No. Licence applications, and other licence change requests are placed in a queue and reviewed in the order in which they are received. We cannot allow applicants/licensees to jump ahead of the queue as that would be unfair to other applicants/licensees who have been waiting longer.

Please note, our processing times are displayed on our website here.

If you have any questions, please contact the Licensing Department by emailing licensing@insurancecouncilofbc.com or calling 604-695-2007.

We have identified a number of business activities that may be a conflict of interest. In most cases, we have been able to address any concerns through licence conditions or restrictions, however, we have identified specific business activities where there is a high conflict of interest that a licence will not be granted. Before making a licence application, please review the List of Other Employment and Business Activities Considered Conflict of Interest by Council.

Your BC registration must mirror your licence in your home jurisdiction. To apply for any form of non-resident licensing in BC, applicants must apply for the same class and comparable level of licence in their home jurisdiction. Under Council's Code of Conduct (10.3.1), licensees must hold themselves out in the matter in which they are licensed. Please ensure your licence application properly reflects how you will be conducting business in BC.

For more information, please refer to Licensing for Non-BC Residents.
