Calgary, Alberta — In today’s global world, many Canadians are choosing to relocate overseas — whether for work, retirement, or family reasons. But a common question arises for those with existing life insurance policies: What happens to my life insurance policy if I move abroad? Punjab Insurance Inc., led by experienced insurance advisor Gurinder Chahal, is here to help answer this vital question and provide expert guidance to individuals navigating international transitions.


Understanding Life Insurance Coverage When You Move Abroad
When moving abroad, your life insurance policy doesn’t automatically become void, but several important considerations can affect its validity, premium rates, and claim processes. The impact largely depends on the type of policy you hold, the insurance provider’s regulations, and your new country of residence.

1. Type of Life Insurance Matters
If you have a term life insurance or whole life insurance policy with a Canadian provider like Punjab Insurance Inc., your coverage generally remains intact even if you relocate. However, it’s crucial to notify your insurer about your move to avoid complications in the future.

2. Residency and Risk Assessment
Insurance companies consider the country you’re moving to when determining risk. Some countries may be flagged as high-risk due to political instability, poor healthcare infrastructure, or higher mortality rates. In such cases, your insurer may adjust your premium or impose limitations on your coverage.

3. Claims Process for Beneficiaries Abroad
Living overseas doesn’t mean your family back in Canada (or abroad) can’t receive the policy benefits. However, the claims process may be more complex, requiring notarized documents, official death certificates from foreign governments, or even proof of residence. Working with a trusted advisor like Gurinder Chahal ensures your loved ones are well-prepared and fully informed.

4. Currency and Taxation Considerations
Moving abroad could introduce foreign exchange and tax implications. Some countries tax foreign-earned income or inheritances, which could impact your beneficiaries. It’s advisable to consult both your insurance advisor and a tax professional to plan effectively.
