New Member Applications

New members: please download and print out the English or French versions of the application form. You may still register online, but please also fill out the form (so we may know a bit more about you) and mail or fax it after your online registration.

According to the APC bylaws, there are several requirements that must be met before applicants are granted membership. The pertinent bylaws are copied below for your reference. On receipt of copies of your qualification documents, the executive council will review them and present your application to the members at the next Annual General Meeting.

If you do not qualify for Active membership as per Section 1 of the bylaws (see below), you may wish to apply for Non-Resident or Affiliate membership instead, however only fully qualified Active members are eligible to receive benefits from our sponsoring companies. Lists of the eligible members are forwarded to these companies annually and the companies will ask for a membership number before granting discounts.

Non-resident, Affiliate and Student members may however, take advantage of APC preferred subscription rates for The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry (50% off regular price) if you so choose. The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry subscription is a benefit and a requirement of all Active members and is included in the membership fee.

Student and Life Members: There are no fees for membership for these groups but we request that you apply for membership as well so that we may keep our records up to date.

Duplicate JPD Subscriptions?
As part of our continuing efforts to ensure that none of our members are paying for more than one JPD subscription each year, if you belong to more than one JPD Sponsoring organization, and receive at least one JPD subscription through the other organization(s), please contact the APC Administrator before registering online.

Not sure where your JPD subscription comes from? Fax the mailing label or cover sheet from your last or next JPD issue to 604-263-1757 and we'll decipher it for you!
