Just a heads-up! A new batch of interim updates for your Pro Tools is on its way and will be available by June 28th. Good news: Every change in these new versions will also be available as a separate Fix, so you'll have options.
We'll send out an email bulletin the moment these updated versions are posted and ready for you to download. So, keep an eye on your inbox!
Here's what you can expect in the upcoming releases:
New Q2 Versions:
- PC Pro 2025 Interim Version B
- Life Pro 2025 Interim Version B
- LICAT-LIMAT-ESCAP Pro 2025 Interim Version C
- MI Pro 2025 Interim Version B
- Newly Released: 2025 KMR OL (for those who prefer to use a standalone version rather than the embedded version in the LICAT-LIMAT-ESCAP Pro package)
- Newly Released: 2025 KMR OP
General Enhancements Across All Packages:
While these updates aren't major, we're sharing the details now so you can plan accordingly.
- Improved Data Format Validation explanation of results: We've enhanced the description of the validation and explanation of the results for the new Data Format Validation. This means it will now be even clearer when you have an error(s) requiring your attention, making the correction process smoother.
- Updated Company Names: For P&C Pro, Life Pro, and LICAT-LIMAT-ESCAP Pro, we've updated company names to reflect recent changes communicated to us.
Package-Specific Updates:
Life Pro 2025 Interim Version B:
- We've added some new data points to the Bring Forward function for rows 120, 130, and 150 on page 23.045. The data included in the new row 005 was not reported in rows 120, 130 or 150 in the prior year, so this change will ensure data continuity.
LICAT-LIMAT-ESCAP Pro 2025 Interim Version C:
- A reminder for all users licensed in Quebec and incorporated in Quebec: Page 910.000 will be a new page to be completed in Q2. If you have not yet reviewed this page, you can open Version B to familiarize yourself with it in advance of Version C being released. Please note, this page is only required if the filer completed page 70.300 and is never required if the filer is a Foreign Branch.
P&C Pro 2025 Interim Version B:
- We've enhanced the MCT Errors tab with a new non-OSFI validation rule. This rule will help filers to quickly determine if their use of Letters of Credit falls within the 30% limit, as per section 4.3.3.4 of the MCT Guideline.
- The French text on page MCT 2010 in the Common Shares section has been updated for improved clarity.
MI Pro 2025 Interim Version B:
- This version includes the improved data format validation explanation noted above, with no other specific changes.
We appreciate your patience as we finalize these updates. Our goal is always to provide you with the most accurate and user-friendly tools possible. Keep an eye on your inbox for our email bulletin announcing that these new versions have been posted!
