TO AGENCY EXECUTIVE OFFICERS • Mandatory continuing education session on the new Act You can now check your brokers’ status

As executive officer of your agency, you can now check the status of brokers acting on your behalf concerning the mandatory continuing education activity on the new Real Estate Brokerage Act.

All brokers must have attended the mandatory continuing education activity on the new Act by January 31, 2011, failing which their licence will be suspended.

Consequently, we strongly urge you to encourage the brokers acting on your behalf to register immediately for this mandatory education activity. If they delay too long, they could be forced to travel a long distance to attend the education activity in another region.

All available dates are on Synbad
To this effect, please note that the last available dates on the October, November, December and January schedules are posted on Synbad and that no further dates will be added. You may access the schedule by clicking on the heading Mandatory continuing education activity – New Real Estate Brokerage Act.

So far the OACIQ has successfully covered all Québec regions in order to introduce real estate brokers to the new Act. It is important to note that the OACIQ will return to some regions only one time more. Please inform your brokers without delay, as it would be unfortunate for them not to be able to attend a session in the region of their choice!

We remind you that 80% of Québec’s 18,000 real estate brokers have already received their CEU for attending the mandatory continuing education activity on the new Act, or have registered and reserved their spot on the schedule.

If you require additional details, please contact an information agent from your Info OACIQ Centre at 450 462-9800 or 1 800 440-7170, or by email at info@oaciq.com
