CMC-Canada members can view and apply for job postings and RFPs from the public and private sector in our members-only Online Job Bank. You may post employment opportunities within your own firm. You have direct access to MERX Canadian Public Tenders which offers consulting opportunities from all levels of government across Canada -- an easy, fast, and efficient prospecting tool to help your business grow. Free to CMC-Canada members; a webinar designed to help you optimize your search for tenders, including tips and tricks on getting the most out of MERX.
As a CMC-Canada member, you have the option of publicly promoting your business through the cmc-canada.ca Member Directory. By listing your name and business, potential clients -- who search our database daily -- gain access to and learn more about your services. Many CMC-Canada members use the Directory to search for other members to collaborate on projects -- showing the high level of commitment and trust they have in each other.

Participate in the Management Advisory Service (MAS)
Once you earn your CMC designation, consider participating in the MAS program administered by CMC-Canada in strategic collaboration with the National Research Council-Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP). Qualified CMCs are recommended to assist small and medium-sized businesses that need management consulting advice. This program is nation-wide and financially supported through NRC-IRAP.
2. Save Money –- Member discounts will more than offset the price of membership!
From liability protection to home and auto insurance, these Member Savings Programs provide an excellent return on your membership investment.
“I was surprised to learn that my Errors & Omissions insurance with LMS Prolink is HALF of what an acquaintance of mine is paying for the same cover. I only paid just over a $1,000.” Lianti Muller, CMC
CMC-Canada's exclusive Group Professional Liability program is a low cost solution for Errors and Omissions Insurance Coverage, providing the safety net you need.
- Policy cost for management consultant without CMC-Canada membership: $X premium
- Policy cost for basic CMC-Canada member: 80% of $X premium
- Policy cost for CMC/FCMC designate: 65% of $X
While coverage varies, assuming a basic policy costs $2000, joining CMC-Canada can save you the cost of your annual membership fees in insurance coverage.
“I had five quotes from as low as $9,000 and as high as $13,000 (from my existing provider) and TD Meloche Monnex was $5,014 which includes comp, collision, and the mandatory liability stuff. This was a huge difference for me in my situation.” Jeff Schieck

Recent events across the country have included: a behind-the-scenes tour of the new Winnipeg Airport, informal breakfasts in St. John’s and Halifax, Lean Management 101, and an informal pub night in Victoria.
