In any event, to my knowledge, the professional orders are governed by each of the provinces. For example, in Quebec, it's the Office des professions du Québec who administers or supervises all professions such as architects, engineers, lawyers and so forth. It's the same in other provinces.
So really, your association is not a professional order, it's a professional association. I'd understood that you were asking for help from the Government of Canada to have your group or your name accepted.
Is that correct?
