Thinking of Becoming a Mortgage Agent in Saskatchewan? Here’s What You Need to Know

If you’re looking for a career that offers flexibility, independence, and the chance to help people achieve homeownership, becoming a mortgage agent in Saskatchewan might be the perfect fit. Whether you’re switching industries or just starting out, here’s a quick overview of how to get licensed and start your journey.

Step 1: Know the Role

Mortgage agents—called Mortgage Associates in Saskatchewan—connect homebuyers with lenders. They help clients find the right mortgage product, explain the fine print, and guide them through one of life’s biggest financial decisions.

All mortgage professionals in Saskatchewan are licensed through the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority (FCAA) and must work under a licensed brokerage.

Step 2: Take the Required Course

Before you can apply for your license, you’ll need to complete an approved Mortgage Associate education course. It’s offered online by Mortgage Professionals Canada, making it easy to complete on your schedule. The course teaches you the basics of mortgage lending, rules, and client responsibilities.

Step 3: Apply for Your License

Once you’ve passed the course, you can apply through Saskatchewan’s online licensing system. You’ll need to:

· Be at least 18 years old and a Canadian resident

· Submit a recent criminal record check

· Be authorized to work with one brokerage

· Pay the application fees

Step 4: Join a Mortgage Brokerage
