MQCC® is "Who Dat"?
1, Incorporated in September 16, 2006; trading in mortgages as an investor or lender with world-wide reach (network.mqcc.org) licensed with:
Alberta, Canada: Real Estate Council of Alberta (RECA)
British Columbia: BC Financial Services Authority (BCFSA)
Ontario: Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA)
2, MQCC® is renowned for its expertise as a specialist in critical and complex or time-sensitive financing matters where $$ is often arranged from non-bank, non-regulated or private sources; also known as a LEVEL 2 MORTGAGE (www.level2mortgage.com).
3. MQCC® accepts this role solemnly because after 17 plus years of experience, it is recognized that after the desk of MQCC®, if MQCC® cannot help the applicant, then it is possible or likely that the "next step" for the applicant is to face either:
a lawyer or
a judge or
realtor
>> The lawyer to defend the applicant in a legal matter; typically mortgage enforcement by an existing lender (foreclosure); or,
>> The judge because the applicant is already in the legal process of enforcement and MQCC® was brought in as a "last minute" solution; or
>> The realtor because the applicant has decided to sell the real estate voluntarily since MQCC® cannot help and no other option exists for the applicant
3. MQCC® services are designed to be good, not cheap.
4. Before MQCC® enters into an arrangement, there is some initial homework that needs to be done in order to get a level of understanding into a matter.
5. In some cases, MQCC® sees some issues and the best thing to do is to contact the Applicant directly (at a peer-to-peer basis) to reduce miscommunication; with government licensed mortgage consent, naturally.

Duty to Demonstrate (Assure Suitability for a Level 2 Mortgage Requirement)
At all times, there is a Legal (Regulatory-required) or Professional (Professional Liability Insurer's expectation of competent best practice) Duty of a Government Licensed Mortgage Broker to Demonstrate the Need for A Level 2 Mortgage (private lending) Solution for Any Given Applicant
As every Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of every government licensed, regulated and professional liability insured mortgage brokerage is fully aware; given the regulatory climate and general duty to supervise mortgage originators effectively at all times and in order to prevent claims of professional errors, omissions or negligence or other problems like incompetence (for National equivalent non-level 2 (brokers and agents wanting to arrange both private mortgages and investments for private investors and mortgage lenders) accredited originators (or insufficiently experienced level 2 brokers) of 'private lending' transactions); it is vital for MQCC® to know that you, originating broker have exhausted all options for your applicant based upon your own competency and skill set and capability based upon your experience level.
Further, every CEO or Designated Individual (DI) or Conformity (compliance (a deprecated term) Officer or person in a supervisory role, is aware of the duty (as a matter of professional competency) for a government licensed mortgage broker to demonstrate that a mortgage applicant' best or most fair and reasonable option is a level 2 mortgage or private lending solution; the suitability requirement.
Mortgage Industry Confidence in MQCC®: 20+ Years of Leadership
Since before incorporation, as early as August 14, 2001; MQCC® is Canada's expert leader in critical and complex or time sensitive financing solutions for both mortgage and non-mortgage purposes. As such, all Government Licensed Mortgage Brokers must demonstrate to both MQCC® and their consumer or corporate mortgage applicants, that MQCC® is a necessary option for consideration because based upon the fair and reasonable and competent and professional assessment of you - the originating government licensed mortgage broker - that your applicants requirements in respect of:
speed of cash required, or
understanding of your clients critical or complex situation
Cannot be fairly nor reasonably nor practically met by the "normal" lending market place.
And that you -- the originating mortgage broker -- have fairly, reasonably and competently, exhausted all "normal" lending market place lenders found in one or more of the below mortgage technology platforms:

Alternatively, before you connect with MQCC® please contact these other lenders first:
British Columbia Head Office based members of the BC MIC Managers Association who lend in Alberta, BC and Ontario; here is a list of current members: List
Type in "private lender" + your country name; in google and call the results that appear on these pages, before contacting MQCC®
Remember: not all private lenders are truly private lenders; if you do not know the difference, ask a lawyer to help you or enroll at MQCC® PEM® Institute to learn the trade from Level 2 Origination to Level 2 Underwriting to beyond; www.peminstitute.org
If you wish to bypass the above steps in order to save yourself time then you are welcome to contact MQCC® however a cautionary note: there is a premium to be paid because at MQCC® Time is Truly Worth Money™
When you do wish to contact MQCC®, as part of the risk management process, you are required to disclose:
Which lenders have you gone to
What did the other lenders say
Why contact the "private lenders" in the above Listed Platforms or Sources, First?
