TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)defines "trafficking" (or "policy trafficking") as the unethical practice of arranging the sale or transfer of an insurance policy to a third party, typically for less than its face value, often involving vulnerable clients like seniors. Here, David is facilitating Craig selling his $150,000 policy for $50,000 to a businessman, which fits this definition. Churning (A) involves replacing policies to earn commissions, anti-selection (B) refers to adverse risk selection by clients, and tied selling (D) links product purchases. Trafficking violates ethical standards and insurable interest principles, making C correct.

TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)states that only licensed agents can receive compensation for insurance referrals, and payments contingent on sales are prohibited for unlicensed individuals. Jamie is no longer an agent, and the flat fee is contingent on sales, violating regulatory rules. Her past licensure (A) doesn’t permit this, client awareness (B) doesn’t override the licensing requirement, and the flat fee structure (D) isn’t the issue—contingency is. This protects against unlicensed solicitation, making C correct.

In Ontario, married members of a defined benefit pension plan (DBPP) are typically required to provide at least a 50% survivor benefit to their spouse upon their death unless the spouse waives this right. LLQP materials covering pension plans indicate that this spousal protection is standard for defined benefit plans, and Maria's pension would provide at least 50% to Juan as the surviving spouse​​.

Options like reducing the survivor benefit below 50% are generally not permitted under Ontario pension law, and a waiver must be in place for any changes​.

TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)outlines that to process a life insurance claim, insurers typically require: (1) a completed claim form, (2) proof of death (usually a death certificate), and (3) proof of the insured’s age (e.g., birth certificate) to verify policy terms. Here, Josh needs: (i) Proof of Age to confirm Linda’s identity and policy details; (iii) Claim Form as the formal submission; and (iv) Death Certificate as proof of death. Place of Death (ii) is not a standard requirement unless specified, and a Coroner’s Report (v) is only needed in cases of unusual circumstances (not indicated here). Thus, D—(i), (iii), and (iv)—is correct.
