WHO WE ARE

Who We Are

The Canadian International Professionals Association (CIPA) is a global, member-led community connecting Canadians and Canada-connected individuals at home and around the world.

Our members are Canadians and Canada-connected individuals who believe that Canada's strength extends far beyond its geography. Members include founders, operators, executives, advisors, technologists, creators, service providers, and students.

CIPA is designed to be participatory. Members are encouraged to take an active role in shaping the community.

  • Global and local communities
