2024/2025 CFPC membership renewals

The CFPC membership renewal date for your annual member fees is July 1, 2024; however, please note the following dates and some changes:

• Your membership renewal will be available on the CFPC Portal the week of June 3rd 2024.
• Payment is due no later than July 1, 2024. This is earlier than in previous years. (The national fee for Practising Members remains at $823.)
• By October 1st, if fees remain unpaid, your CFPC membership will be discontinued. Of course, we hope it doesn’t come to that so if you need any help renewing your membership, please contact the Member Care Centre.
• If your membership has been discontinued, there will be a $50 administration fee for reinstatement for a total charge of $923, plus any applicable Chapter fee. By paying your membership fees before October 1st, you avoid reinstatement charges.
• Reduced fee requests for part-time work or leaves will now be available during renewal and on your invoice. If you request a reduced fee after you pay your renewal, it will be considered a mid-year request and the discount will be applied the following year.

Before you renew, are there any changes to your membership?

If yes, please make the changes online prior to April 30th for it to be reflected on your invoice. If you miss the April 30th deadline, contact the Member Care Centre at [email protected]. Please be advised that response times will be slower than usual.

I have retired.

If you are retired from practice and do not have work related to the medical field, you may request to update your membership class to Non-Practising. As a Non-Practising member, you don’t pay an annual membership fee or meet the Mainpro+^® cycle requirements.

Please note that Non-Practising members will no longer have access to Mainpro+. Your continuing professional development (CPD) status will no longer be reported to your provincial/territorial licensing body.

Should you wish to maintain your medical licence and continue to have Mainpro+ access, you must remain a Practising class member. Practising members pay an annual fee and meet the Mainpro+ requirements.

Interested in moving into the Non-Practising class? Please email the Member Care Centre at [email protected], with ‘Change to Non-Practising class’ as the subject line.
 

I’m working part-time (less than 20 hours per week), or I am on  leave (maternity/parental/personal illness/disability), and request a reduced fee.

For family physicians in the Practising class working less than 20 hours a week or on leave (maternity/parental/personal illness/disability) for more than four months during the July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2025, period and who still report CPD, the CFPC offers a fee reduction of 30 per cent.

If you want to apply for a reduced fee, select the reduced fee option on your renewal invoice and follow the instructions.
Please note that you if request a reduced fee after paying for your renewal and it is approved, the discount will be applied the following year.
 

I have moved to another province/territory. What are my Chapter fees?

If you are a Practising class member and have moved to a different province, your National fee remains the same; however, your Chapter fee may change. See the updated Chapter fee schedule. Your licence information may also change.

If you want to change your current address to a new province/territory and provide your new licence, do not renew your membership yet. Instead, please follow these steps:

2. Under “My Account,” scroll down to the list titled, ‘I Want to…’
3. Click “Change my address”
4. Fill out the form. At the bottom of the form, click ‘Yes’ to indicate that your primary licence has changed
5. Upload a file of your new licence.

How do I remove CFPCLearn or Self-Learning from my renewal?

If you are a current subscriber to CFPCLearn or Self-Learn, your membership renewal will automatically include these subscription(s). If you do not wish to re-subscribe, please send an email to the Member Care Centre at [email protected] with Unsubscribe me from CFPCLearn/Self-Learning in the subject line before you renew. You must wait to renew your membership until you receive a response from a Member Care representative, who will let you know your invoice has been updated and you can proceed with your payment. Please allow 10 business days for this process to be completed and a Member Care representative to connect with you.

As a Non-Practising member, your membership is automatically renewed and no action is required. We do, however, encourage you to log into the CFPC Portal to confirm we have your current contact information. This way you will stay up to date with the latest CFPC news, events, and activities.

CFPC terms on returned cheques
Before we deposit your cheque and complete your renewal, we will send you an email about the CFPC’s terms on returned cheques (non-sufficient funds or any other reason). Returned cheques result in additional administrative work for the CFPC as well as charges from the bank. As a result, if your cheque is returned, a $50 charge will be added to your invoice.
You will need to accept the CFPC’s terms for returned cheques (and the additional charge) before we process your payment.
