The regulator
What is FSRA, and what does it regulate?
Why it matters
What does licensing mean for you?
Working with a licensed brokerage matters for a few practical reasons:
Standards of conduct. Licensed brokerages are expected to meet regulatory requirements for how they deal with you.
Accountability. There is a regulator and a complaints path if something goes wrong.
Transparency. Licensing ties the business to a verifiable record you can check.
To be clear about the limits: licensing is about regulation and conduct. It does not mean any particular rate or approval is promised. Your mortgage is always subject to qualification and lender assessment.

Broker, agent, or lender: what is the difference?

- A mortgage brokerage arranges mortgages between borrowers and lenders.
- A broker or agent is the licensed individual who does that work.
- A lender is the institution that actually provides the money.
