How LLQP Licensing Works

Steps

1. 1

   Getting Started: Get Your CIPR

   Every LLQP student must have a Canadian Insurance Participant Registry (CIPR) number before beginning a new program. Create your CIPR account here: Get your CIPR Number (opens in a new tab). Keep this number safe, it's required for your certification exams and provincial licensing.

2. 2

   Select and Enroll in a Program

   Choose the program that aligns with your licensing goals. BCC offers:

   • Full LLQP (Life & Accident & Sickness Insurance) Program
   • Accident & Sickness (A&S) Only
   • Ethics & Professional Practice Add-ons
   • A&S Top-Up to Full LLQP
3. 3

   Complete Your Certification Exams

   • Certification exams are available 24/7
   • You need a passing grade of at least 60% for each
   • You have up to 4 attempts per exam. If you fail all 4 attempts of any exam, you must re-register and restart the entire LLQP Program
   • After you pass all of your certification exams, BCC updates your CIPR record, enabling you to register for the provincial licensing exam. There may be some wait times to register for your provincial examination depending on the province you reside in
4. 4

   Write Your Provincial Licensing Exams

   • Book directly with whoever administers the exams for the regulator in your jurisdiction
   • Confirm if your province offers online or in-person exams
5. 5

   Apply for Your License

   • Once you pass your provincial exam, you can apply for your life and/or Accident & Sickness licenses through your provincial insurance council or regulator
   • You may need a sponsor from a qualifying insurance provider
