Process for Catastrophe Adjusters (CAT)

CISRO recently released its Principles for Adjuster Authorization During Natural Catastrophes and Disasters. Developed by CISRO’s multi-jurisdictional Adjuster Licensing Committee, the Principles for Adjuster Authorization During Natural Catastrophes and Disaster offer a clear framework that supports regulatory flexibility, coordination across jurisdictions, and consumer-focused outcomes. This initiative is an important step in CISRO's broader efforts to foster insurance workforce mobility across Canada.

The frequency and severity of catastrophic events such as wildfires, floods and severe storms continues to rise, CISRO's Principles for Adjuster Authorization During Natural Catastrophes and Disasters provides guidance to Canadian regulators to facilitate timely deployment of qualified adjusters while maintaining oversight that protects consumers.

In response, the Insurance Councils of Saskatchewan (ICS) developed the following process for non-resident Property & Casualty (P&C) Adjusters who are looking to assist Saskatchewan Adjusters during a catastrophic event.

Process:

Non-resident Property & Casualty (P&C) Adjusters who are looking to assist Saskatchewan Adjusters during a catastrophic event must obtain a Property and Casualty Adjuster Licence online. ICS understands the urgency in obtaining this licence and will strive to issue the licence as quickly as possible.

The process is as follows:

  • Visit our website www.skcouncil.sk.ca
  • Create an account:
  • Click Register an Account and choose Individual
    • Complete the Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) process.
    • Once registered, select Start Application and choose the Adjuster Application.
  • Complete the application:
    • Attach a copy of your home jurisdiction licence.
    • If you have a criminal record check completed within the last 6 months, upload it.
    • If you do not have a criminal record check, this requirement will be temporarily waived. If you continue with your licence, you will need to provide a criminal record check at your annual return date (1 year from licence issuance).
    • Upload a Word document in the Criminal Record Check section stating: “You are applying as a CAT Adjuster Licence”.
    • Provide a recommender who is licensed in Saskatchewan as an Adjusting Firm.
    • Pay the $125 licence fee online by MasterCard, Visa or American Express.
