All real estate, mortgage brokerage, and condominium management licences expire on September 30 each year unless the licence is renewed, regardless of when it was issued.
If you wish to continue practicing on October 1, you must complete your online licence renewal – including payment of your licensing renewal fee – through myRECA no later than September 30.
Licensees initiate their own online licence renewal applications through their myRECA accounts. When a non-broker licensee has completed their licence renewal application, it will be submitted to their broker for review. We will email the broker when this happens.
Non-brokers (i.e. associates and associate brokers) cannot renew their licence until their broker and brokerage have renewed their licences. We will email non-broker licensees when this occurs.
We encourage you to complete your licence renewal well before the renewal deadline. RECA’s call and email volumes increase dramatically as the deadline draws closer.
If any events described in Section 40 of the Real Estate Act Rules have occurred, you must notify the Registrar about the event(s) before you can renew your licence.
Failure to report an event(s) prior to renewing may result in sanction or suspension or cancellation of your licence.
Refer to this Guide to Notifying the Registrar and page 5 of the Navigating My Account myRECA Tutorial for more information.
Brokers must report any amendments captured in Section 32 of the Real Estate Act Rules that have not already been reported to the registrar. Visit the Brokerage Amendments page on our website for more information. Failure to report an amendment(s) prior to renewing may result in sanction or suspension/cancellation of the brokerage’s licence.
Brokers who own 50% or less of their brokerage must have a Brokerage Renewal Suitability Questions form completed by one of the brokerage’s officers, directors, or partners before completing the online broker/brokerage renewal. Renewing broker/brokerage licences without having this completed form may result in sanction or suspension/cancellation of the brokerage’s licence. Brokers do not need to submit the completed form to RECA but must keep it on file at the brokerage.
