2025/2026 CFPC membership renewals

The CFPC membership renewal date for your annual member fees is July 1, 2025; however, please note the following dates and some changes:

• Your membership renewal will be available on the CFPC Portal starting May 7, 2025. You will receive an email when your renewal is ready to be completed.
• Payment is due no later than July 1, 2025. (The national fee for Practising members remains at $823; however, Chapter fees, if applicable, are set by each Chapter and may have changed since last year.)
• If fees remain unpaid by September 12th, 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 $150 reactivation fee for a total charge of $973 ($823 +$150), plus any applicable Chapter fee. By paying your membership fees before September 12th, you avoid a reactivation fee.
• Reduced fee requests for part-time work or leaves of absence will be available during renewal and on your invoice.

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

If yes, contact the Member Care Centre through the CFPC Portal on the ‘My Account’ tab. Click ‘General Inquiry’ at the bottom of the page (under the “I want to…” heading) or send an email to [email protected]. Please be advised that response times will be slower than usual during this high-volume period.

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 need to meet the Mainpro+ continuing professional development (CPD) requirements. Please note that Non-Practising members will no longer have access to Mainpro+. Your 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 must meet the Mainpro+ requirements; however, you may be eligible for a reduced fee. Review the reduced fee option criteria on your renewal, and select the appropriate option, if applicable.

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, 2025, to June 30, 2026, period, the CFPC offers a reduced fee option for the National membership fees. A reduced fee option also applies to Chapter fees other than Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, and Saskatchewan.

If you want to apply for a reduced fee, select the reduced fee option on your renewal invoice and follow the instructions. Note: You may be required to provide documentation confirming your eligibility for a reduced fee.

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 need to be updated.

If you want to change your current address to a new province/territory and provide your new licence:

1. Log into the CFPC Portal.
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.
6. Click Submit.

Upon receipt of your request, a Member Care Centre representative will review your request within two weeks. If your submission is approved, your address, licence, and Chapter information will be updated (as applicable), and any changes will be reflected on your next renewal invoice (2026–2027).

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

If you are a current subscriber to CFPCLearn or the Self Learning Program, and you signed the auto-renewal agreement, your membership renewal will automatically include the subscription(s).

If you do not wish to resubscribe, please send an email to the Member Care Centre at [email protected] with ‘Unsubscribe me from CFPCLearn/Self Learning Program’ in the subject line before you renew. You must wait to renew your membership until you receive a response from a Member Care Centre representative, who will advise when your invoice has been updated and you can proceed with your payment. Please allow 10 business days for this process to be completed.

I am a Resident and used to be in the Learner class. Why am I now in the Practising class and required to pay a fee?

In 2024 it came to light that some of the amendments to the CFPC’s bylaws that were approved by CFPC members at various Annual Meetings of Members in the past may not have been validly enacted, even though all the resolutions approving the amendments were passed by majority votes. The CFPC filed an application with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice pursuant to section 288(4) of the CNCA to validate its Articles of Continuance and corporate bylaws, which was heard on November 28, 2024.

Resident Doctors of Canada (RDoC) intervened in our application, advancing the restoration of voting rights for Resident members. This Court order results in Resident members becoming voting members of the Practising membership class.

Beginning with the 2025 renewal cycle, all Residents will be subject to annual membership fees (set at $102) and, due to federal tax legislation for non-profit member-based organizations, we can no longer offer Residents  complimentary access to Self Learning and CFPCLearn.

You can find the CFPC’s and RDoC’s written submissions on this topic, as well as the Court’s order, released on March 6, 2025, on our website.

If you have any questions about why RDoC advanced its position, please contact RDoC directly at [email protected].

Are you a resident extending your residency training program?

If you are a resident and your residency training program has been extended, email the Member Care Centre at [email protected] to adjust your invoice:

1. Use the subject line ‘Residency training program extended.’
2. Provide a document of proof from your university, which must include the start and completion date of your training program.

A Member Care Centre representative will review your request within 10 business days. If your submission is approved, we will adjust your invoice and advise you by email.

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 to ensure you stay up to date with the latest CFPC news, events, and activities.

The Learner member class includes medical students enrolled in a Canadian university and international medical graduates enrolled in a Canadian Practice Ready Assessment program.

This way you will stay up to date with the latest CFPC news, events, and activities.