MQCC® exists in the universe of the International Peer-to-Peer (P2P) & Private Finance Association IP2PFA™ (www.ip2pfa.org) which promotes:
Non-Bank, Non-Institutional, Non-Syndicated, Non-Regulated or Regulatory Exempt, Free Trading Finance; also known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow Finance
MQCC® Starts where the above stop; either because:
a) MQCC® is faster; in which case the speed is a premium
b) MQCC® is more flexible; in which case the flexibility is a premium
c) MQCC® is more creative; in which case the creativity is a premium
d) MQCC® is more certain (ie: guaranteed to fund); in which case the certainty is a premium
So you -- the originating mortgage broker -- must provide demonstrable and document proof that you have exhausted all other options and MQCC® appears to be the only fair and reasonable option for your mortgage Applicant given the nature, quality and character of the Applicant's time sensitive or critical or complex situation.
Especially Level 2 Mortgage Brokers.

If you have exhausted, fairly and reasonable, the above lenders or if time is of the essence, please continue to MQCC® by studying the MQCC® General Historical Rates, before proceeding to contact MQCC®.
General Historical Rates with MQCC®
Lender, Broker, Lawyer, Land Titles, Other Fees? Subject to Value of Benefit based upon the legal principle of "value for service" of MQCC® Money ($) to the Applicant in order to Further the Applicant's Personal or Non-Personal Objectives for Money.
Applicants consider MQCC® a Financing Partner and not a lender nor an investor; as such, at MQCC® Gross Fees of between 8% - 12% more or less, are not historically unreasonable given the value for service.
General Rule of Thumb:
Personal Use of Funds (Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Non-tax deductible 'cost of borrowing')
Applicants who intend on using MQCC® Money ($) for personal use or farming use have an upper boundary limit at MQCC® of between 29% and 30% because MQCC® chooses NOT to be in the HIGH-COST CREDIT REGULATED business; which typically starts at 32%. Some mortgage companies are this expensive, including these ones:
Newfoundland and Labrador High-Cost Credit rules start in June 2024
Other Canada Provinces (please research on your own)
Non-Personal Use of Funds (Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Tax deductible 'cost of borrowing')
Applicants who intend on using MQCC® Money ($) for non-personal use or business, investment or commercial use have an upper boundary limit at MQCC® of up to 60% but this may change depending on the actual nature, quality and character of the financial solution. For example, a MQCC® FACTOR (accounts receivable discount) financial product is not subject to the 60% boundary because this is not considered a "debt" or "loan" product.
MQCC® may offer a CONVERTIBLE DEBT/EQUITY Financing Solution; which transforms the debt into equity and returns on equity investment, while volatile, can be much higher than 60%.
Each Applicant is different and each financing requirement is different; so the best solution is determined after MQCC® Intake and MQCC® Underwriting is complete.
Government licensed mortgage brokers, sub-brokers, agents; please see a lawyer or accountant for legal or accounting advice. This website does NOT provide legal advice, accounting advice, conformity advice, regulatory advice or another advice.

Licensed Brokers
If you are a shareholder (major or minor) in a licensed mortgage broker firm, designated mortgage broker, mortgage-broker-of-record, owner-operator or franchisee and you trade in non-bank mortgage transactions, it is imperative that you use MortgageQuote.
Why?
Industry Regulators publish a list of all licensed mortgage brokers who have been reported for regulatory non-compliance within their mortgage broker operations.
Can you sleep well at night knowing your mortgage agents are working in a regulatory compliant manner? The average Errors and Omissions Lawsuit may cost you over $250,000.00 for a "deal" that earned you $1500.00 in fees.
Do you want the negative good-will publicity of being reported to the regulators or being subject to a lawsuit?
Implementing a Certified Regulatory Compliant and litigation tested integrated operating, managing and reporting system if your best defense.
A regulatory and operational compliance audit is a critical risk-based management component for participants of the financial services industry. History has proven that failure to adhere to regulatory compliance requirements may result in a financially fatal outcome for the officers, directors and shareholders of a financial services company, namely mortgage brokerages and private lenders. Maintaining a culture of compliance is good for your bottom line and for your customers trust and confidence in your business.
