Universal life insurance

Are indexed universal life insurance (IUL) or variable universal life insurance (VUL) policies available in Canada?

Not under those names. Indexed universal life (IUL) and variable universal life (VUL) are US products. In Canada, universal life insurance offers similar choices: index-linked options that follow a fund or market index and can rise or fall, alongside guaranteed interest options.
