Effective September 1, 2024, the annual program fee for program participants enrolled in all certification options will increase by three per cent, rounded to the nearest $5.

The increase will be reflected the next time program participants are invoiced by CanadaGAP on the anniversary of their enrolment.

Below is the fee schedule indicating the current annual program fee and the increased fee effective September 1, 2024, in both Canadian dollars (CAD) and US dollars (USD).

The increase in the annual program fee is necessary to reflect inflationary pressures on operating costs, administration and staffing, self-assessment and random audit fees, etc.

The fee increase will take effect on September 1, 2024. Invoices generated on or after September 1, 2024, will be as per the new rates.

Please note that program participants not due to be invoiced until September 1 or later, cannot prepay the annual program fee at the rate in effect prior to September 1, 2024.

If you have any questions or require additional information, please contact the CanadaGAP office at 613-829-4711 or info@canadagap.ca.
