To qualify for a Travel Insurance Agent licence, an applicant must successfully complete an education program for a Travel Insurance Agent approved by the Superintendent of Insurance.
What if I have a Life or Accident and Sickness Insurance Agent Licence?
Individuals who already hold a Life or Accident and Sickness Insurance Agent licence are eligible to sell travel insurance without needing to complete an additional travel insurance education program or obtain a separate Travel Insurance Agent licence. However, they must indicate on their application or renewal that they also plan to sell travel insurance.
What if I don’t hold a Life or Accident and Sickness Insurance Agent Licence?
For those who do not hold a Life or Accident and Sickness Insurance Agent licence, you must obtain a Travel Insurance Agent license which will require you successfully complete an education program approved by the Superintendent. The Superintendent has approved the following two courses for a Travel Insurance Agent licence:
- Life Licence Qualifying Program (LLQP) components:
- Accident and Sickness Insurance
- Ethics and Professional Practice (Common Law)
- TRIP - Travel Health Insurance Association’s (THIA) Travel Insurance Program
Effective February 1, 2026, an applicant for a Travel Insurance Agent licence must upload proof of successful completion of one of the approved courses listed above. Applicants must complete an approved Travel Insurance Agent Licence course exam within 12 months before applying – unless they held a corresponding or equivalent licence in the previous 24 months.
