Screening Process

All organizations aiming to get accredited under Imagine Canada Standards must submit their application for initial screening. 

During the screening process, your full application will be reviewed to ensure it is optimally ready to be submitted for peer review.

Screening feedback on your application will be provided within approximately one-month from your submission date.

You will then have the opportunity to update and finalize your application prior to submitting it for peer review. 

The screening is a critical aspect of the process and most organizations find this stage helpful.
