Important Deadline Reminders for CPE & Licence Renewals

If you have already completed the online course, Hot Market Topics, and renewed your licence(s), you can disregard the rest of this email.

Reminder that all licensees who fail to complete their mandatory CPE and/or renew their licence before the deadlines will have their licences terminate effective 12:00 am on July 1, 2023. If you let your licence terminate, you must immediately cease all trading activities, including taking down signage, advertising, and social media. To have your licence reinstated after the deadline has passed, you must apply to have your licence reinstated, pay the renewal fee, and be issued a licence, at which point you may resume trading activity.
