Registered Professional Planner: An RPP is a registered professional planner who has met all the membership requirements for education and responsible professional planning experience. RPP's have Right to Title and legally use the MCIP designation. To find out more about taking the steps to acquire your full designation as an RPP, see the links below:
Candidate: Based on new membership criteria and processes that came into effect on September 1, 2012, individuals seeking Candidate membership must first have their qualifications assessed by the nationally-based Professional Standards Board for the planning profession in Canada (PSB), prior to admission to Candidate membership in MPPI. The PSB is now the first stop for applicants for Candidate membership. Only once an applicant has been assessed by the PSB, and recommended for admission can they be admitted to Candidate membership. The PSB is also responsible for assisting those interested in acquiring the Full Planner designation by administering the certification process. All applicants for candidate memberships are directed to the Professional Standards Board.

Pre-Candidate: Becoming a Pre-Candidate with the Manitoba Professional Planners Institute is an excellent opportunity for individuals pursuing a career in planning and who intend to seek Candidate and ultimately Certified membership and ‘Registered Professional Planner’ status with the Institute to get connected with the profession and the Institute, if they are not yet eligible for admission to Candidate membership. This includes individuals who hold a degree from a university planning school/program which is formally accredited by the Canadian Institute of Planners (CIP) and MPPI, but who are not currently employed in planning. It also includes individuals who are employed in planning but who do not hold an accredited planning degree and are not yet eligible for admission to Candidate membership.
