Comprehensive Home Owners Insurance in Canada This type of home insurance is also known as "All Risk" coverage. This means that all risks are covered, except for those that are specifically excluded. This coverage usually applies to the building and contents. But check your policy to be sure. The most common exclusions that you need to know about are flooding and earthquake.

Limits for contents are also lower in this type of policy.

Broad Form Home Insurance This is a hybrid between Comprehensive and Named Perils coverage. This policy gives comprehensive coverage on the dwelling building but named perils coverage on the contents.

Basic Home Owners Policy Some insurers offer very basic or “No Frills” coverage. These policies are very limited in their coverage. They may only be offered if the dwelling to be insured does not meet the minimum standards of the insurer. Often there is a physical problem that needs to be addressed as it increased the risk of a claim. The premium may not be lower than a regular policy so it is wise to fix the problem as quickly as possible.
