Under the Mortgage Brokerages, Lenders and Administrators Act, are there exemptions for providing referrals?
The Mortgage Brokerages, Lenders and Administrators Act, 2006 exempts individuals from requiring a licence if they are only providing referrals that give limited information. This exemption allows an individual to provide limited information about a borrower to a potential mortgage lender, or provide limited information about a potential mortgage lender to a borrower for a fee. For more details on this topic please refer to Ontario Regulation 407/07 (Exemptions from the Requirements to be Licensed).
