Refund and Cancellation Policies
Membership
Memberships may be cancelled at any time by the member; however, membership fees are non-refundable and non-transferable. All requests for cancellations must be made in writing.
Requests made within 10 calendar days of purchase will be considered for a refund at the discretion of OPA. Within one calendar day, a 5% cancellation fee will be applied, and the rest will be refunded. Past one calendar day and up to 10 calendar days, a 25% cancellation fee will be applied, and the rest will be refunded.
When membership cancellation is initiated by OPA, a 5% administration fee may be charged at the discretion of OPA, and the remainder of the membership year will be refunded.
Professional Liability Insurance
The leading insurance products provided by OPA, including Professional Liability Insurance, are group policies and a membership benefit only available for members. The insurance program does not accept insurance coverage without an OPA membership.
PLI may be cancelled at any time by the member. Requests should be made in writing.
If a request is made within 10 calendar days of purchase and the member has no access to the insurance certificate, the administration fee will be waived, and PLI will be refunded.
- When a member has access to the certificate, a refund will be calculated based on a short-rate cancellation table from the insurer in addition to a processing fee of $25.00 + HST.
If the request is made after 10 calendar days, an administration fee of $25 + HST will be levied. A refund will be calculated based on a short-rate cancellation table from the insurer.
When PLI cancellation is initiated by OPA as a result of membership cancellation, the same PLI cancellation rules apply.

Requests for a refund for professional development courses will be considered as long as the course has not been accessed through OPA’s learning management system. All requests for cancellations must be made in writing. Submit your request to [email protected].