Don't be on the regulator list - and don't be subject to an errors and omission's claim without a process-based defense, established during the point of origination.

For licensed mortgage brokerage firm, dealing in mortgages or dealing with private mortgage investor-lenders can be very lucrative, yet there is substantial risk associated with such transactions, if not done in a 100% compliant manner.
Need proof of the risk to a licensed mortgage brokerage? Visit the following links to see the regulatory enforcement activities. Not all complaints are published; many mortgage transaction complaints are "dealt" with the mortgage broker and complainants directly, before a statement of claim is filed or a regulatory complaint is submitted.
Alberta: Case Summaries
British Columbia: Enforcement
Ontario: Enforcement Activities
Time and again we have cautioned experienced mortgage industry members (owner/officers/directors/shareholders of mortgage brokerage firms) to rely upon MortgageQuote to help reduce the risk of financial and reputation liability, when hiring multiple mortgage agents who deal in the highly regulated industry of mortgages (transactions or investor-lenders).
Experienced Errors and Omissions Insurance professionals state that the biggest complaint of a mortgage brokerage firm and their agents, when subject to either a valid or frivolous E&O claim, is that the broker or agent 'did nothing wrong', but cannot effectively prove it - in an objective manner. Well now you can.

Trade & Profit from Private Lending; Sleep Well at Night™
Do you want your clients to participate in the lucrative world of certified quality managed private lending to earn the returns as described at our MQCC Investor-Lender page?
Do you want to earn money in private lending without compromising, invalidating or otherwise affecting your errors & omissions insurance?
Understand that not every mortgage brokerage is permitted to trade in private lending. Who decides? Your EO Insurance coverage; your regulator required Customer Relationship decision (agent for borrower, intermediary or agent for lender).
Alberta:
Pursuant to RECA standards of conduct (https://www.reca.ca/consumers/standards/rules/part2-div1.htm)
Industry Member Prohibitions
42
Industry members must not:
(section 42), (c) use confidential information obtained from any person for personal gain nor should that information be used for any purpose other than that for which it was obtained;
Section 42,combined with Section 43 (Written Service Agreements), 44 (Protection of Client Information) places the same burden of confidentiality on your client (the private investor-lender)
Agent for Lender Requirements
https://www.reca.ca/industry/relationships/representing-lender.htm
Mortgage brokerages are cautioned that their industry members must only undertake activities that match the type of relationship the brokerage has chosen to have with lenders and/or borrowers (e.g. AGENT FOR BORROWER). For example, if a mortgage brokerage business model is to act as an intermediary, an advertisement that indicates “we ensure borrowers get the best mortgage rate” may be false and/or misleading, as it could lead a borrower to believe that the mortgage brokerage is working on his or her behalf. Appropriate wording could be “we work with borrowers to provide appropriate options for their consideration.”
MortgageQuote Canada Corp. (MQCC) - your only safe way to trade and profit from certified statutory, regulatory and process (SRP™) conformity private lending in Canada.
If your brokerage choses to act for borrowers, or as an intermediary. It (or it's licensed agents) can NOT act for a private lender (as defined by RECA). So, it may be best to direct your private lending activity (or refer your interested investor-lenders) to a trusted quality brokerage firm that has chosen to act for private lenders from the outset, ie; MortgageQuote Canada Corp. For the record, MQCC is Canada's ONLY mortgage brokerage firm that is certified to be fully compliant with regulatory private lender interaction requirements, in Canada. First in Canada: Certified Quality Management System & Certified Regulatory Compliance
You still get control of your investor-lender referral and you still participate in the lucrative private lending area, it's just that you do it within the context of compliance.
This is the best way to prevent downstream issues from arising.

Background
Why MQCC™ SAFER™ Private Finance is Important for Government and Non-Government Regulated and Licensed Credit Intermediaries (Loan and Mortgage Brokers)?
