If you are interested in a people-oriented profession and have strong interpersonal skills, consider a career as an Insurance Advisor. The insurance industry requires individuals who are professional, trustworthy, and responsible. The Insurance Institute of Canada believes that there is a looming labour shortage in the industry. Likewise, several articles in trade publications have identified the need to attract more licensed Insurance Advisors in order to meet the demands of today's consumer.

Currently, in Canada, there are more than 200 property and casualty insurance companies, 7,500 brokerages, and 1,500 adjusting firms, employing about 110,000 people.
