The CAPC accreditation process is straightforward. It involves:
Step 1: Sending in an application package consisting of

- Three letters of reference;
- Proof of Canadian citizenship, landed immigrant status or working principally in Canada;
- Transcripts from conservation training institutions (if applicable);
- A non-refundable Application fee of $50 for each accreditation specialty
Step 2: Your submitted Portfolio will be peer-reviewed
- All documents pertaining to an application are treated as confidential.
- The year-end deadline for sending an application is December.
Step 3: An interview will be scheduled to discuss portfolio and practice
- The Board of Examiners that is selected for your Portfolio review and interview must meet with your approval.
- Examination interviews may be scheduled during the annual CAC conference held in the Spring.
- CAPC regulations contain more detailed information about the accreditation process and qualifications for membership.
Step 4: Registration Fees and Membership Renewal
