Because professional regulations are a provincial matter, the Provincial Bodies within CIPS are responsible for the pursuit of the legislation and regulation of the I.S.P. Once regulation has occurred through legislation, the Provincial Bodies are also responsible for the administration of the I.S.P. within that province.
The purpose of the CIPS Provincial Bodies is to:
- Administer the legislation or regulation that enables the
self-regulating professional body; - Evaluate and certifiy qualified I.S.P. applicants, which is delegated to
the Certification Council; - Hear formal complaints against, and discipline Members, as the need
arise; - Administer the I.S.P. of Canada designation within the provinces:
- Promote the I.S.P. and professional practice within the provincial IT
industry; and, - Develop and maintain national certification standards through
Membership in the Certification Council.
