Common Delays That May Impact a Smooth Renewal in May 2024
FROM THE INSURANCE COUNCIL OF MANITOBA
Renewal will be open in May, and the ICM will advise all licence holders via email when they may proceed with their renewal application.
Renewal 2023 showed that 455 renewal applications were flagged for manual review by the ICM. Of the 455 applications, 218 required review due to a disclosure of an additional occupation that was not previously reported to the ICM. This delayed the renewal of their licences, and in some instances, delayed their ability to renew prior to the deadline of May 31.

Here are the key points to remember:

As of April 1, 2024, reference periods will begin on April 1 in an even-numbered year rather than January 1 and are to last 24 months (for example, the following reference period will run from April 1, 2024, to March 31, 2026).
