Notice Relating to Filing of Annual Returns and Documents for Québec-authorized Damage (P&C) Insurers for Fiscal Year Ending December 31, 2024

The Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) requires all Québec-authorized damage and reinsurance insurers to electronically file their annual returns, financial statements, capital adequacy tests, and actuarial reports for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2024. Most documents must be submitted within sixty days of the fiscal year end, while specific filings such as audited financial statements and certain peer reviews carry extended deadlines extending into 2025. Failure to submit complete and timely filings subjects insurers to monetary administrative penalties under the Insurers Act.

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 December 31, 2024. 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.
