Hail Agent and Adjuster Information
- Please refer to the User Guides when wishing to apply for a licence - this applies to all amendments, reinstatements, new applicants, late renewals (classified as a reinstatement), or those wishing to apply for a supplementary licence (additional licence).
Individuals who qualify are former licensees who last held a licence within the past 12 months. Former licensees who held a licence over 12 months ago would not qualify for a reinstatement, and would be considered “NEW” applicants.
There are two (2) types of reinstatements:
- Reinstatement for a former licensee who last held a Manitoba licence within the same insurance class within this licence year but the licence has since been cancelled.
OR - Reinstatement and Renewal for a former licensee who last held a Manitoba licence within the same insurance class in the prior licence year but within the past 12 months.
Steps to apply for a reinstatement include the following:
- Full completion of the online “reinstatement” application form – login to the Online Portal, and follow the steps in the User Guide – to Reinstate a Licence for assistance.
- The reinstatement fee of $70.00 must be paid within the online application by credit card (VISA or MASTERCARD only).
- All other items as outlined within the quick checklist in the User Guide – to Reinstate a Licence. Please note that criminal record checks are NOT required for reinstatement purposes unless the former licensee’s criminal history has changed (not applicable to Restricted Insurance Agents).
- Additional items required for “Reinstatement and Renewal” (those who failed to renew by May 31 – within 12 months):
- The annual licence fee (fees are outlined within the fee schedule) – only required when reinstating and renewing the licence, and must be paid within the online application by credit card (VISA or MASTERCARD only); and
- Entry of the annual Continuing Education (CE) hours in the online portal (not applicable to Hail agents, Restricted Insurance Agents or non-residents residing in a Canadian jurisdiction that has CE requirements in the agent’s home jurisdiction). Refer to the information in the User Guide – Instructions to enter your continuing education credits to assist you with entering these credit hours.
Important Note: Applications submitted to the ICM office that are missing items are considered incomplete and will be returned to the applicant for completion, thus delaying the potential issuing of a licence.
