Provincial requirement
The trainee must complete at least 28 hours of work per week, over a 12- week probationary period. The trainee must be supervised by an individual who has held an active licence for a minimum of two years of the last three years.
Supervisory requirements
During the 12-week probationary period, the supervisor is responsible for all of the trainee's professional activities. The supervisor must be an individual who has held an active licence for a minimum of two years of the last three years and must approve the products and services offered by the trainee before any recommendation is made to the client. The supervisor will enter this approval in the client file, and countersign any proposal or form, in particular, notices for purposes of replacement.
A supervisor must not have more than 5 trainees under his responsibility at any time. The AMF may, particularly during inspections, ask to see evidence of meetings with the trainee or of the entry in the client's file of the trainee's work review by the supervisor, if it deems necessary. If one of the obligations is not met, the AMF may suspend the right to act as a supervisor for a period of 1 year.
