The individual membership categories have recently been changed and updated to reflect the current professional structure in mathematics. Membership rates are based on whether you are a Canadian resident or a non-Canadian resident.
For all 2025 rates, please click here.
This year, the CMS is excited to introduce a variety of renewal options. For those wishing to renew for multiple years, the CMS is presenting a chance to acquire a 4-year membership at the 2025 rate for the upcoming four years on Faculty with Grants Regular Membership. Moreover, in 2025, becoming a CMS lifetime member has never been simpler. CMS has launched a new fee structure for lifetime memberships, offering enhanced value for those interested in permanent membership, with no minimum age requirement.
Regular Membership will apply to mathematicians or math enthusiasts and consists of two sub-categories based on grants:
- Faculty with grants, Professional; or
- Faculty without grants.
Post-doctoral Membership is for individuals up to 3 years after completing their PhD. Your year of degree obtained must be provided when you apply.
Student Membership is open to all students studying in mathematics at a University, College, CEGEP or High School who have an interest in mathematics.
University Sponsored Students Membership applies to students who have been sponsored by their university for membership. University students wanting to participate in this membership are encouraged to contact the Head of their University Math Department.
Retired or Unemployed Membership is for individuals who are retired or unemployed (actively seeking employment).
CEGEP, College, High School Teachers Membership has been expanded to include all those teachers of mathematics from a non-university institution.
Lifetime Membership is available to members of all ages. See lifetime rates.
Note: For members who reside outside Canada and are members of other national mathematical societies, the CMS has reciprocal arrangements with many of these societies. We invite you to join the CMS at our Reciprocal Rates.
Four-Year Rate is for Faculty with Grants members who can pay for four years at the current rate.
Multi-Year Membership (optional)
All categories above, with the exception of unemployed members, will have the option to pay for additional year(s), up to 2 years, at the current rate.
