Monica and Justin discuss:
→ BC's new Mortgage Services ACT (MSA), which is officially coming into force on October 13th, 2026, and what that will mean for both brokers and brokerages alike.
→ If brokers are ready for the upcoming changes, what they are most concerned about right now, and what they need to focus more on.
→ The biggest changes coming into the province, including co-brokering agreements between brokerages, branch and personal office spaces, and most importantly, licensed assistants.
→ The new BCFAS forms, the increase in prescribed forms and packages, and what the 1A is and where it needs to be in your process.
→ How much the BC mortgage industry will change in the next 12 months and if this will lead to fewer brokers and small brokerages surviving.
