CHRP

About CHRP

According to Wikipedia, Certified Human Resources Professional or CHRP is a designation achieved by human resources professionals in Ontario. As of October 2016, the CHRP designation outside of Ontario has been rebranded as the CPHR . The rebrand occurred after Ontario's provincial HR association, the HRPA , left the national body, and unilaterally created a three-tiered designation for their province. They also relegated the formerly single-tier CHRP designation, to the entry-level tier of their system. This meant that the rest of Canada's HR associations had to either accept the HRPA's three-tiered model themselves or retain the nationally recognized CHRP designation under a different name. Established in 1994, the Chartered Professionals in Human Resources Canada is a collaborative effort of human resources associations in nationally, formerly known as Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations . In 2016, the CCHRA and the member associations agreed to change the national HR designation to CPHR™, and the new entity CPHR Canada was created.
