As promised here is more information about the CPP Process from Bruce.
There are 5 CPP's in Canada, myself, Inge, Craig Minelly and 2 guys out of Ontario. Inge was the first person to write the test inside of Canada - the rest of us had to travel to the US to take ours.
Anna Beaudry of BC is going through the process now, she has submitted her images (no results yet that I know of) and is planning to take the exam in BC with Craig sometime probably in the first few months of 2011.
Here is the link to the PPCC site:http://www.certifiedphotographer.com/
It's my goal to get PPOC officially on board with the program like PPA is (it originally was a part of PPA - but now it is run as a separate entity - kinda). Seeing this is an internationally recognized organization, believe it can go a long way as to helping separate the wannabe's from the rest of us.
On a side note, I would also suggest every photographer be a member of PPA. They offer so much value for the membership dollar it is amazing. I'm not dropping PPOC, but what PPA does for their members is amazing.
