The Canada Life Assurance Company is one of Canada's largest life and health insurers, formed from the 2020 amalgamation of Great-West Life, London Life and Canada Life under Winnipeg-based parent Great-West Lifeco. From its home market of Canada it underwrites individual life insurance, critical illness and disability coverage, individual and group health and dental benefits, group retirement and savings, segregated funds and annuities, distributed through an advisor and managing-general-agent channel rather than direct-to-developer. Canada Life publishes no public, self-serve developer portal and no downloadable API specifications. Its integration surface is entirely partner-gated: a live OAuth2-protected API gateway at api.canadalife.com that returns 403 on every path and exposes only OpenID discovery and JWKS anonymously, a Liferay "Digital Agent" advisor login wall at advisor.canadalife.com, a Salesforce-hosted customer portal at my.canadalife.com that publishes its own OpenID Connect discovery document with 36 platform scopes, and — the real machine-to-machine channel for this market — ACORD XML for Life data exchange with distributors through its carrier membership in CLIEDIS, the Canadian Life Insurance EDI Standards body. A former Apigee developer portal at developers.canadalife.com survives only as a dangling DNS CNAME pointing at prod-canadalife-portal.apigee.net, which no longer resolves.