One reason is that MQCC is important because it recognizes the true risk that face government licensed and regulated credit intermediaries when they trade in Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow goods (products) or services (methods); as follows:
1 - One or All of the following parties:
your customer
your regulatory body
your licensing body
your professional liability and errors and omissions insurer, risk underwriter, insurance agent or broker
your Designated Broker
your Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of your brokerage
your brokerages' Top Management (as defined in the applicable Canadian Federal and International Standard)
your brokerage's shareholders, investors, lenders and corporate risk insurers/Directors and Officer's Liability Insurer and risk underwriters
prospective customers
require that you or your:
Brokerage
Fellow Brokers (Agents and Sub-Brokers)
Unlicensed assistants
trade in credit transactions:
to a standard that conform to expectations and requirements by regulators, consumers, investors, lenders, fellow employees, shareholders of your brokerage, Top Management of your brokerage and your professional liability and errors and omissions insurers/brokers/agents; namely, that you:
Operate or Function or Act in a manner that is beyond reproach (or, at the minimum, accountable); specifically, that is:
at a minimum; competent in nature (ie; you have necessary and sufficient training; you are tested for efficacy and possess minimum competency standards to trade with the public.)
Example of Competency Standards include: MQCC™ Competency - Private Finance 001/2006-2021-CPFS
Visit PEM® Institute (PEMI®) at www.PEMInstitute.org to learn more.
at a minimum; proficient in nature (ie; you have necessary and sufficient training; you are tested for efficacy and possess minimum proficiency standards to trade with the public and lead others in the role of an authority on the subject.)
Example of Proficiency Standards include: MQCC™ Proficiency - Private Finance 001/2006-2021-PPFS
Visit PEM® Institute (PEMI®) at www.PEMInstitute.org to learn more.
so that all:
statutory requirements
regulatory requirements
industry requirements
procedural requirements
are satisfied, for each and every transaction in which you are involved; with records and evidence of conformity to be held and made available for regulatory audit or other discovery, for a period of up to seven (7) years; subject to your jurisdiction of regulation, licensure or operation.
2 - All of the following leadership roles:
regulatory bodies and regulators (Chief Executive Officers CEO; Executive Directors; Investigators; Lawyers; Market Conduct Officials)
Professional liability and errors and omissions insurer, risk underwriter, insurance agent or brokers
Lawyers with an expertise in professional negligence
Trained, Tested and Accredited Academics
Will acknowledge that the nature, quality, feature, characteristic, extent and function of financial (finance industry sector) trade classified as:
Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow
for example:
Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow loans
Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow mortgages
Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow financial sector services (methods)
Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow other financial sector services (methods) or goods (products) - fungible and non-fungible
is scientifically (precisely, exactly, empirically, materially, measurably) dissimilar to trade in traditional and general financial intermediation, namely,
Non-Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow
for example:
Non Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow loans
Non Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow mortgages
Non Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow financial sector services (methods)
Non Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow other financial sector services (methods) or goods (products)
Financial goods (products) and services (methods) provided by
(a) Central Banks (CB)
(b) Federally Regulated Financial Institutions (FRFI)
(c) other-jurisdiction-Regulated financial institutions, including those regulated by members of:
FINRA (Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; USA)
CSA (Canadian Securities Association; Canada)
FCA (Financial Conduct Authority; United Kingdom UK)
And other International equivalent bodies
scientifically (precisely, exactly, empirically, materially, measurably) dissimilar because the Kind of Activity Units KAU which produce the output of Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow goods and services are inherently not the same as the KAU which produces the output of non- goods and services, specifically, the principal productive activity accounts for most of the value added is not the same; (KAU is a definition of the OECD, United Nations and member states; see OECD/UN/WIPO/WTO Textbook written by Anoop Bungay available at Amazon® and Google Play®; entitled:
How the April 9, 2005 - World's First - Commercial Application of "Principles of 'BlockChain'" Was Influenced by Secretaries- & Directors-General of UNGA, OECD, WIPO & WTO Organizations from 2001-2005How the April 9, 2005 -World's First- Commercial Application of "Principles of 'BlockChain'" Were Influenced by Secretaries- & Directors-General of UNGA, OECD, WIPO & WTO Organizations from 2001-2005); for organizational references).
