This payment option is intended for new RPA Canada members who join partway through the current membership year, which runs from August 1 to July 31. It provides a fair and flexible way for new members to begin their membership without paying the full annual fee for a partial membership period.

The membership fee is prorated based on the remaining period of the current membership year. This allows the member’s account to align with RPA Canada’s regular annual membership cycle, with the next full membership renewal beginning on August 1.
