Why BrokerUnion
A natural home for multilingual brokers
Diversity is not a policy statement here. It is how the brokerage grew and how our clients are served every day.
Your language is a professional asset here
Ontario clients want to discuss coverage, deductibles, and claims in the language they think in. Brokers who can do that build trust faster and retain clients longer. At BrokerUnion, the language you speak is part of your value, not a side note on your resume.
A licensing path open to newcomers
The RIBO Level 1 licence requires you to be 18, an Ontario resident, and legally entitled to work in Canada. It does not require Canadian work experience, Canadian credentials, or a degree. For many newcomers it is the fastest route into a regulated professional career.
Training that assumes you are starting fresh
A full-time training specialist, in-house RIBO licensing support, a centralized training platform, and mentorship from experienced producers mean you learn the Ontario market on the job rather than being expected to arrive with it.
Communities served from local offices
Our six offices sit in some of Ontario's most diverse communities. Brokers here often serve the neighbourhoods they live in, referring and being referred within their own community networks.
Advancement based on results, not tenure
The path from broker to senior producer to branch director to funded branch owner is open to anyone producing results. Several of our top producers built their books after arriving in Canada.
A culture that reflects Ontario
IBAO named BrokerUnion Brokerage of the Year in 2022 and Today's Broker Magazine featured us on the cover for talent development. Our stated goal is to be the brokerage most welcoming to new people entering this industry.
Languages on our team
Ontario served in 25+ languages
If your language is not on this list, we would still like to hear from you. Every new language on the team opens a new community.
