If you suspect that you will have coverage of more than three years, taking into account the other possibilities:

Level cost and death benefit for thirty years, designed to meet the needs of short-term.
Deadline to 65 years
Level provision in the event of death, designed to meet the needs in the medium term. Since most people today live much beyond 65 years, would be a false sense of security to buy this type of insurance thinking that meet a continuing need.
Deadline for the age of 70
Level provision in the event of death, designed to meet the needs in the medium term. Once again, as most people today live much beyond the age of 70, this would not be the type of insurance to buy continuing needs.
Deadline to age 75
Level death benefit with the level of premiums up to 75 years. The cost of this coverage is guaranteed to stay up to the age of 75 when it expires. Usually it is not convertible into any other permanent coverage offered by the issuing company. Please note that although this appears to be the coverage of a lifetime, many people are living well beyond 75 years these days for some people to this type of coverage should be considered to meet short-term needs. It is suggested that you review the coverage that is more permanent in nature if we truly want to be covered until they die. One of our insurance companies offers a refund of the difference in premiums in the year between 10 and 10 years of its mandate until 75 years should you decide that you no longer want the coverage.
Deadline for age 100
Level provision in the event of death. The cost of this coverage is guaranteed to stay up to the age of 100 and then becomes disbursed. Such coverage has no cash value. Duration 100 at the age that has cash value is deemed to fall within the type of coverage called a lifetime. Often, our rate surveys reveal that a whole life policy (sometimes called Term 100 with values) is less expensive than it is not a cash value policy Term 100. Needles to say, insurance companies have a good reason for their pricing policies in this way. It’s enough to say that sometimes can actually cost less than buying a policy with cash values. Note: Some term policies for 100 Age has an option to equip the age of 100, meaning that if you are still alive, you can receive the face value of the policy in cash, although it would be taxable.
Whole Life
Usually a level death benefit, but sometimes, if desired, an increasing death benefit. Terms such as Par and parallels are not used to this kind of coverage. Par coverage lifetime generates dividends. Dividends, life insurance, are a partial return of the premium paid for his coverage of over investment growth, if any. Dividends are not guaranteed and will fluctuate up or down from year to year. If you received a dividendprojection a few years ago in this type of life insurance policy, it would be a good idea to ask your life insurance company for a current projection of dividends. You can find that things have changed considerably. Not for a lifetime policy, on the other hand, have no future dividends in cash and securities are not projections, are guaranteed.
Not all politics are the only type of life that policies can be compared to you by our type of study because of its values fully guaranteed. Not all politics can have a level of long-term costs, usually at age 100 at which time they are paid. They may have graduated premiums during the early years of politics then the level for the remainder of the premium to pay. They may also have an expenditure level for a specific period of time, as their 65 years or 25 years or 20 years or 15 years or 10 years or even less. The shorter the time period you want to pay, the higher the cost for that period of time. Delivery guaranteed cash value of all life policy varies by the amount of coverage, time and the company pays issuing coverage.An adjusted cost analysis should be done in this type of policy to ensure that all aspects of policy is being considered [guaranteed paid guaranteed cash values and surrender values differ from policy to policy].

