Insurers
This section is for authorized insurers, financial institutions carrying on insurer activities in Québec, and eligible legal entities wishing to apply to be constituted as an insurer or to obtain the AMF’s authorization to carry on insurer activities.
It contains information regarding the rules governing the operation of an authorized insurer as well those related to the carrying on of insurer activities, including disclosure requirements and guidelines. The guidelines are the measures that, in the AMF’s opinion, may be taken to satisfy the legal obligations regarding sound and prudent management practices and sound commercial practices.
The supervisory framework the AMF relies on to assess the achievement of the expectations set out in each guideline is also presented in this section.
