More Than a Membership.
More Than a Membership. It’s a Movement.
When you join the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), you’re not just gaining access to resources — you’re becoming part of a nationwide movement to advance physiotherapy and shape the future of health care in Canada.
As a CPA member, you have access to:
Advocacy That Makes an Impact
Lend your voice to a powerful national advocacy effort that is driving real change — from expanding scope of practice and enabling diagnostic imaging rights, to improving immigration pathways and securing student loan forgiveness. Together, we’re influencing policies that elevate physiotherapy and improve access to care across the country.
Professional Development at Every Stage
The CPA supports your growth at every point in your career. Whether you’re a student preparing for practice, a clinician building your skills, or a private practitioner expanding your business, you’ll find evidence-informed education, mentorship, and leadership opportunities through our specialty Divisions, professional Assemblies, and national events like Congress.
Member Benefits That Add Real Value
Enjoy exclusive savings on professional and personal products and services, including liability and extended health insurance, business solutions, learning packages, travel, and retail discounts. A CPA membership helps make life more affordable while supporting your personal and professional goals.
A National Network That Feels Local
Through your provincial Branch, Divisions, and Assemblies, you’re connected to a vibrant community of physiotherapy professionals across the country. These groups provide targeted learning, peer support, and opportunities to shape the profession where you live and work — while keeping you plugged in to a broader national conversation.
Professional Liability Insurance You Can Trust
Through our partnership with BMS, CPA members have access to comprehensive, profession-specific insurance coverage that reflects your scope of practice and regulatory environment — giving you peace of mind and confidence in your day-to-day work.
Membership Means Momentum
At its core, CPA membership is about connection, community, and collective action. It means you’re part of a vibrant community of more than 14,000 physiotherapy professionals across Canada that share your values, your challenges, and your drive to make a difference. Together, we’re building the future of physiotherapy — with purpose, pride, and passion.
