The CPA is dedicated to advancing the science, practice, and education of psychology in Canada. It offers resources for psychologists, students, and the public, focusing on the latest research, professional standards, and educational opportunities in psychology. Established in 1939, the CPA is a leading organization dedicated to advancing psychology's role in society. Officially incorporated in 1950 and renewed under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act in 2013, the CPA envisions a society where a deep understanding of human needs and behaviors informs legislation, policies, and programs. Our mission is to promote research, knowledge, and application of psychology through advocacy, support, and collaboration. Guided by our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, we aim to enhance the relevance of psychology in public policy and societal well-being.
