The Canadian Information Processing Society (C.I.P.S) is the Information Technology professional society in Canada. The society certifies and regulates the Information Systems Professional (I.S.P) designation in most provinces. The society also performs accreditation of computer science and software engineering programs at Canadian universities. CIPS is responsible for defining the Canadian IT Body of Knowledge.
Each province has a provincial body that administers the legislation or regulation establishing the self-regulating professional body. This consists of the following bodies:
*CIPS Alberta
*CIPS British Columbia
*CIPS Manitoba
*CIPS New Brunswick
*CIPS Nova Scotia
*CIPS Ontario
*CIPS Saskatchewan
In Québec, CIPS is partnered with the Fédération de l'informatique du Québec (FIQ). CIPS is the Canadian member organisation of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP).
