The licensing of a Mortgage Broker in Canada is regulated by the various provincial authorities under the Ministry of Finance. Quebec is unique in all of North America as its laws are based on the Civil Code. The law permits mortgage brokerage to be performed by those in the finance industry, as well as those in the real estate industry.
A Mortgage Broker or mortgage advisor is an individual who is a registered, licensed and trained mortgage specialist helping his or her clients with their home financing needs.

How a Mortgage Broker gets paid?
A mortgage broker is not paid a salary by the mortgage broker company he is licensed with. Instead he or she receives a fee or commission as financial compensation for bringing a mortgage business to a mortgage lender. An independent Mortgage Broker can access the mortgage products of mortgage lenders who are funding deals through their Mortgage Broker Centres.

These Mortgage Specialists may be paid a basic salary and sales commission on deals they successfully funded through their banks. Some of these specialists may be paid solely on commission on t he deals that they done with the banks.
