About Us
Our Story
Founded in 2008 by Joe J. White, author of the textbook used by both the REMIC and Seneca College courses for agent licensing, and numerous sales resources, the Real Estate and Mortgage Institute of Canada is the Institute dedicated to the mortgage brokerage industry and the life insurance industry. Mr. White founded the Institute to meet the needs of financial services professionals by focusing solely on the mortgage brokerage industry. In 2016 REMIC expanded its educational offerings to include the life insurance agent course, called the HLLQP. In doing so REMIC provides both life insurance agents and mortgage agents the ability to expand their sphere of influence and diversify their income by becoming dual licensed.