3 - In additional to Industry Sector-based differences, the Occupational differences are also dissimilar because the "tasks" which comprise the "the principal productive activity accounts for most of the value added" are separate and distinct; borne of dissimilar:
Blooms Framework
DACUM Framework
Standard Occupational Classification Framework
and dissimilar:
work performance (for both regulated and non-regulated activities and extents)
job duties
skills
education
training
testing
accreditation of educational organizations
career frameworks
standards and applications of systems, technologies and tools
degrees or other credentials generally required
and dissimilar:
competency standards
proficiency standards
and dissimilar:
organization direction and planning
organization management
organization and employee supervision
and dissimilar:
compensation to practitioners
costs and fees to applicants/borrowers
investment returns and yields to investors and lenders
and dissimilar:
professional liability; errors and omissions risk liability insurer/broker/agent underwriting standards
rates of risk; for example, all regulators and professional liability insurers will confirm that Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow finance sector transactions inherently have a higher probability of high-risk events including:
* Loss of Investor-Lender funds $$;
* Predatory behaviour of untrained Investors, Lenders, Brokers;
* Improper understanding of critical and complex residential and commercial private lending transactions;
* Insufficient or improper training, education, testing, accreditation, skills assessment of practitioners;
* Insufficient or improper standards, systems, technology and tools at both a corporation, organization and individual level (COIN™);
* Insufficient experience; 3 years for vocational standard; 4 years for bachelor degree level; 6 years for Masters (bachelor degree included); 8 years for Ph. D. level (bachelor, masters included); 12 - 15 years for expert standard; leadership level experience.
* This is not a complete list;
resulting in the causing of harm to consumers (applicants, borrowers, investors, lenders) by persons or organizations that do not possess necessary and sufficient skills, education, training, experience, organizational systems and organizational controls to effect competent or proficient delivery of goods and services of a Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow quality or nature resulting in:
* Financial $$$ penalties paid by brokers, brokerages, agents and sub-brokers due to nonconformity events including system errors, omissions and human errors and omissions;
* Regulatory complaints against brokers, agents or sub-brokers and unlicensed assistants;
* Company (brokerage) complaints;
* Statements of Claim (legal disputes);
* This is not a complete list.
Another reason is that MQCC is important is because it revolutionized the standards, systems, technologies and tools related to the origination and completion of 'private lending' or Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow finance sector transactions because:
MQCC is the Global Network Administrator GNA™ for PRIVATLENDER.ORG: Canada's Private Lending Network®; The World's Private Finance Network™
Which revolutionized mortgage origination by introducing: Professional Liability and Errors and Omissions Prevention-Integrated, Fully Indemnified Private Lender Origination for Mortgage Brokerages whose Professional Liability, Errors and Omissions Insurance companies do not classify and recognize and insure the brokerage for "primarily trading in non-bank or Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow goods (products) and services (methods)"; and therefore the organization does not possess the minimum standards of competence nor proficiency and systems, technology and infrastructure, management and supervision expected of a practitioner or organization that primarily trades in, and is insured primarily for, trade in Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow goods (products) and services (methods).

Requirement to be Licensed
In Alberta, BC and Ontario, only Licensed Mortgage agents/brokers/sub-brokers within the jurisdiction of the property may interview mortgage applicants, obtain mortgage application information and prepare a mortgage application then submit same to a lender. There is no such thing as an unlicensed co-broker. (This is NOT legal or regulatory advice).
Designated Co-Brokered Transactions
All private mortgage transactions are designated as "co-brokered" transactions. MortgageQuote acts for the investor-lender and the originating mortgage brokerage acts for the mortgage applicant, so your jurisdiction's co-broker regulations will apply.

(licensed users only please)
In Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario, (where MortgageQuote.ca is licensed), the mortgage origination business is overseen by regulatory bodies. An individual AND his or her parent company must BOTH be licensed, registered and be "in good standing" to trade or deal in mortgage transactions in one of those jurisdictions. The July 1, 2011 changes to the Agreement on Internal Trade (AIT), allow for individuals already licensed in one province, to have their occupational educational qualifications recognized by another province. Notwithstanding, in order to practice in another province, an individual is required to REGISTER with the regulatory body of the other province - so long as they are in an occupation that requires registration. "Mortgage Brokering" is an occupation that requires registration.
The recent laws have only made it easier to transfer educational requirements from one provincial jurisdiction to another, however for mortgage industry members, the requirement to register in order to trade in another province, remains. Failure to license/register and to transact in mortgages is unlawful, will void Errors and Omissions claims and will expose you and your mortgage brokerage to lawsuits for fraudulent origination or worse; by both the borrower, the lender, the regulatory authority or all.

