Apply for a founding seat

Four short steps, about ten minutes. Applying is free, and you can save a draft and come back. Read the six criteria first.

Status, November 4, 2026. Aurelle replies to every application within 14 working days. No seat is elected before the first election in January 2027. What each stage means.

Step 1 of 4: Who you are

Write "none" if you practise on your own.

Your answers are kept on this device as you go, so you can close the page and come back. Aurelle does not receive them until you send the application.

What happens after you send it

  1. Aurelle replies within 14 working days

    You are told whether your registrations check out against the public registers.

  2. Part 2, by email

    If they do, you receive a list to fill in of clients you invoiced in the last 24 months, and a few statements to sign. Aurelle then invites those clients to review your work.

  3. Aurelle Standards decides in writing

    Within 30 working days of having everything, and not before the first election in January 2027. You get the reasons either way, and you may appeal.

  4. An invoice, if a seat is offered

    CAD 1,200 for the first year of a founding seat. Nothing is paid before that.
