Alberta
Alberta does not have dedicated captive insurance legislation, but captives can be established under the province's general Insurance Act with approval from the Alberta Superintendent of Insurance. The province's strong energy and natural resource sectors create significant demand for alternative risk transfer mechanisms. Alberta offers a business-friendly regulatory environment and competitive corporate tax rates, making it an emerging consideration for Canadian enterprises exploring captive solutions.
