SUMMARY:Insurance in QC Intro for Newcomers  ***POSTPONED***
DESCRIPTION:Coming from a different province you may have noticed auto insurance in Québec is quite different\, and not only in terms of costs\, but also coverage and such! Insurance in Canada is not standardized\, so if you moved to Québec City from another province\, you might find this introductory webinar quite handy! \nIf you moved from another country\, you may not be familiar with the insurance industry or perhaps you are but it is different here than it is in your previous place of residence. \nOn Feb. 24th and in collaboration with the Autorité des marchés financiers\, we will host an introductory Zoom session\, aimed at clarifying any doubts you may have regarding insurance. \n
