Apply for the I.S.P. under the Education Plus Experience Route (http://www.cips.ca/EdplusEx). Under this route you are required to have your official transcripts sent to us directly from your educational institutions, along with a Canadian course-by-course equivalency assessment (assessment centers listed in application). If your course-by-course equivalency assessment indicates that they received your official transcripts directly from your school(s) then you can have the assessment center mail us an official copy of your assessment instead of having your school mail us your official transcripts.
Alternatively you can apply for the I.S.P. under the "Established IT Professionals Route" (http://www.cips.ca/EstablishedITProfessionals), which is purely experience based, and would not require you to send your transcripts. Under this route you would document your knowledge and experience that you've gained over the years in the listed knowledge areas.
You are not required to have experience in all knowledge areas, however your total points gained from the knowledge areas must be greater than 21 points. While you will be providing your personal opinion about the points you believe to have in each knowledge area, the CIPS Experience Review Committee will ultimately determine how many points you are assessed at.
My noc is 2173 and I want to apply for SINP PNP. Could u pls let me know if WES document by document evaluation will work for acquiring SINP license and also can you elaborate on the below points which are required for ISP certification. Thanks in advance. Overall Requirement
CIPS Membership (Note: One can apply for the I.S.P. designation without being a CIPS member, but active membership must be held in order to hold and use the I.S.P. designation);
Provide detailed and descriptive employer or client references covering the two years preceding the application. The employer or client needs to be able to comment on your competence and confirm your work history over the last 24 months. The reference should be in a similar or higher professional level to you and cannot be someone who report to you.

For SINP Licence and specifically for I.S.P. there are multiple routes to obtain it. If you go to their website, they have tool to assess which route you can take. In my case I tiok education plus experience route. However first confirm this from them by sending them email at [email protected]. For the rest of the answers for your questions please see below.
1. As per your job duties (current and past), you have to decide in which bok list you are falling. They habe given this list in application form. As per that you need to mention this thing in application form but for education plus experience route and established IT professionals route.
2. WES evaluation should be course by course. Document by document they won't accept. For this if you have already completed WES in past than you just need to upgrade it to course by course. You can easily get this from WES website in your account. There will be some charges. Also make sure to send the copy of your wes report directly from wes to thier address written in application form. For this you have to add manual recipient in wes account.
3. Demonstrate knowledge of code of business ethics, this is online test with few questions that you need to clear. They have provided the link as well and highlighted the same in yellow on their website. This certificate you get in half an hour which you need to attach while application for the I.S.P. They will provide the document as well to pass the test.
4. CIPS membership can be obtain while filling the application form as they usually give that option too. So this will be covered once you fill the application form.
5. You need to provide reference letter(s) from your client or employer who can comment on your competence and confirm your last 24 months work with them.
6. Rest is explanatory about the application fees. They have given the link in which for particular Saskatchewan we have to pay mentioned amount with additional membership fee.
Let me know if you need any other clarification for the same.

Happy to help. Please ask your queries and we will definitely try to answer them. Actually we are also new to this process. However whatever experience we are having, based on that we will definitely help you guys.
First of all I would like to mention that this CIPS is like our indian NASSCOM. Hence it is important for all working in this field to get registered.
in order to enrol for the same one needs to have Codes of Ethics training needs to be completed and then assessment. Well, friends I am also like you people. planning to apply for PR ship and have to appear for the same. So have no much knowledge but I know that what is the procedure to enrol. It will again verify our experience, will consider our ECA and then certification will be given.

Hi,
I have 7 years of experience in Web application (software engineer).
But I could not find specific route for me so please help me.
Moreover, I had sent email to cips for selection of route with my master degree certificate in IT, but still I don't get any response from them.

I would say wait for them to reply for your query. They are trying their level best to reply for each and every query as soon as possible. Wait for couple of more days. You will definitely get the reply.
This is something new for us as well so for some queries which we haven't faced, we can't reply you without knowledge. Apologies for the same.

So I think they are talking about the transcripts and documents from your university to wes. You have to send the documents again what you have earlier followed.
Try to send them email about the same as generally they have our documents stored which we have sent earlier for document by document. But for safer side send the documents again.
