    Application & Membership Fees

    All fees are in Canadian dollars and include Ontario’s Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 13% (with the exception of the online-only Jurisprudence Examination, where other taxes may apply).

    You will be notified of the required amount when payment is needed. Please wait until you have confirmed exact amounts, as only some fees may apply to your situation.
