Commissioners:

On behalf of Canada Life Insurance Company of America (the "Company") and Canada
Life of America Variable Annuity Account 2 (the "Account"), we are transmitting
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 for the variable annuity contracts offered
by the Company through the Account that would have been filed under paragraph
(c) of Rule 497 would not have differed from that contained in the
above-referenced registration statement for the Account. That registration
statement was filed electronically with the Commission on April 30, 2002.

If you have any questions or comments regarding this filing, please contact the
undersigned at (770) 953-1959 ext. 2209.

Sincerely.

/s/ Craig R. Edwards
