Stay away from insurance companies like this one. They take your money and try their best not to pay out any claims.

Worst insurance company ever. Won't pick up the phone, will not reply to your emails. Delays in processing requests. I still cannot figure out why my employer (One of the health networks in Ontario) decided to go with this company. Health sector employees should be treated better than this.

Not sure how these companies can legally operate. When reading through the fine print of these vehicle life insurance policies. They basically consider falling off a bicycle as a child as a preexisting condition and will deny your claim in the unfortunate event someone should pass away, which in my case, someone did. After fighting with them for several months trying to get the claim covered, it was denied, twice, when reviewed by 2 of the doctors who dealt with my fathers case, the company then go through his medical file with a fine-tooth comb and highlight "feeling tired" as being related to his cause of death and ultimately a pre-existing condition. Imagine a grieving wife having to deal with these companies all in the name of trying to claim a policy he was signed up for when purchasing a vehicle. I truly hope the employees who sign these rejection letters lose sleep every night and eventually step down to a career they can be proud of. So if you're thinking of getting life insurance through IA financial, I urge you to make sure you have never fallen down and scraped your knee! Shame on you all.

Thank God for this review board. I recently purchased a new vehicle at Coastal Ford Burnaby and was upsold on life/disability insurance through IA Insurance. After going home and reading the fine print of the AI contract, I was very troubled, I decided to dig further and came across their customer reviews. I was downright disgusted! I had to return to the dealership. Three times to finally get this crap canceled as I only had a 20-day window to do so. The cost of this insurance would have been $10,500, for what? To get the run-around and every claim denied as I've read through other people experiences... AI you are truly horrible, disgusting people to treat your hard-working clients this way...

They opened a policy against my will. The worst company and service. One day I called Industrial Alliance for a submission, needed information to compare prices. Then, they sent by mail a contract without my interest. I did not sign the contract, they still charged me 60$ and sent my file to the recovery agency. Now I have a bad history.
