Mortgage CRM for New Brunswick brokers: A three-month CE clock for new licensees, and clients in two languages
A mortgage CRM for New Brunswick works under FCNB and the 2014 Mortgage Brokers Act — associates and brokers authorized by a licensed brokerage, continuing education that FCNB sets course by course, and clients who may want the conversation in French. New Brunswick is officially bilingual, so a meaningful share of files need client communication in French as well as English.
Orientation, not legal or licensing advice. Rules change — confirm current requirements with FCNB. Checked against official sources September 2026.

The New Brunswick compliance calendar

- For 2026, FCNB made a New Brunswick Continuing Education Course mandatory for all brokers and associates, delivered by Mortgage Professionals Canada.
- Anyone licensed before January 21, 2026 had to complete it by March 31, 2026.
- Anyone licensed on or after January 21, 2026 must complete it within three months of their licence being issued.
- Rule MB-001 sets brokerages' ongoing obligations; we have not reproduced a retention period — confirm with FCNB. FINTRAC's five-year minimum applies regardless.
