Thank you for your interest in applying to become a CAMLA member. Please ensure that you have read and are willing to abide by the terms outlined in the CAMLA Code of Conduct before proceeding.
Membership is open to organizations that meet the definition of a Mortgage Investment Entity (MIE). An MIE includes, but is not limited to, Mortgage Investment Corporations (MICs), mutual fund trusts, syndicators, limited partnerships, or corporate lending entities that use investor capital specifically to provide mortgage loans secured by real property.
To be eligible for CAMLA membership, an organization must meet all of the following criteria:
- Use investor capital solely for the purpose of making loans to one or more borrowers secured by real estate.
- Be duly licensed and regulated in all applicable Canadian jurisdictions.
- Comply with all relevant federal and provincial requirements related to capital raising, mortgage lending, mortgage brokering, mortgage administration, Anti-Money Laundering (AML), and privacy legislation.
All MIEs engaging in capital-raising activities must conduct those activities through one or more of the following registrants, each in good standing with the applicable securities regulators:
- An Exempt Market Dealer (EMD)
- A CIRO Dealer Member
- A registered Portfolio Manager (PM)
- An Investment Fund Manager (IFM)
- Any combination of the above
Applicants are not required to use a captive or specific third-party dealer. All capital-raising activity must be conducted through a qualified and compliant registrant.
All CAMLA Members are required to:
- Comply at all times with CAMLA’s By-Laws, Policies, and Code of Conduct
- Pay all membership dues, fees, and assessments as established by CAMLA
