Private Mortgages Course

Mortgage Agent Level 2 Licensing

The Private Mortgages Course is a new education requirement that mortgage agents must complete in order to upgrade their licence to "Level 2" and be able to deal and trade in mortgages provided by lenders other than financial institutions and CMHC approved lenders under the National Housing Act, such as:

  • mortgage investment companies (MICs)
  • syndicates
  • private individuals
  • agents, brokers, and brokerages


Mortgage agents and brokers must complete this course by March 31, 2024, as part of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario's (FSRA) new licensing requirements. For agents and brokers with five or more years of consecutive, recent licensing experience, they may forego the course by completing the challenge exam by October 31, 2023. 

For information on the new licensing requirement transition that begins on April 1, 2023, please visit FSRA's website.
