There are several advantages to joining the CPS, including the opportunity to attend our annual academic conference and networking with established professionals in the field of demography. The association involves academics, graduate students, government scientists and administrators, among other persons interested in demography and its many applications.  A sizeable proportion of our current membership are employed in the federal government, including Statistics Canada, as well as dozens of university/research institutions/government agencies across Canada.

Graduate students in sociology/economics/geography/planning and policy, among other related fields are encouraged to participate.  We have both annual meetings, as well as Graduate Research Development Conference.

The CPS also offers an annual Award for the best paper presentation to the Conference.  We also have our Job Postings Board.
