This workshop is a requirement to become an Associate of the CIA (ACIA) and for Property & Casualty candidates applying for membership in the CIA unless they have attended the CAS Professionalism Course offered in Canada. When the CAS Professionalism Course is offered in Canada and when it includes appropriate Canadian content provided by the CIA, it will be deemed equivalent to the CIA Professionalism Workshop for the purposes of satisfying the CIA eligibility requirements.
The Society of Actuaries' (SOA) Board of Directors has approved the workshop as an equivalent to its Associateship Professionalism Course (APC) for Canadian students. Therefore, Canadian candidates who are pursuing Associateship in the SOA (ASA designation), can obtain credit for the APC by attending the CIA's Professionalism Workshop.
