"So I am going to move to Vancouver to work for 6 months starting in May. My apartment management requires me get tenant insurance before moving in.

... " Read more is cheap. RBC gave me a quote of $28 monthly. XN Global gave me a $310 yearly quote. However, Square One costs me only $12 per month! 2. Square One's website is super easy, super intuitive, super user friendly. I've been living in Silicon Valley for couple years and I am in the tech industry, so I am very impressed they have a such nice website. 3. Square One's website has live agents. You can't find this on others and Square One's live agent responds fast and friendly. I don't have to wait to clear all my questions. Whereas I have to call RBC and XN Global. I have to wait to get in the line for RBC, and the number provided on XN Global won't even get connected. 4. Almost forgot to mention, Square One does their insurance month to month. I can cancel it at any time and I don't have to pay any penalty fee! Whereas, RBC, XN Global and Westland all charges you penalty fee (one month of premium) if you only need it for couple months. After getting a quote from Square One, I then updated my credit card info and that's it. In another 15 seconds, I received my policy in email. It's a total of less than 5 minutes! (That includes chatting with their live agent.) You know, this would be a normal/expected experience for any new tech firm's website, but it's truly impressive when it happens at a Canadian insurance company."
