Question #1 (Topic: Demo Questions)
Maeve is an Ontario resident. Fifteen years ago, she purchased a $250,000 whole life insurance policy and named her husband Guillaume as the primary beneficiary and her 4-year-old son Edwin as the contingent beneficiary. Last week, Tasha, Maeve ' s insurance agent called her to ask if she has had any life changes that would warrant a meeting to review her insurance coverage. Maeve informs her that over the last year she divorced Guillaume and that she is now living with her new boyfriend Eduardo. Tasha asks to meet Maeve to review her beneficiary designation. Who will receive Maeve ' s death benefit if she dies today?
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
In Ontario, unless a beneficiary designation is changed formally through the policyholder or as part of a court order, the originally designated beneficiary remains entitled to the death benefit. Since Maeve has not updated her beneficiary designation following her divorce, Guillaume remains the primary beneficiary. Divorce does not automatically revoke a beneficiary designation in life insurance policies. Therefore, if Maeve dies today, Guillaume would receive the death benefit. Edwin, the contingent beneficiary, would only receive the benefit if Guillaume were unable to (e.g., predeceased).

Question #3 (Topic: Demo Questions)
Oscar is a chartered accountant who owns and operates his own firm, Tax Time Ltd., with the help of five employees. The provincial accountants ' association offers group benefits plans to its members ' firms. Oscar recently contacted the association to have a group benefits plan quoted and put in place for his firm. Who will be the plan sponsor?
Correct Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation with Exact Extract from Documents and Guides:
In group insurance, the plan sponsor is typically the employer or entity that establishes and maintains the group benefits plan for its employees or members. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)explains that the sponsor is responsible for arranging the plan, often in collaboration with an insurer or association, but it is the employer (or firm) that formally sponsors it for its employees. Here, Tax Time Ltd., as Oscar’s firm, is the employer entity setting up the plan for its five employees, making it the plan sponsor. Oscar, as an individual, is not thesponsor; the association facilitates the plan but does not sponsor it for Tax Time Ltd.’s employees; and the insurer provides the coverage but does not act as the sponsor. Thus, option B is correct.
