Nomination Criteria
FP Canada Fellow nominees may or may not be QAFP™ professionals or CFP® professionals. They will be assessed against the following criteria:
- Volunteerism to Advance FP Canada’s Mandate
Nominees must have demonstrated a passion and commitment to FP Canada’s mandate to advance professional financial planning in Canada and should have a long-standing history of volunteering with FP Canada and/or volunteerism with third parties that is directly related to FP Canada’s mandate and purpose. “Volunteering” does not include activities directly related to one’s job. - Advancement of FP Canada Standards
Nominees have developed, and/or have inspired others to develop or adopt FP Canada’s standards. Nominees’ work in this area has or will further the public interest and enhance the reputation of FP Canada certifications, and may be through volunteerism or activities directly related to one’s job.
Given that the FP Canada Fellow is a prestigious distinction, the criteria for acceptance of new Fellows are extremely high.
As such, the FP Canada Fellow distinction may not be awarded every year.
