Mortgage Brokerages, Lenders and Administrators Act
The Mortgage Brokerages, Lenders and Administrators Act, 2006 came into force on July 1, 2008, replacing Ontario's Mortgage Brokers Act, 1990,[1] and requires all individuals and businesses who conduct mortgage brokering activities in Ontario to be licensed.[2] The Act is currently administered by the Financial Services Commission of Ontario.
Notable changes with the new legislation include:
- restrict the use of the titles, "mortgage brokerage", "mortgage broker", "mortgage agent", and "mortgage administrator" (and their French equivalents)[3]
- application to real estate brokers who act as mortgage brokers in Ontario[4]
- adding regulatory oversight to mortgage brokers who administer mortgages on behalf of third parties[4]
- exemptions to educational requirements during the transition period for some individuals[5]
- two year licensing cycles[6]
- introducing criteria for surrendering a license[6]
