The Insurance Bureau of Canada says it is sending its mobile support unit to communities in BC where floods have caused severe damage.

A statement from the bureau says its Community Assistance Mobile Pavilion or CAMP is staffed by trained insurance industry specialists who can help home or business owners understand the process needed to file an insurance claim.

The bureau says home insurance policies in Canada never used to cover loss or damage from overland flooding but many insurers now offer overland flood coverage as an add-on to standard home insurance policies.

It says it is also working with government to create an affordable flood insurance solution for all Canadians including the roughly five per cent of homeowners who can't buy coverage because they live in a high risk area.

B.C. Urges Federal Government to Increase Provincial Nominee Program Quotas

The British Columbia government is calling on the federal government to raise its 2025 allocation under the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP), citing urgent workforce needs. The province reports that it met its 2024 target of 8,000 workers and is now requesting an increase to 11,000 nominees for 2025. However, Ottawa has reduced B.C.’s allocation to just 4,000, a move the province says is undermining its ability to meet labour market demands. The B.C. government argues that a higher quota would enable the province to process the majority of pending applications and accept approximately 1,100
