Congratulations to the Prince Edward Island Institute of Professional Planners (PEIIPP)

Professional Planners in PEI have received the great news that the Registered Professional Planners Act (RPP Act) will be proclaimed into force as of December 26, 2020. In the absence the RPP Act, certified professional planners in PEI who had been certified via the Professional Standards Board and the national standards for the profession, have been unable to use the RPP (Registered Professional Planner) professional designation, as it was neither recognized or protected in PEI. This is a great moment for the profession in PEI.

Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) Reporting Deadline: December 31, 2020

If you have life change or challenge, that may prevent your ability to comply with the CPL program and would like to inquire about special consideration to reduce CPL reporting requirements, or if you require clarification about the CPL program, please contact the APPI office.

Members who are non-compliant with the established criteria of the CPL program at the end of the calendar year will be removed from the Register of members in Good Standing – effective January 1, 2021 and will remain “not in good standing” until they complete the CPL reactivation process prior to June 30, 2021.

After June 30,2021 members who remain 2020 CPL non-compliant, are removed from the roster of APPI members and may not be reinstated.  Should one of those members wish to rejoin the Institute in the future, may not be reinstated and must re-apply as new members and re-certify via the processes in place and via the Professional Standards Board for the Planning Profession in Canada.