Universal Life
Along with the ability to pay insurance costs with pre-tax dollars, Universal Life Insurance holds the secret of tax sheltered investment growth outside an RRSP. Such coverage is a mystery to most people, including many brokers who sell it. The profile of a person who considers universal life should include the following: [1] must have a need for life insurance, [2] should be in a high marginal tax arm, [3] want to create more future income; [4] It should have maximized RRSP and pension contributions, [5] may be paying too much taxes on capital income, [6] must have an investment horizon of at least 10 years.
There are many variables to consider. Basically, when you pay into a universal life policy, all the money goes into a holding account which is invested by the insurance company at the address of the buyer in one or more types of investments. In essence, the selection of investments being the responsibility of the buyer, most transfers risk in this type of policy for the buyer. The investments may range from daily interest and term deposits to mutual funds or separate funds. [Mal performance of mutual funds or separate could create a negative growth in politics, requiring additional deposits beyond what was anticipated at the outset.] The money in your account grows tax assets protected, and she, insurance company attracts money to pay his life insurance and administrative expenses for the care of holding this account.
Often there is a guaranteed minimum rate of growth, more or less at or around 3%. Any growth beyond what is required for costs of insurance and tax administration accumulates protected as savings that can be drawn out at a later date for things like education or retirement. Under current tax laws, there is also the possibility of charging the use of such policy of assigning it to a bank and take a tax-free loan against the policy.
The cost of buying a universal life policy varies from a minimum guaranteed to support the cost of life insurance, at most, only limited by law to maintain the tax-exempt policy. Paying more money in politics is needed to maintain life insurance in force, creates a boat increasingly sheltered from tax havens in cash that can be accessed in the future. A reasonable expectation of growth in the holding account might be, by the standards of today, in the range of 5% to 7%, but could be more or less. This type of policy is most often used by people who are trying to tax-shelter money and who want to have a future life insurance premiums paid with pre-tax dollars. Remember, at 50% marginal tax arm a 5% growth protected is equivalent to a 10% growth unprotected. The “net growth” is what is most important, not the “serious”.
The Law on Income Tax of Canada imposes certain restrictions on the policies of the Universal Life. If a person intends to overfund universal life policy, it is important to pay attention to those 10 years, 250% rule. This rule limits contributions to politics as 10 years with interest at 2.5 times the value of fund 3 years. This anti-dump-in provision may come as a shock to policyholders who do not make deposits before the fund an amount. The Law on Income Tax also allows a policy’s death benefit to grow each year. The 8% test the limits of how much additional tank room is created in politics as a result of growth. The 8% rule only applys to those who are making the most deposits in its policy.
Universal Life policies are among the most difficult of all life insurance contracts to compare. In general, it is impossible to make an apples to apples comparison because there are so many variables related to investment choices, when and how much investor bonus is paid, if any, delivery fees and management fees. The constant factors on which we focus are: (a) Cost of insurance, (b) If the cost of insurance is the level (Duration age 100) or the annual increase (YRT - annual increase in term), ( c) growth rate assumption, probably between 5% to 7%, (d) Amount of initial death benefit (e) Amount of money to be deposited; (f) Number of years deposits will be made (G) What is your goal, namely to maximise the cash surrender value to a certain age, guarantee insurance coverage for life, ensuring political disbursed within a certain period of time, etc.
Mortgage reduction term
Life insurance with a death benefit, reducing to zero over a specific period of time. For example, you can buy coverage of 200000 dollars, which reduced to $ 0 coverage to more than 20 years. When you buy this coverage from an insurance company for life, the death benefit is paid upon the death of the insured life to a named beneficiary, usually a spouse, tax-free.
If you buy this coverage through the credit institution where your mortgage, the credit institution is the beneficiary and is the only one who will receive the death benefit, to eliminate the mortgage outstanding. Mortgage insurance purchased through the credit institution is not portable and is not guaranteed. If you sell your house and buy another, you’ll have to qualify for new mortgage insurance. Maybe you will not be able to qualify. In any case, it is recommended not to use the reduction in mortgage insurance to protect your mortgage, because most people today are not those who live in the same house for the rest of their lives. You might end up buying two or three or more homes in their lives. If you buy level term death benefit coverage, you will never be sorry.
Disease critical living benefit
This type of benefit is now marketed by several life insurance companies in Canada. In general, pay a lump sum tax-free in case of heart attack, stroke, life-threatening cancer, major organ transplant, heart surgery, multiple sclerosis, kidney failure, paralysis, blindness and deafness. Should death occur before a request for payment, often all premiums paid will be refunded. In order to successfully obtain such coverage, not only the applicant has to be healthy, but the immediate family of the applicant must have a history of good health.
Accidental death and dismemberment
Such coverage provides a benefit for death by accident, the loss of a limb or limbs, or loss of use of a limb or limbs as a result of accidental means.

You have done a good job summarizing all the different types of insurance. I like how you indicate what certain policies are best used for - or not used for.
So many people seem to think that there is one “best” kind of life insurance. I always stress to my clients that insurance is a financial tool. You have to pick the best tool for your situation.
