The Student membership (currently attending the first year or second year of your 2 year massage therapy program) is complimentary; however, if you require insurance to perform your practicum, there is an additional cost for insurance which can be found in the CMMOTA Fee Schedule.

More advanced courses are acceptable, however the member needs to be aware that some advanced courses have a shorter certificate expiry date, and may require more frequent re-certification. It is highly recommended that you take these courses through an approved First Aid Training Agency in your province.

As associate members of CMMOTA this requirement has not yet been fulfilled. With Telus Health, your clients can submit claims, however you are not able to direct bill, you will not have any online billing privileges until you have completed your 2200 hour program and upgraded your membership [...]
