FVREB members who are Candidate members of the Commercial Network have three years to fulfill educational requirements to achieve Full Membership in the Commercial Network.
Members are advised that the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) has mandated all Candidate members, within three years, provide supporting documentation to the Board to qualify in one of the following four categories:
Designated Professional: Applicants holding a pre-approved professional designation automatically qualify for Full Membership.
Full-Time Commercial Practitioner: Applicants are deemed to have received a level of mentorship in commercial real estate by working in a full-time commercial firm for more than two years and can demonstrate they have met the minimum standard of commercial transactions.
Significant Commercial Experience: Applicants can demonstrate that they have significant continuing commercial real estate experience within the past 10 years.
Full Membership: Applicants can demonstrate that they have completed the minimum standard Full Membership requirements in both commercial transactions and commercial education.
The deadline to achieve Full Membership is Thursday, September 30, 2027.
The Board recognizes and appreciates that some members have held Candidate membership for an extended period of time. However, full membership in the Commercial Network is required by CREA within three years. We encourage you to look at courses in Commercial Real Estate in the My Education TLC Calendar on FVREB Connect.
