Overview

The LLQP is a recognized certification program that will qualify candidates to write the provincial insurance regulator’s licensing exam. The objective is to provide a solid learning foundation for insurance professionals entering the field. The program is organized in the following modules: Life Insurance, Accident and Sickness Insurance, Segregated Funds and Annuities, and Ethics and Professional Practice, Common Law.

Harmonized LLQP Examination

Candidates will have one year after passing the course provider’s certification exams to successfully pass all the required provincial exams. The duration of each exam is 75 minutes with 30 questions for each module, except for Ethics and Professional Practice which has 20 questions. No physical notice of completions or certificates will be issued. When students complete their certification exams, the course provider will upload this information to their profile and then they will be eligible to write the Provincial LLQP Licensing exams. Once certified, the candidate will then have one year to write and pass the four course module exams with their province. The candidate must obtain a minimum of 60% on each exam. Once they complete their exams, they can start the licensing process with the corresponding Insurance Council.
