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.

Volunteers Wanted for the PSB's Professional Examination
The PSB administers Professional Examination examination to 150+ candidates per year. In order to maintain the rigour of the Professional Examination, we wish to add additional questions to our questions bank to include in future sittings. We are looking for volunteers who are RPPs/MCIPs in good standing (for 7+ years) to provide support for this initiative. The PSB thanks those who responded to our call for volunteers in 2017 and looks forward to working with another group of volunteers over the coming months.
In order to achieve a sustainable question bank for years to come, the PSB and its Professional Education and Examination Committee would like to confirm your interest and advise you of the next steps in the process. To add to our existing question bank, we are asking volunteers to confirm their interest in contributing to this initiative by emailing Nzinga Brown at [email protected].
