<p><b>Technology Professionals Canada</b> (TPC) is an organization that advocates for the professions of <a href="Technicians" class="mw-redirect" title="Technicians">technicians</a>, <a href="Applied_science_technologist" title="Applied science technologist">applied science technologists</a> and <a href="Engineering_technologist" title="Engineering technologist">engineering technologists</a> within the provinces of their member organizations.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

<p>It was founded in 2010 as a partnership between associations of technology professions in <a href="British_Columbia" title="British Columbia">British Columbia</a>, <a href="Alberta" title="Alberta">Alberta</a>, <a href="Saskatchewan" title="Saskatchewan">Saskatchewan</a>, and <a href="Ontario" title="Ontario">Ontario</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>The organization came about when several associations of certified engineering technology ceased their membership with the Canadian Council of Technicians and Technologists (CCTT).<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The professional associations of Manitoba, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland and Labrador remained in CCTT until 2021 when CCTT joined TPC.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Accreditation">Accreditation</h2></div>

<p>TPC has created a new standard accreditation model, called Technology Accreditation Canada, based on a comprehensive review of current technology accreditation practices conducted by the <a href="Canadian_Standards_Association" class="mw-redirect" title="Canadian Standards Association">Canadian Standards Association</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>This accreditation model is being set up under a different organization, called Technology Accreditation Canada.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="International_transferability_of_title">International transferability of title</h2></div>

<p>As of June 2023, TPC is a signatory to the Dublin and Sydney accords as well as the mobility agreements for technicians and technologists.

</p>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Membership">Membership</h2></div>

<p>TPC consists of 9 of the 10 provincial associations of certified engineering technicians and technologists in Canada, and represents over 85% of the certified engineering technicians and technologists in Canada.
