Tips on how to complete the Associate application

You can find the application under the ‘membership’ tab on www.camft.ca on the ‘applications page’

If you are a Student member of CAMFT you will be completing the “Transfer from Student to Associate Application”. There isn’t an application fee to transfer to Associate member. 

If you are joining CAMFT as an Associate member you will be using the “Associate member” application. 

Start by reading over the complete application. If you downloaded the application a while ago, please check the website to be sure you are using the most current version. Please read the introduction on page 1. Please send all the required documents to [email protected] at the same time. 

Please fill out every section, even if you put in N/A or previously approved.

Transcript(s)

Please request an Official Transcript be sent from your university directly to CAMFT. Either by email to [email protected] or mailed to the address at the bottom of this webpage. If your transcript does not say when your Masters degree was earned, please send a copy of your degree as well. 

Courses 

Please list all your courses in the “Required Coursework” section. Like all other sections on this application this section must be completed.

Supervision Report Form or Attestation

You must have a signed report (attestation) for any direct client contact hours and systemic supervision hours that you are entering on page 8 in the summary section. This section must be completed. Some universities will provide you with one document to show all the practicum hours you received during your program. As long as it is signed by an authorized individual, we will accept that. If needed you can find a one page ‘Supervisor Attestation Form’ on the ‘applications page’ on our website. 

If you are on the RMFT Track, please include all relevant DCC and supervision hours to date, even if it is greater than the required 150 direct client hours and 30 supervision hours, respectively. This will ensure that we keep an accurate timeline and tally of your hours, and help expedite your RMFT application when you meet those requirements."

Reporting direct client contact and supervision hours on your application. 

Please be sure the numbers you are entering on the Associate application are the same as the numbers on the attestation(s). 

Approved Alternate Supervisor 

If your supervisor is not an RMFT Supervisor, or AAMFT Supervisor, your supervisor must complete an Approved Alternate Application. Ideally, this should have been done at the beginning of your supervision with them. If not, the application is on the ‘applications page’.

Please review your application before submitting it to [email protected]. Be sure all required documents are included in your email. Eg Attestations. You will receive an email acknowledging your application within a few days. If at all possible, please do not submit your application as pictures.
