To get your LLQP license, you need to pass all 4 modules of the Life Licensing Qualification Program. One of those that people struggle with the most is the LLQP Ethics and Professional Practice Module.
2 Versions of LLQP Ethics
Depending on which Canadian province you want to be licensed in, you may need to take a different Ethics module.
Most provinces in Canada operated under a Common Law system based off the system of law used in England. Quebec is an exception which uses a system of law called the Civil Code based off the old French system.
If you want to get your life insurance license in Quebec, the other 3 modules are the same except for the Ethics module which must be designed specifically for Quebec’s legal system.
For all other provinces and territories of Canada, the LLQP Ethics module is the same.
Contents
The Ethics and Professional Practice module is designed to help students develop an ethical professional practice and understand the rules governing the life insurance sector. This section will go over applicable laws and regulations that you will need to follow in your work.
The goal is to make sure you understand the rules you need to follow and ensure the public is protected.

anyone listed in the alumni directory.
