What’s changed?

PC Pro 2026 Interim Version A

There are no regulatory changes to the reporting requirements or validations for PC1, PC2, PC3, and PCProv in 2026.

The 2026 PC4 Quarterly Return has been updated to reflect recent OSFI guideline changes, effective January 1, 2026, as well as broader simplifications to capital calculations and reporting instructions.

To support filers through these changes, SETpro has prepared a tracked changes version of the PC4, highlighting all updates in one place. Please contact SETpro to request access.

• PC4 Return Changes
  
  • Page 20.00 - New rows have been added to support crypto asset reporting to align with OSFI’s new crypto asset capital guideline and enable filers to capture risk associated with emerging financial exposures:
    - Two new rows within Deductions from Capital (Row 221 Cryptoassets exposure (simplified approach)– and Row 222 - Cryptoassets exposure (Group 2))
    - One new row within the Memo section (Row 310 - Total gross exposure to crypto-assets)
  • Page 30.00 - This page includes both removals and a new disclosure:
    
    • Removed:
      - Row 036 – CSM associated with business combinations and portfolio transfers on or prior to June 30, 2019
      - Row 065 – Amounts due from federally regulated insurers and approved reinsurers legally netted from actuarial liabilities‍
    • Added:
      - New Memo row 125 to capture total gross exposure to crypto assets
  • Page 40.05 - Significant simplification has been implemented:
    
    • Removed columns previously distinguishing unexpired coverage under PAA and GMM (columns 02, 04, 08 and 10)
    • Updated remaining column headings to reflect the simplified calculation approach now prescribed in the guideline

• Validation Changes
  OSFI has updated several validation rules to better align with the revised guidance:
  
  • Page 40.00 - Capital required on net LIC liability will now be floored at zero, eliminating the previous need to cap LIC reinsurance held amounts when they exceeded liabilities.
  • Page 40.05 - Capital required on unexpired coverage (Column 22) will be capped at zero, consistent with the simplified methodology.
  • Pages 20.00, 30.00, and 40.05 - Internal page summations have been updated to reflect new and removed rows or columns.

• Instruction Updates
  Several instruction clarifications have been made to improve consistency and reduce interpretation challenges:
  
  • ‍Page 40.00 - Instructions now explicitly state that capital (margin) must be floored at zero, addressing a common filer question.‍
  • Page 40.05 - References to unexpired coverage calculations have been removed from the instructions. Filers are directed to rely on the OSFI guideline as the single source of truth.
  • Pages 40.11 and 40.21 - Instructions now require Column 16 (AIC) to be floored at zero.
    (Note: validations have not yet been updated to enforce this requirement; SETpro has confirmed this with OSFI.)‍
  • Page 50.00 - Additional guidance clarifies the treatment of insurance contract assets and liabilities for Canadian companies and foreign branches.
• Finally, a New Support Schedule for Unrated and Domestic Infrastructure Debt has been added to the bottom of MCT page 60.00.
  
  • This schedule allows filers to:
    -    Distinguish between unrated debt investments subject to original factors, and
    -    Domestic infrastructure investments eligible for the reduced factors announced in February 2026.
  • The schedule enables filers to input both asset types, calculate capital requirements separately, and feed the combined total into the main schedule—making capital calculations clearer, more transparent, and easier to manage.

StatsCan F8 Pro 2026 Interim Version A

There are no changes to the reporting requirements in 2026.

Earthquake Pro and OSFI 1045 Pro Annual Version A

OSFI has made no changes to the Earthquake Exposure Data Form or its instructions. However, OSFI has issued a voluntary, one-time data call for "1-in-200 year probable maximum loss" (200 PML) values as part of a supplemental filing for catastrophe risk analysis.

In response, SETpro has developed the OSFI 1045 Pro package, which features built-in validations, dropdowns and creates the output file in accordance with OSFI’s filing requirements. This allows your team to focus on data accuracy while we handle the technical filing requirements.

Performance & User Experience Improvements

To further enhance the user experience with PC Pro, we’ve made several behind the scenes improvements. While subtle, these updates significantly reduce the likelihood of user issues:

• Footer Updates – Pro packages will no longer automatically update footers during execution of the print or create Special Excel Functions to improve performance.
• Cut & Paste Controls – Cut and paste functionality in Excel has been disabled to prevent broken references. (copy and paste is still fully supported).
• Workbook Protection – Filers can protect the workbook while retaining access to all custom menu features.

Coming Soon

IC1 and IC2 Pro Version A

New IC1Pro and IC2 Pro packages will soon be available to support Climate-Related Risk reporting requirements.

Developed in alignment with OSFI and AMF business specifications and instructions, this package will includes:

• Built in validations aligned with specifications and matrices
• Automated creation of the required CSV output
• Consolidated filing instructions in one place

This tool is designed to reduce time spent interpreting requirements, allowing filers to focus on understanding and preparing the underlying data.

What’s on the horizon?

IFRS 18 – 2027 Filings
