Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to get a real estate license in Mississauga?
Total cost is roughly $4,500-$7,500 CAD — same as anywhere in Ontario. Breakdown: Humber pre-registration program (~$3,400-$5,000), RECO registration (~$590), insurance (~$420 first year), background check (~$35), brokerage onboarding fees. Cost-of-living during the 6-9 month study period varies by city; Mississauga's $980K-$1.10M median home price gives a rough sense of local cost pressure.
How long does it take to get licensed in Mississauga?
The Humber pre-registration program takes 6-9 months for most candidates working a day job (10-15 study hours/week). Full-time students can finish in 3-4 months. After completing the program, RECO registration typically takes 2-4 weeks. The license is valid throughout Ontario, not specific to your city.
Where do I write the real estate exam if I live in Mississauga?
The nearest Meazure Learning testing centre is Mississauga or Toronto (15-30 min). Humber program exams and Simulation Sessions are administered through Meazure's network across Ontario. Bring photo ID and arrive 30 minutes early. Some candidates choose centres in nearby cities for scheduling convenience.
Which real estate board serves Mississauga?
Mississauga agents typically join the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB). Board membership is required to access MLS and most listing tools. Membership is separate from RECO registration; you must hold both. Joining a brokerage in Mississauga usually walks you through the board membership step at onboarding.
Is the Humber real estate program the only option for Mississauga candidates?
Currently, Humber Polytechnic is the primary RECO-approved provider for the Ontario Real Estate Salesperson Program. As of late 2025, RECO authorized additional providers (Algonquin College, Fleming College, Career College Group) but Humber remains the dominant choice. The exam content and license outcome are identical regardless of provider.
Can I work as a real estate agent in Mississauga without joining a brokerage?
No. Ontario law requires every registered salesperson to operate under a registered brokerage's supervision. You cannot trade in real estate directly with the public as a sole practitioner. The brokerage handles trust accounts, supervises transactions, and provides E&O insurance coverage. You must find and join a brokerage within 12 months of completing the Humber program or your registration lapses.
