In the absence of government regulation, Canadians seeking competent and ethical financial planning services should look for the CFP mark. CFP certification provides assurance that the planner is committed to internationally-recognized professional standards of competence, ethics and practice as set and enforced in Canada by FPSC.
These requirements include:
-
completion of education in financial planning;
-
successful completion of rigorous standardized examinations;
-
financial planning work experience; and,
-
an ethical commitment to put the client's interest first.
CFP professionals are also held to ongoing rigorous standards through FPSC's continuing education requirements and enforcement processes.
As a certifying organization, FPSC has committed itself to meeting the highest standards of performance. FPSC has received ISO 17,024 accreditation by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) for its role as the certifying body for the CFP certification program in Canada. This demonstrates that the CFP certification program has met the highest global standards for fairness and diligence, and that the CFP designation is conferred by a body worthy of the trust of consumers, industry and financial planners alike.

5. What should I know about my travel health insurance policy?
|
It is your responsibility to know the terms of your insurance policy. Carefully read the fine print to know when your insurer is obliged to pay. Never lie about your medical history when applying for travel health insurance or you could invalidate a subsequent claim.
Obtain approval from your insurer before undergoing medical treatment. Routine health checkups, non-emergency care, and cosmetic surgery are rarely covered by travel health insurance. Coverage may also be excluded for psychiatric disorders, drug- or alcohol-related incidents, or extreme sporting activities, such as bungee jumping and rock climbing.
Some insurance companies will not honour medical claims made for injuries suffered in a country for which the Government of Canada has issued an official Travel Warning. Coverage for injuries resulting from war may also be limited.
Get a detailed invoice from the doctor or hospital before leaving a country where you have received medical treatment. There is nothing more frustrating than trying to get the proper paperwork from thousands of kilometres away. Always remember to submit original receipts for medical services or prescriptions received abroad. Keep a copy of the submitted documents for your files.
Carry details of your insurance and tell your travel agent, a travel companion, and a friend or relative at home how to contact your insurer.
