The C131 exam is the official Insurance Institute of Canada (IIC) exam behind the Chartered Insurance Professional (CIP) certification, validating the skills measured by the IIC Advanced Skills for the Insurance Broker and Agent credential. It sits at the Professional level of the Insurance Institute of Canada (IIC) certification program. It also connects to CIP, Level 2 Insurance Broker Licence, so the knowledge you build here carries over to those tracks as well.

The C131 exam contains 100 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. Before exam day, divide the available time by the question count to work out a comfortable per-question pace, and mark any item that eats into it so you can return later instead of getting stuck. Timed sessions in the Actual4Labs test engines make that pacing automatic — run at least two full-length mock exams under the clock so time pressure never becomes the reason you drop points.

The passing score for the C131 exam is 60%, and the official registration fee is CAD 250–320 (plus tax). Retakes are not discounted — every new attempt means paying the full fee again — so it pays to measure yourself before you book. Work through the 79 practice questions on Actual4Labs, sit a timed practice test, and schedule your exam only when your scores are consistently comfortable. That simple habit is the cheapest exam strategy there is.

Recommended completion of C130: Essential Skills for the Insurance Broker and Agent Requirements can change when Insurance Institute of Canada (IIC) revises its certification program, so confirm the current eligibility rules on the official exam page before you register.
