In Ontario Durham College administers the HLLQP licensing examinations.

Step 1: Pass the Approved Course for Licensing (HLLQP)

This qualifies you to write the 4 provincial licensing exams.

Passing the course means passing the 4 HLLQP Online Certification Examinations that are PROCTORED online, with webcam and microphone required. These consist of Life Insurance, Ethics and professional practice, Accident and Sickness and Segregated Funds.

Each online examination consists of 30 multiple choice questions (except the Ethics and professional practice examination; it consists of 20 multiple choice questions).
