Administrative Guidance

An application under any of the legislative authorities:

  • is required to be submitted to the Superintendent for approval only in an instance where an application is not already deemed to be approved by the Superintendent because the FI has not adopted materiality criteria at least as stringent as those set out in OSFI’s E-6 bulletins on materiality criteria for related party transactions: Materiality Criteria for Related Party Transactions for banks, trust and loan companies, and cooperative credit associations; Materiality Criteria for Related Party Transactions of Life Insurance Companies; and, Materiality Criteria for Related Party Transactions of Property and Casualty Insurance Companies

The information requirements and administrative guidance are intended to satisfy typical applications. They have been derived from OSFI’s experience in assessing applications. Applicants who provide all information and material requested can generally expect a more timely assessment of their applications. As appropriate to the circumstances, OSFI may request additional information, take into account other matters, impose terms and conditions, or require undertakings.
