The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario has released updated Annual Information Returns for the mortgage brokering sector, introducing shorter and easier-to-complete forms for mortgage brokerages and mortgage administrators. The changes are intended to reduce administrative burden while maintaining the collection of data FSRA uses for risk-based supervision and monitoring. Preview versions of the revised returns are available on FSRA's website, along with new informational guides to help firms understand the questionnaires and complete the filing process more efficiently. The updated returns and guides will also be available through FSRA's Licensing Link portal by December 2026, with the filing window opening in early January 2027. FSRA said it intends to keep the AIRs broadly consistent over the next three years, limiting changes to those considered necessary to provide greater clarity and predictability for annual filings.
