Obtain licence security

Licence security can be obtained in several ways:

• through several contractors’ associations
• from some insurance companies
• from most surety companies.

Amount required

The amount of security required depends on your type of licence:

• $20,000 for one or many specialized subclasses (Schedules II and III – PDF (109 KB))
• $40,000 for one or many general subclasses (Schedule I – PDF (109 KB)).

If you hold both general and specialized subclasses, the required amount is $40,000.
