IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • It is mandatory for a brokerage to have and implement an up-to-date Policies and Procedures Manual, refer to Ontario Regulation 188/08 section 40.
  • If your manual has not been reviewed by the Brokerage/Principal Broker in the past year, FSRA will not find it acceptable
  • While the CMBA Ontario Policies and Procedures Manual templates provide the general content, brokerages are expected to update their manual regularly and ensure that its contents meet their specific needs and practices.
  • Your AIR also specifically asks if you reviewed your brokerage’s Policies and Procedures Manual during the reporting period and you have to identify when they were last updated
  • If you require an update from a Manual that was purchased from CMBA Ontario more than 12 months ago, you will need to purchase the Manual again.

Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability – This manual has been designed as a generic document for Mortgage Brokerages that concentrate on Residential Brokering. If your brokerage, participates in or specializes in any of the below outlined areas, it is advisable that your manual be modified to accommodate those areas of expertise. 

Areas that should require further in-depth clarification and brokering guidance are:

  • Syndicated Mortgage sales or Investments
  • Reverse Mortgages
  • Construction and Draw Mortgages
  • Leveraged Investments

It is recommended that if your Brokerage is involved in any of the above, then a clause or a complete section be added addressing that particular area’s uniqueness.  We recommend it should be crafted by a professional in that area. CMBA will not provide that for you.
