Ontario home inspectors will now have to have minimum qualifications to work in the trade starting in Fall 2012. Until recently, Alberta and British
Columbia were the only provinces that required home inspectors to be
licensed. The province will now work with the home inspection industry to
establish minimum qualifications that would increase transparency,
establish a minimum level of training, improve consistency in home
inspections and enhance consumer protection.
To become a certified national home inspector, a candidate must write
a qualification exam. Based on the results of this exam and a
background review, the candidate will be advised of what, if any,
further education is required. He or she will also be subject to a review of previously completed
home inspections and supervised field work, and receive mentoring.
