Information on the College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO)

For information regarding the CNO, please visit the CNO website.

Are RNAO fees tax deductible?

Every year, a number of members ask RNAO’s membership team: “Are RNAO fees tax deductible?”

The College of Nurses of Ontario (CNO) requires all of its members who are registered to practise to have professional liability protection (PLP). Because PLP is automatically included in your RNAO membership, it may be tax deductible.

RNAO recommends you consult a tax professional if you’re unsure about your personal circumstances.

RNAO membership cancellation policy

RNAO's membership year begins on Nov. 1 and ends on Oct. 31. As of Mar. 1 of a given membership year, refunds will not be provided for membership cancellations or membership modification requests. Current RNAO members will be unable to switch membership fee categories until the renewal process has begun for the following membership year.

If a member chooses to cancel their membership prior to Mar. 1 for a refund, a weighted deductible will be paid by the member based on the duration of membership to date, as well as a $30 cancellation fee. These fees will not be applied for members who are cancelling their membership with the intent to switch to a different membership fee category for the current membership year. This is not applicable to members who pay their membership via monthly payment options.

Membership addons such as LAP® and Interest Groups are non-refundable.

An associate from RNAO's Membership & Services department will email members to inform when we are unable to process payments scheduled to be made on a monthly basis. Members will be given the opportunity to make payment arrangements for missed and subsequent payments. Consecutive non-payment of monthly fees will result in termination of membership.

Continuous renewal

By selecting continuous renewal when you purchase your membership, you authorize RNAO to continuously collect funds for your membership.

With this authorization, your RNAO membership will continue indefinitely until you have made a request via email to membership@RNAO.ca.

Non-payment of fees will result in termination of your membership. For credit card payments, RNAO will store the last four digits of your credit card. Please advise RNAO of new credit card information.

    Payment options

    We offer the following payment options at no extra cost:

    Pre-authorized installments (includes continuous renewal)

    • Credit/debit card monthly payments
    • Montly withdrawal from your bank account

    Lump sum credit card:
