The CIP Society is the foremost professional organization for those working in the p & c insurance industry in Canada. A division of The Insurance Institute of Canada, the CIP Society was established by The Institute's Board of Governors in 1998.

The Society's mission is to foster and promote professionalism and the recognition of the CIP and FCIP designations as the premier designations in property and casualty insurance. This mission guides all of the CIP Society's initiatives and programs.

The Chartered Insurance Professional and Fellow Chartered Insurance Professional designations represent an individual who is educated, experienced, and ethical in the property and casualty insurance industry. Both these designations set professionals apart from others within the insurance business. As such, membership in the CIP Society is restricted to Institute graduates who adhere to The Institute's Code of Ethics, continue learning to broaden their professional development, and maintain membership in their local Insurance Institute.
