… and at the same time, to the declaration of insurability on EVO:

  • The immigration documents are no longer required in most cases.
  • Legal status: More answer choices to better represent the reality of the newcomer’s situation.
  • Improved processing times: EVO will alert you to any product limitations or ineligible amounts, resulting in fewer errors and fewer unnecessary referrals to underwriters.
  • More instant acceptance!
