Roy:
Thanks for advertising for me!
Did you verify my NCH? At least it’s being recognized and supported in Canada.
My next project that I will be working on…for input into the next province to regulate HI’s (and to BC for future amendments) is:
“Only designations from organizations recognized in the HI regulations may be advertised or used within the jurisdiction”
For example…If MICB and CMI was not recognized in the regs, it can’t be advertised or used in that jurisdiction.
Good idea???[/size]
Glad to help and also glad it is recognized by 400~ members .It seems John Q public has zero idea about this but the CMI sure does work for those who have it .I see you still have not answered what the cost is for that usless NCH.
You are wrong about the CMI not being recoginised in Canada it is mine to use for life .
CMI is a registered Canadian trade mark to bad yours is a usless self given 3 letters .
If a jurisdiction says that you can only use and advertise designations from organizations that are recognized in its regulations, whether it is is a registered Canadian tademark or not, HI’s will not be able to use the designation…it’s really that simple. The trademark means that only MICB can award it and that no other group or individual can use the term…but if MICB and CMI are not recognized in the particular government’s regulations, it will become a moot point.
For example, in BC, the CANNACHI CMHI is already accepted but CMI is not. A person with only NACHI and CMI designations cannot practice legally in BC!
When will we be licenced in Ontario Brian?
CMI assumes you are already licensed or operating legally. Read 1.L in http://www.certifiedmasterinspector.org/cmi/coe.html
CMI doesn’t need any government recognition for it to work. It works in licensed states, it works in unlicensed states, it works in states considering licensing, it works in BC, it works in ON, it works everywhere. Ask anyone who has earned it.
Licensing sets a minimum standard and CMI isn’t a school and doesn’t involve itself with helping newbies get legal. CMI is on the other side of the spectrum as the highest professional designation in the inspection industry.
CERTIFIED MASTER INSPECTOR… instantly recognized by consumers (the type of “recognition” that matters) as the very best of the best.
"Does ACHI have such an “acknowledgement” from any of the construction sector parties?"
No, and we didn’t ask for it, because we don’t need the government patting us on the head. But then we didn’t ask for and receive a big chunk of their money either. Which sort of colours their ‘acknowledgement’ a little doesn’t it.* 
:roll:*
Weren’t you a supporter of licensing just mere weeks/ couple of months ago?
It’s your province…you tell me!
I think you find Raymond is like me not afraid of proper licensing .
Not contoled by a self apointed closed door group.
But for your information our MPP tells me it is not even being considered in Ontario.
A few who want control are making lots of noise hoping they will be able to convince every one they are the ones .
For R&R:
While looking through an old thread, this popped out in a post…note the date:
"4/3/08
There’s very little chance BC will have licensing anytime within the next three years."
Hey…** within 11 months, the BC regulations went into effect!!**
Could happen in a province near you!!
In BC, about 100 inspectors (~25%) dropped off the HI map immediately and… 22 months after regulation are slowly making their way back into the business with the proper certifications.
It may need that recognition if governments realize that designations and organizations not approved in their regulations are being used by HI’s within their jurisdiction. (especially if those designations are not rigorous and defendable.)
Please inform Roy that all you have in Canada is trademark protection of CMI and no official recognition in the home inspection field.
See and read:
I am still a proponent of licencing. A made in Ontario solution, not to the dictates of bodies which are not at arms length from one another and rife with conflicts. Nor are they accredited to ICE nor CAN P9.
Its also worth noting that the industry is still fractured even with licencing in BC. Which has three associations competing for members. (CAHPI/ASTT/CanNachi)
As Roy pointed out there is no licencing on the provincial radar. So it remains anything goes territory.
As you know Roy,

You should be taken to PHPIC’ bilingual website. If that doesn’t work, you may want to contact your webmaster if you are not sure what goes wrong.
In my last post, I linked NCH to its website for ease of reference for information that you may be interested, including costs. Again, if that didn’t work, you may want to contact your webmaster if you are not sure what goes wrong.
As for the upkeep of my website, thanks for the reminder!
