Insurance Institute of Canada

The Insurance Institute of Canada (IIC) is a not-for-profit professional standards and education organization serving Canada's property and casualty (P&C) insurance industry. It administers nationally standardized designation programs, licensing exam preparation, and continuing education for brokers, underwriters, adjusters, agents, and risk managers across all Canadian provinces.

The organization's principal programs include the CIP (Chartered Insurance Professional), ACIP (Advanced CIP), and FCIP (Fellow CIP) designations, alongside specialized certificates in commercial insurance, risk management, and managing general agent operations. IIC also operates the Ignite Insurance Careers program to attract new professionals to the P&C sector, and manages Project Reframe -- a national awareness campaign now in its third phase -- to modernize the image of insurance as a career choice.

Governed by a Board of Governors drawn from major Canadian insurance employers, IIC operates through 19 provincial institutes and chapters that deliver programs locally. It serves over 41,000 members including more than 20,000 active students and 18,000+ CIP designation graduates, and administers exam and licensing services aligned with provincial regulatory requirements across Canada.
