The Superintendent, FSCO has approved new mortgage agent education programs for agent licensing purposes under the new Mortgage Brokerages, Lenders and Administrators Act, 2006 (the new Act):

The mortgage agent education programs are provided commercially, and tuition fees are set by individual program providers. Programs offered by different providers are developed using the same curriculum, but they can take different formats, such as classroom course, correspondence, or online. All of these approved programs include a course of study and a qualifying final examination.

Individuals who are required to successfully complete a mortgage agent education program on or after July 1, 2008 are encouraged to research the various options to ensure the program selected is appropriate for their needs.

Approved mortgage agent education providers include:

• "CAAMP’s Ontario Mortgage Agent Course" provided by the Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals (CAAMP)
• The "IMBA Mortgage Agent Course" provided by the Independent Mortgage Brokers Association of Ontario (IMBA)
