Project Reframe
Our national career rebranding campaign is a strategic effort to attract new talent to the insurance industry. Insurance is often subjected to outdated stereotypes, therefore the goal of Project Reframe is to demonstrate industry careers in their current and fresh context, and to show new audiences that p&c careers are dynamic and desirable. Phase three of the initiative launched in January 2026 and builds on the strong successes of the first two phases.

Standardized Auto Reform (SABS)
Ontario’s Standardized Auto Reform comes into effect on July 1, 2026. To ensure brokers/agents and other p&c professionals are equipped to guide Ontario’s auto insurance consumers through the changes, the Insurance Institute of Ontario has partnered with the Insurance Brokers Association of Ontario (IBAO) and the Ontario Mutual Insurance Association (OMIA) in developing a free, RIBO accredited, on-demand training course. The training provides a standardized overview of the regulatory changes to ensure consistent knowledge across the industry and a smooth transition to the new regulations for consumers.

CIP Review
Over recent years the Insurance Institute has undertaken a comprehensive review of its flagship designation program to ensure it continues to meet the needs of stakeholders from industry to student. Rollout of the recommended enhancements wraps up during 2026, including transition of the Enabling Skills modules from their current optional status to a required component of the CIP. The self-paced, video-based learning modules address critical skills needs identified by p&c industry representatives.