License/Registration Test
The questions we ask to determine your license and registration requirements for any transaction, is the following:
1.1 - 'where is the location (jurisdiction) of the primary property being mortgaged?'
1.2 - 'Is the Application Referral Source, namely you, registered with the governing mortgage broker regulatory body of that jurisdiction?'
In order to ensure compliance to this requirement, it is important to ensure that you are licensed, registered and in good standing with one of the registrars. See the License Registry section below, to confirm you and your company are duly licensed, registered and in good standing.
License Registry
For Alberta mortgage transactions, your name and company information should appear in this registry: click here for RECA registry.
For British Columbia mortgage transactions, your name and company information should appear in this registry: click here for FICOM registry.
For Ontario mortgage transactions, your name and company information should appear in this registry: click here for FSCO registry and Search for FSCO Declaration of Compliance requirement.
If your name appears in either registry, this means we are able to receive mortgage applications from you.
If your name does not appear in either registry and you have taken educational courses to become a mortgage Associate or Sub-Broker and you are in the business of mortgage brokering, please ask your company compliance officer for assistance.
If your name does not appear in the either registry and you have NOT taken educational courses to become a mortgage Associate or Sub-Broker see Options for Unlicensed Individuals, below.
If your name or company name does NOT appear in the registry, and you are a licensed mortgage in another province, then you may qualify for extra-provincial registration. See Jurisdictional License Reciprocity links section, to learn more.
Options for Unlicensed Individuals
If you are not able to provide confirmation of license and registration, you have the following options:
4.1 - refer your client to a colleague who is duly registered in the jurisdiction of question, in order that they may send the file to our office for action.
4.2 - register yourself and, if necessary, your brokerage firm, with the regulatory body in the jurisdiction of question.
4.3 - you may still refer your file to MortgageQuote.ca Private Lending Services, and you would be treated as an unlicensed and unregistered 'simple referral source'. You would not be able to communicate mortgage options or negotiate terms with the applicant because you are not licensed to trade in mortgages within the jurisdiction. MortgageQuote.ca will need to undertake the communication, negotiation and fulfillment of the transction, directly with the borrower. This means you would be paid a referral fee of upto 20% of the paid origination fee to MortgageQuote.ca. The actual amount will be determined upon review of the work required for the file. Visit referrals.mortgagequote.ca to learn more.
4.4 - you would like to be in the mortgage business, the visit www.mortgagejobs.org to learn more.
Is this a new thing?
If you are a mortgage broker and this situation affects you; you may not have encountered this issue until today. If you have historically been dealing in mortgages in other provinces and no other lender has brought this to your attention, we cannot fully explain that. What we can say, however is the following:
Some lenders are so "hungry for deals" that they don't care about the origination process. Afterall, most lenders are ultimately regulated by federal laws, not necessarily provincial laws.
Caution: Most transactions go through "without a hitch" however an incorrectly originated transaction has the potential to nullify a lender's security. A borrower only needs an experienced lawyer to see the mistakes; then the lawyer can file an application with the courts for relief.
If a lender ends up losing money due to a poorly originated transaction (or worse, a smart lawyer), you can be sure that they will look to the mortgage professional who originated the mortgage, along with his or her broker and brokerage for compensation (or as a third-party to law suit). Then, an Errors and Omission (EOE) claim starts.
Problem: The problem with EOE insurers, is that they usually cover claims for transactions for the provinces in which a broker is licensed. Once an EOE insurer determines that a person was not duly licensed to practice in a province for which a claim is being filed, most likely they will refuse to assist.
The best thing is to ask your Designated Broker or Designated Individual for guidance, or read the rules of the Regulator's website in the province which you are not licensed in - but should be.
Ask your Errors & Omissions Insurer
One final note: Errors & Omissions insurers policies usually cover mortgage brokers for the provinces in which they and their licensed employees are duly registered. You should ask your EOE provider for guidance.

REFERRALS – INDUSTRY MEMBER REQUIREMENTS
Purpose: This bulletin outlines the obligations of an industry professional when they make a referral.
This bulletin applies to all industry professionals.
A “referral” means “the act of recommending or directing a person for service, assistance, or business to another person or business.” A referral in exchange for a fee or other compensation is a common practice in the real estate and mortgage brokerage industries.
