About Us
The Insurance Council of British Columbia is an insurance regulatory body appointed by the BC provincial government to ensure licensed insurance agents, salespersons, and adjusters act within a professional framework, which promotes ethical conduct, integrity, and competence.
Our Mandate
Under the authority of the Financial Institutions Act, the Insurance Council regulates insurance agents, salespersons, and adjusters in BC with the overall goal of public protection.
The Insurance Council is responsible for:
Licensing: We set qualification standards to ensure all insurance licence applicants are suitable for licensing by demonstrating they are competent, trustworthy, financially reliable, and intend to carry on the business of insurance in good faith and in accordance with the usual practice.
Education and Experience: We establish education requirements for licensing meet the minimum standards necessary to protect the public.
Discipline and Enforcement: We investigate complaints and, where warranted, discipline licensees when there has been a breach of the Financial Institutions Act, or the Insurance Council Rules and Code of Conduct.
Our Mission
Proactive regulatory leadership that ensures a qualified, competent, and ethical industry meets British Columbians’ insurance needs.
