October 31, 2025 – Insurers of persons (life and health insurers) authorized to carry on activities in
Québec
Under the Insurers Act, CQLR, c. A-32.1 (the « Act »), every authorized insurer must prepare and send the
Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF), according to the form, content and date the AMF determines, the
documents and information provided under the Act or requested by the AMF (the « required documents and
information »).
All required documents and information must be filed electronically via AMF E-Services.
See the Appendices attached to this Notice detailing specific requirements for the documents to be filed for
the fiscal year ending October 31, 2025.
A complete set of the signed documents must be kept at the insurer’s premises so that they are available
for examination by the AMF, if necessary.
Monetary administrative penalties
We remind you that each insurer is responsible for ensuring that the AMF receives, on the dates it
determines, all required documents and information.
Pursuant to sections 491 and following of the Act, monetary administrative penalties may be imposed if an
authorized insurer fails to send the required documents and information to the AMF or if they are
incomplete or filed late or if it refuses to communicate or provide access to the documents.
Electronic submission of financial returns and other documents
The E-Services Disclosure Guide (Insurers) explains the procedure for submitting files via AMF E-Services
and provides instructions for, among other things, naming files. The guide is available on the AMF website
