In 1928, the Government of Canada created the Credit Institute of Canada (CIC) through a Special Act of Parliament. The mandate of the CIC is to provide rigorous training, examination and continuous learning to commercial credit professionals who protect the wealth of Canada's companies and institutions. The Institute is the only government-recognized body in Canada to issue the CCP designation in the field of Commercial Credit. Our Institute provides a unique experience to associate with other like-minded credit professionals. Through conferences, seminars and other modes of training, we share ideas and maintain a current understanding of the mercurial landscape in commercial credit.
