You will have seen some confusing messaging from OMVIC lately on Extended Warranties.
https://tinyurl.com/mu6m3xxn and https://tinyurl.com/mw6h2cfk This is caused by a problem of their own creation in 2022 when
OMVIC decided to stop listing, for the benefit of dealers and consumers,
warranty companies that had satisfied OMVIC as to their insured status. We have been trying to get them to reverse this decision ever since, without success, as usual.
They seem to expect dealers to do this themselves, while at the same time warning dealers they can be prosecuted if they sell an uninsured or unsecured warranty to a consumer. We have told OMVIC dealers do not have the time, resources or expertise to do this effectively, and put themselves and their customers at risk without support from the regulator.
OMVIC is more concerned with their own liability than they are about protecting consumers or, goodness forbid, helping dealers.
For our members, the UCDA maintains such a list, which we try to update every couple of years, but the last one OMVIC had that we have been able to locate is from May 28, 2022 and is reproduced below.
Secured – Insured Third Party Warranty Companies
The UCDA’s list can be found here, we last updated it in April of 2025, and plan to do it again next year:

Letter of Credit Secured Warranty Companies
While we recommend dealers use insured warranty products, warranty companies secured by letters of credit are also legal to sell in Ontario. OMVIC’s list of warranty companies secured by a letter of credit is more up to date and can be found here:
