TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)describes "fronting" as an unethical practice where an agent allows another agent to be listed as the agent of record for a sale they did not perform, often to share commissions improperly. Mike listing Todd as the agent of record for a sale he completed himself is fronting, done here to repay a personal favor. Tied selling (A) involves conditional sales, churning (C) is policy replacement for commissions, and misrepresentation (D) involves false statements to clients, none of which apply. Fronting undermines fair compensation practices, making B correct.

Disability insurance policies typically include a waiting period (also called an elimination period), which is the time between the onset of disability and when benefits begin. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)notes that insurers require the date of disability onset—via an APS—to calculate this period (e.g., 30, 60, or 90 days). This ensures benefits are paid only after the waiting period elapses. A survival period (A) applies to life insurance, not disability. The incontestability period (B) relates to policy validity, not claim timing. The grace period (C) pertains to premium payments. Knowing when Molly became disabled is critical for the waiting period, making D correct.

In group insurance, the plan sponsor is typically the employer or entity that establishes and maintains the group benefits plan for its employees or members. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)explains that the sponsor is responsible for arranging the plan, often in collaboration with an insurer or association, but it is the employer (or firm) that formally sponsors it for its employees. Here, Tax Time Ltd., as Oscar’s firm, is the employer entity setting up the plan for its five employees, making it the plan sponsor. Oscar, as an individual, is not thesponsor; the association facilitates the plan but does not sponsor it for Tax Time Ltd.’s employees; and the insurer provides the coverage but does not act as the sponsor. Thus, option B is correct.

Life insurance agents are generally required to deliver the insurance contract to the client within a “reasonable time” to ensure that the client is promptly informed of the policy’s terms and conditions. This standard is set to prevent undue delays that might affect the client's rights and their free look period. While no specific timeframe is always mandated, it is commonly understood within the LLQP guidelines that timely delivery is essential for compliance​​. Therefore, Olivier can reasonably wait until after his weekend to deliver the contract on Tuesday, as this would still fall within a reasonable time.

In group life insurance plans, the employee (insured individual) is typically responsible for designating their own beneficiary. Although Premier Vibe Inc. sponsors the group plan, it is Ae-Cha, as the policyholder, who has the right to choose her beneficiary for the life insurance coverage provided under the plan​​. The employer or the insurer does not decide the beneficiary; this decision remains solely with the insured employee.

TheCanadian Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL)governs the sending of commercial electronic messages (CEMs), such as emails or newsletters, to recipients in Canada. According to CASL, businesses must obtain consent—either express or implied—before sending CEMs to individuals. Since Bryan’s newsletter is a new initiative and none of the recipients have subscribed or requested it, Josh and Bryan lack consent, making CASL the primary law they must comply with. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)highlights CASL under ethical businesspractices, noting that non-compliance can result in significant penalties. The Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) deals with the collection and use of personal information, not unsolicited messages specifically. The Privacy Act applies to federal government institutions, and the National Do Not Call List pertains to telemarketing calls, not emails. Thus, option B is correct.

Under Canadian common law and insurance principles, claims can be denied if the insured’s death or disability results from illegal activities. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)notes that exclusions in group insurance policies often include losses due to criminal acts. Here, Omar and Martha were engaged in theft and robbery—illegal activities—when the accident occurred. Martha’s death and Omar’s disability directly resulted from this criminal behavior. As a result, the insurer can deny both the death benefit (payable to Omar as Martha’s beneficiary) and Omar’s disability benefit under the policy’s exclusions. Paying either benefit (A, C, D) contradicts the principle that insurance does not cover losses from illegal acts. Thus, B is correct.

TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)clarifies that acting as a deposit broker—facilitating the opening of a bank account—does not require a specific license beyond whatCecilia already holds as an insurance agent, provided it’s incidental to her insurance duties. She’s not selling bank products (A), and prior delivery (C) or deposit size (D) aren’t conditions for this. Assisting Tony with a savings account for premium payments is permissible without additional licensing, making B correct.

Under Canadian insurance law, a policy typically takes effect when there is a meeting of the minds (offer and acceptance) and the contract is finalized, often marked by the policyholder’s acceptance of the terms and conditions. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)notes that for individual insurance policies, coverage begins when the policy is delivered and accepted by the insured, provided the first premium is paid or arranged. In Miguel’s case, he signed and accepted the policy and amendment at the delivery appointment, and the premium payment was arranged (via void cheque) with a mutually agreed delay of three days. The policy does not take effect at application (A) unless specified, nor at notice of approval (B) alone, nor solely when the premium is drawn (D). Acceptance at signing (C) aligns with contract formation principles, making it the correct answer.

TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)states that only licensed agents can receive compensation for insurance referrals, and payments contingent on sales are prohibited for unlicensed individuals. Jamie is no longer an agent, and the flat fee is contingent on sales, violating regulatory rules. Her past licensure (A) doesn’t permit this, client awareness (B) doesn’t override the licensing requirement, and the flat fee structure (D) isn’t the issue—contingency is. This protects against unlicensed solicitation, making C correct.
