As a CCPA student member, you can get access our exclusive liability insurance program with BMS Group Canada Risk Services Ltd. (BMS), offering you low rates on liability insurance during your practicum.

But did you know that once you graduate, upgrade to professional membership and apply for certification, you also receive access to competitive rates on insurance while you transfer into professional practice? That’s right! We offer an interim insurance option until you get certified, ensuring the smoothest transition to full-time professional practice.
