It’s been five years since the CMRAO debuted in Ontario’s multi-residential scene. Since then, it has since reached significant milestones.

In November 2017, Ontario introduced mandatory licensing requirements for all current and prospective condominium managers through the new Condominium Management Services Act, 2015 (CMSA). Fast-forward to now, the CMRAO is taking the province’s licensing training and education to the next level.

Some condo managers who want to renew their licences next year will have to pass a test to prove they are current on Ontario’s condo laws.

The new body set up to oversee the condo management industry has extended to March 30 the now-expired Jan. 29 deadline to apply for mandatory licences.

Ali Arlani will become CEO and registrar of the Condominium Management Regulatory Authority of Ontario (CMRAO) on Jan. 15.
