WHAT TO KNOW DURING RENEWAL

RENEW ONLINE BY DECEMBER 31
You will have the choice to pay for your 2025 membership fees with a credit card online, or download your invoice if your employer is paying by direct deposit. For group renewal, fill out the Group Membership Renewal Form and send it to membership@ontarioplanners.ca.  

IMPORTANT: Be sure to renew your membership or download your invoice with the intent to renew by December 31 to avoid a lapse in membership and insurance coverage.


MEMBERSHIP FEES 
For the 2025 membership year, OPPI Council has made the decision not to increase membership fees in an effort to support OPPI members through the challenges of the past year. Learn more about membership fees.


INSURANCE FEES | ADJUSTMENT
This year, you will see that your Professional Liability Insurance (PLI) premium has adjusted to $81.00 covering from March 1, 2025 through March 1, 2026. Learn more about insurance. 

**For NEW Full and Candidate members activating your membership after November 1, 2024 - If you would like to get coverage between November 1, 2024 through February 28, 2025, please contact OPPI at 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. 

IMPORTANT: As an RPP, you have a mandatory requirement to carry insurance (optional for Retired and Non-Practicing members). Be sure to renew your membership or download your invoice with the intent to renew by December 31 to avoid a lapse in membership and insurance coverage.
