Re: Canada Life Insurance Company of America
Canada Life of America Series Fund
File No. 33-28888
Dear Commissioners:
On behalf of Canada Life Insurance Company of America (the "Company") and
Canada Life of America Series Fund (the "Account"), we are filing a
certification pursuant to paragraph (j) of Rule 497 under the Securities Act of
1933. In this regard, we certify that the form of the prospectus and Statement
of Additional Information ("SAI") for certain deferred variable annuity
contracts offered by the Company through the Account otherwise required to be
filed under paragraph (c) of Rule 497 would not differ from the form of
prospectus and SAI contained in Post-Effective Amendment No. 10 to the Form
N1-A registration statement for the Account (the "Amendment"). The Amendment
was filed electronically with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April
24, 1997 via EDGARLINK.
Sincerely,
/s/ David A. Hopkins
