Applying for Membership and APPI Candidate Information
All applications for Candidate membership are be directed to the Professional Standards Board (PSB) for initial assessment. http://www.psb-planningcanada.ca/APPLY/index.php
There are three types of assessment:
- accredited degree
- reciporal agreement
- prior learning assessment recognition (PLAR)
For a quick reference, click here for the 'Professional Standards Board Process for Certification in the Planning Profession' document. Click here for the 'The Road to your RPP: How to become a Registered Professional Planner' document.
A Separate Assessment fee is paid directly to Professional Standards Board.
Assessment applications for Candidate membership are to be submitted directly to the PSB. Once the PSB has assessed the applicant as eligible to proceed to Candidate membership, the PSB will advise APPI and your Candidate membership will be vetted through the APPI Registration Committee.
APPI will advise you of your official Candidate membership acceptance and issued a separate invoice for the current year member dues.
