(Act respecting the distribution of financial products and services, s. 22)
When you sign up for a loan and apply for loan insurance, is insurability (conditions for insurance coverage) always checked?
With respect to loan insurance, insurability is often checked at the time of a claim. It is therefore very important to properly respond to questions on the application, particularly with respect to health-related issues. Otherwise, an insurer may dispute and deny a claim.