Real estate, property managers and mortgage professionals must disclose that they may receive a fee or compensation to the person they are referring.
Industry professionals can only disclose client confidential information with the consent of that person.
Consent of client to disclose confidential information The person you are referring must consent to the sharing of their information for the referral. You can only share the information with the person the client agrees to share the information.
Confidential information means “any information concerning the client including the client’s financial or personal situation, the client’s real estate and the transaction involving the client.” Many referrals will involve disclosing only basic information, like name, email address and phone number. Other referrals may require more
information about a person, such as the person’s real estate, property management, mortgage or appraisal requirements, or their financial situation.
In all cases, industry professionals must receive written consent from the person whose information they will be giving to a third party before releasing that information.
Referral disclosure requirements
If an industry professional may receive a referral fee or other compensation, they must first disclose to the person subject of the referral the following:
that the industry professional will be giving the person’s confidential information to a third party service provider
what information the third party will receive such as name, phone number or email, or other confidential information
that the industry professional may receive a referral fee or other benefit from the service provider for making the referral
This disclosure must be in writing and include an acknowledgement by the client that they consent to this referral. If they do not agree, do not make the referral.
The written disclosure and acknowledgment must be part of the brokerage file. Industry professionals should know to whom they are making the
referral. If referring a client to another industry professional it is the referring industry professionals’ responsibility to take reasonable steps to ensure the person has a licence to carry out the service for the referral client.
The easy way to determine if an industry professional holds a licence with RECA is to visit RECA’s website at www.reca.ca and use “Search for
an Industry Professional”.
If referring a client to an industry professional outside of Alberta, there are several ways to determine whether that third party holds a licence in their
jurisdiction.
The Association of Real Estate Licence Law Officials (ARELLO) is an international organization that provides a “Real Estate Licence Verification” search tool on their website www.ARELLO.com. Most Canadian provinces and US states are members of ARELLO and supply ARELLO with current information.
If you cannot verify the licence status of an industry professional on www.ARELLO.com, search the website of the licensing authority in the province or state of the third party. If the website does not give an online licence search function, contact the licensing authority directly.
Do not make the referral unless you can confirm that the third party holds a licence for what you are referring your client.
You may only pay and receive referral fees through your brokerage
Referrals of clients you make are on behalf of the brokerage with which
you hold a licence. The brokerage must receive all referral fees or benefits from any referrals.
BC Co-Broker Requirements
Mortgage brokers enter into co‐brokering arrangements with other mortgage brokers when they share the responsibility to originate mortgages with other mortgage brokers. Co‐brokering differs from making mortgage referrals, as referral sources pass on potential client information to other registered brokers without participating in the origination process.
Activities which are included in the origination process include:
Meeting with borrowers;
Taking mortgage applications;
Conducting due diligence to confirm the identity of potential borrowers and to verify the application information provided to lenders;
Obtaining required consents from clients to perform credit bureau searches;
Shopping mortgage applications to lenders;
Providing mortgage commitments to borrowers and ensuring that conditions are satisfied;
Ordering appraisals; and
Preparing disclosure documents and ensuring that they are reviewed and executed by required parties.
Mortgage brokers and submortgage brokers must ensure that they do not co‐broker a mortgage transaction with a person in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario who is not registered under the Act, or with a person in another jurisdiction, who is not licensed or registered as a mortgage broker in that other jurisdiction.
Both brokers in a co‐brokering arrangement are equally liable for the mortgage transaction, and will share regulatory responsibility for compliance issues. However, if an individual in a co‐brokering arrangement is not registered, and there are regulatory compliance issues with the transaction, it is likely that the registered broker will be the focus of disciplinary proceedings.
In addition, brokers should be aware that compliance problems are more likely to occur in co‐brokered transactions with unregistered individuals. In some cases, brokers who co‐broker mortgages with unregistered individuals may be participating in fraudulent transactions.
For example, FICOM (BC Regulator) has recently received reports from industry members that an unregistered individual is presenting fully completed mortgage application forms to registered mortgage brokers and asking that they present the applications to their lenders. When mortgage brokers ask to meet with the borrowers, the unregistered individual will leave, and seek out another mortgage broker to process the application. While the true nature of the transaction is not known, there is a strong possibility that the transaction is fraudulent, and may even involve identity theft or straw buyers.
