What is CIPR?

CIPR stands for Canadian Insurance Participant Registry.

It is a registry of everybody who works or intends to work in the Life or Health insurance field in Canada.

This is your personal identification number - you will need to have this on hand each time you speak with your regulatory body.

It is an independent registry managed by the Alberta Insurance Council on behalf of all insurance regulators in Canada.

Registering on the CIPR website and having a CIPR number is a mandatory prerequisite for any person who wishes to study the Accident & Sickness or Life Licensing Qualification Program.
