Insurance companies and managing general agencies can use FSRA’s website to report life agents who may be unsuitable

Insurers are required by law to report unsuitable agents to FSRA. Examples of unsuitability include:

  • unlicensed activities
  • misrepresentation to company/client
  • missing continuing education credits
  • errors and omission coverage
  • criminal charges or convictions
  • breaches of regulations at FSRA or another regulator or licensing body
  • bankruptcy, consumer proposals or other insolvency matters

Where there is evidence of non-compliance with the Insurance Act, FSRA will enforce the applicable laws and regulations. FSRA reviews all submissions.

Information provided helps guide our supervision priorities and protect consumers who use the services of a life agent.
