Eligibility

Eligibility for Network/Institutional membership status rests on the inability of applicants to meet the criteria for Organizational Membership. If your organization meets the criteria for Organizational Membership, you must apply under that category. Please identify below the specific Organizational Membership criteria that you do not meet (check all that apply):

 

Please note the following:

Important: On June 12, 2024, voting members of the Council gathered virtually for a Special Meeting focused on OCIC’s continuance to the federal jurisdiction under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act, passed resolutions necessary for this process and have since filed the required legal documents.
 
Once approved, OCIC will have one class of members that consist of organizations (including educational institutions or current Network/Institutional Members that qualify for the criteria) interested in furthering the Corporation’s purposes and who have applied for and been accepted into membership, pay annual membership fees, and have voting rights.
 
As a current Network/Institutional member, we invite you to review this link to the updated OCIC Membership Policy for more details on the upcoming changes.
