I will have been an active agent for several years by that time. As far as I am aware, the only program for converting a license or registration from elsewhere is the Interprovincial Challenge Examination, which is for people arriving in Ontario from elsewhere in Canada. There are two simulation sessions one for residential real estate and one for commercial real estate.
So, you get to test your knowledge in simulated real-life situations. Hi, Thanks for sharing all these points. I need a few clarifications: 1. How fast can a person go to become a licensed Real Estate Sales person. Is it possible to clear all the exams sequentially in 2 months, if someone is totally free to prepare? Once some clear all the exams and registered with RECO, can he start selling immediately?
Or he needs to wait for some period to start? As you mentioned that there are so many different Brokerages in the Ontario Market. What is eXp Realty? I heard a lot about them through online. Are they a different kind of Brokerage house? Hi Anil, 1. Because each step has to be taken sequentially, you cannot register for the next step until you have completed the previous step.
Generally, it takes at least nine months to go through all the steps. Once you have passed the exams and registered with RECO, you can begin to work as a real estate salesperson straight away, although you will need to work under a broker of record at a brokerage.
Different brokerages have different fees and commission splits. Most brokerages will charge some kind of fees for salespeople — they could be desk fees, franchise fees, offices fees or a combination. At Living Realty, we are unique in that we do not charge any such fees. It appears that they are a brokerage. Humber College offers online learning options and they also have options to take the examinations online. I also live in Northern Ontario and planning to take a course soon.

If any body has criminal record in the past, can he get license? So there is no need to have a Canadian green card to work as a real estate agent in Ontario? Is Humber the only place to take the course? Is Humber College the only school that offers courses? Currently, yes. It may change in the future. Can international students get an education visa for the Real Estate Salesman program?
Thank you so much for all your help. What if you live in Northern Ontario and can not get to the college physically for the Sims? You will also most likely need to have your own laptop and mode of transportation. The best way to understand the market in Toronto is to be there yourself.
Living in the area, previously or currently, will help you understand what your clients are looking or asking for. Speak to professionals in the industry before even getting started. Hear what they have to say about their career and if they thought the costs, and long-term costs, are worth it. Most professionals will probably tell you the best, most satisfying feeling, was making that first sale.
