Member & Permit Holder Dues

It is important that members and permit holders keep their information up to date with APEGA and pay their annual dues on time.

Members

Annual Dues

Your invoice will be available on your myAPEGA account 30 days before your anniversary date. Starting with the August 2021 renewals, APEGA will no longer mail invoices.

You have 30 days from the date of the invoice to submit your full payment to APEGA. If you are a new member, you will be invoiced for your first year's dues once your application is approved. Payment can be made online through myAPEGA or through online banking. 

Membership dues must be paid annually or APEGA will cancel your licence.

Dues Reduction

Certain designations and situations are eligible for a dues reduction.

Multiple Jurisdictions

Members practising in multiple jurisdictions can maintain their APEGA licence by paying their annual dues and completing their continuing professional development requirements.

Permit Holders

Annual Dues

Permit holder dues are calculated using a base rate of $500 and multiplied by the square root of the total number of members working under the permit holder’s Permit to Practice.

Permit Holder Dues = $500 x √# of Members Employed + GST

Active member types included in the calculation are:

• Practicing and restricted licensed professionals: professional members, professional licensees, licensees
• Non-practicing: provisional licensees, members-in-training, exam candidates

Through myAPEGA, a permit renewal notification will be sent to the chief operating officer (COO), and individuals with access to the permit holder’s finance centre, 60 days prior to the permit’s expiration date. 

The permit holder will be advised to update:

• its employee list
• any company contact information, including staff with myAPEGA permissions on the permit's myAPEGA page(s)
• its Responsible Member list

The permit holder has up to 30 days upon receiving the renewal notification to make these changes on the myAPEGA portal. After 30 days, the permit holder will be notified that the invoice has been issued and can be accessed in the myAPEGA portal for payment. The COO must complete the permit declaration as part of the renewal, before payment can be made.

Invoice amounts are final and will reflect the members listed on the permit at the time the invoice was issued. Any changes made after the invoice date will not be reflected in that year's dues.

Once the annual dues are paid for the permit, a new permit certificate will be sent to the COO. Dues must be paid by the permit expiration date, or the permit is at risk of cancellation.

Sole Practitioners

Sole practitioners pay a flat rate of $250 + GST. If you are eligible, this rate will automatically be applied and reflected in your myAPEGA account at the time of invoicing.

For APEGA’s billing purposes, a sole practitioner is defined as:

• a permit holder for which the COO and the Responsible Member are the same person and, therefore, an APEGA member and the only member listed on the permit, or
• a permit holder for which the COO is not an APEGA member, and the Responsible Member is the only APEGA member listed on the permit
