Stay Compliant: Updates to CREA's FINTRAC Regime Materials and Upcoming Webinar

By CREB®
Canada’s anti-money laundering (AML) regulations are shifting again—and CREA is updating its FINTRAC Regime materials to help REALTORS® stay compliant. 

The latest updates reflect the legislative and regulatory changes stemming from Canada’s tariff response to recent U.S. trade threats, which are set to come into force Oct. 1.

According to the March 7 news release from the Government of Canada’s Department of Finance,

“The amendments [to Canada’s Anti-Money Laundering and Anti-Terrorist Financing (AML/ATF) framework] will greatly improve efforts to combat money laundering and its link to transnational crime and drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, and complement the Government of Canada’s Border Plan as well as the recently announced creation of a Canada-U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime and maintain the integrity of our shared border.” 

Starting Sept. 1, 2025, you’ll find the new materials on CREA’s Member Portal. They’ve been designed to make it easier to understand your responsibilities and apply them in day-to-day business.

To walk you through the updates, CREA is also hosting a member webinar on Sept. 10, 2025. This session will highlight the most important changes, explain how they affect your real estate practice, and answer your questions live.

Save the Date:

  • Webinar Date: Sept. 10, 2025
  • Where: Online (register via Member Portal)

Action: Visit the CREA Member Portal on Sept. 1 to access the updated resources and register for the Sept. 10 webinar to stay ahead of your compliance obligations.

Register for the 2025 FINTRAC Update Information Session.
