Suspension and Termination of Articling Associate Status

Articling associates are required to renew their status each year. Annual fees are payable in addition to any course fees. The membership year runs from April 1 to March 31. Annual renewal notices are sent out via email at the beginning of April each year. Paper invoices are not issued. You are responsible for informing CAIRP of any changes to your status or contact information.

  • If your dues are not received within 60 days of the issuance of the annual renewal notice, your articling associate status will be automatically suspended in accordance with article 22.1 of CAIRP's Bylaws and could be subsequently terminated.
  • Please note that this suspension/termination policy also applies if you fail to inform CAIRP of a change to your contact information and we are unable to contact you.
  • If your articling associate status is suspended, a $500 reinstatement fee will apply in addition to your annual fees.
  • If your articling assoicate status is terminated, you are required to submit an application to be reinstated, which must be approved by the Executive Committee, and the $500 reinstatement fee will apply in addition to your annual fees.
  • If you are planning to voluntarily withdraw from the CQP, please inform the Isabelle Gauthier, CQP Registrar (isabelle.gauthier@cairp.ca), as soon as possible so that we can update our records. This may allow you to re-enter the program at a later date without being required to pay the $500 reinstatement fee or seek approval from the Executive Committee.

 Yes   I have read and understand this policy.
