MEMBERSHIP FEES | ADJUSTMENT For the first time in three years, OPPI Council approved a 3% increase to the membership fee, across all categories, for 2026. This carefully considered adjustment will enable us to continue delivering high-value services to members, including enhanced education and government relations programs, and strategic investment in career development initiatives. This increase also helps us manage rising costs from our suppliers and partners used to deliver programs and services. Learn more about membership fees. INSURANCE FEES | NO INCREASE There will be no increase in your Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) premium ($81+ HST), which is covering from March 1, 2026, through February 28, 2027.
**For NEW Full and Candidate members activating your membership after November 1, 2025: If you would like to get coverage between November 1, 2025, and February 28, 2026, please contact info@ontarioplanners.ca. Policy Usage Thousands of dollars of claims costs have been paid to defend and protect insured members. Insurance claims have been substantiated by actuarial analysis, and insurance premiums have been negotiated to keep the increase to the lowest amount acceptable. Premiums continue to be competitive, and coverage remains comprehensive across all aspects of the policy. Questions? If you have any question about your insurance policy, please contact OPPI’s insurance broker, BMS Canada, at 1-844-294-2714 or oppi.insurance@bmsgroup.com.
RENEW WITH OPPI & CIP Through the OPPI membership renewal process, you will be able to choose if you also want to renew your membership with the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) directly through OPPI in a single payment. CONSULTANTS DIRECTORY As you are aware, a new and improved version of the Consultants Directory has been up and running. Learn more about the OPPI Consultants Directory. During the renewal process, although the option of the Consultants Directory may be visible, you will not be able to purchase a listing for your company and will not incur any charges if you do inadvertently select that option.
LOG YOUR 2025 CPL BY JANUARY 15 The deadline to log your Continuous Professional Learning (CPL) units is January 15, 2026. All OPPI members can log in, at any time, to the Members-Only Area to log their CPL units. Learn more about CPL.
If your personal circumstances prevented you from completing your CPL requirement this year, contact registrar@ontarioplanners.ca to discuss accommodation options.
CPL FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS How do I carry forward my CPL units? Carrying forward CPL units is now automatic - this can be done in a few easy steps. If you have a surplus of structured learning units (i.e. more than nine) you may add them to the CURRENT calendar year. In your Members-Only Area, go to Record/View CPL Activities, and click Add Activities. Select the CURRENT calendar year to carry your learning units forward. IMPORTANT: Only structured learning units can be carried forward. Individual and self-directed learning units are limited to nine per calendar year and may not be carried over. How many CPL units can I enter in a calendar year? As of right now, the database will allow you to enter unlimited structured learning units per calendar year while unstructured units are limited to nine only. We're constantly working to improve your member experience. How do I edit or delete CPL units? If you see a pencil icon or a red X icon you may edit or delete that specific entry. At this time, structured learning units are only able to be edited or deleted by OPPI staff. Contact membership@ontarioplanners.ca for more information. Do I need to complete the CPL requirement? OPPI Full and Candidate members are required to complete the annual CPL requirement. Some membership categories are not required to log CPL units, including Student, Pre-Candidate, Non-Practicing and Retired members.
