Is the ILS Level 1 equivalent to the CAIB Level 1? Or, will I still be required to write the CAIB exam? (British Columbia)
Hi Shannon, yes successful completion of the ILS Level 1 Program will enable you to obtain your Level 1 General Insurance License (BC, SK, MB)

I already have my Level 1 General Insurance (BC) but I am looking at relocating to Alberta. What would I need to do to be able to work as a sales agent there?
Thanks so much.
Hi Cassi, you may be exempt from taking the Alberta Level 1 Exam. Your best bet is to contact the Alberta Insurance Council, but this is directly from the Alberta Council website.
Non-residents who are licensed in their home jurisdiction may be exempt from Alberta’s exam if they can demonstrate that they have passed an exam that is equivalent to Alberta’s approved exam. If license status confirmation can be obtained from the web site of the licensing authority in your home jurisdiction, a non-resident endorsement will not be required.
You can find more information here:

If you do have to write the Alberta Level 1 Exam, ILScorp offers an AB Level 1 Exam Prep course.

Good luck with your relocation!
Hi,
Just want to ask If I am looking to achieve my CAIB designation. I have to get CAIB 1-4. what if i only passed my ILS Level 1 Program? would I have to take the CAIB 1 exam in order to get all 4 CAIB? or will ILS leve 1 is good enough for me to obtain my level 4? thanks
Hi Leon, successful completion of the ILS level 1 program will enable you to apply for your Level 1 General Insurance License, so yes in order to receive your CAIB designation you would need to successfully complete all 4 of the CAIB exams.
CAIB 1: General Insurance. CAIB 2: Commercial Insurance. CAIB 3: Commercial Insurance. CAIB 4: Brokerage Management.
Keep in mind you do not need to complete the CAIB Programs in order. You could take the ILScorp Level 1 course, get your level 1 license and start working in the insurance industry. You could then complete your CAIB 2 and CAIB 3 to achieve your Level 2 General Insurance license. Then you would need to complete both CAIB 1 and CAIB 4 to achieve the CAIB designation. Alternately you could start with CAIB 1 to obtain your level 1 license and move on to the other CAIBS from there.
ILScorp offers CAIB Exam Preparation courses, but the exams are administered by your provincial brokers association.
