PASSES

CPD Passes for Legal Professionals

LPEN passes give you expert-led CPD training for Canadian immigration practitioners and Ontario paralegals, without registering course by course. Every pass includes the recordings and the materials, so nothing is lost if you cannot make the live session.

No pass matches all three filters. Clear one and try again, or the Annual Membership covers everything for the year.

How LPEN passes are built

A pass is a group of courses bought together for less than they cost one at a time. There are three kinds, and the right one depends on how much of the year you want.

Seasonal passes

Whatever runs in that stretch of the year, bought in one go. The subjects vary, because the programme does.

Specialty passes

One subject, covered properly. Take these when you want depth in a practice area rather than breadth across the year.

The Annual Membership

The whole programme, plus mentorship sessions, the listserv and Academy. By some distance the best value if you want more than a handful of courses.

Recordings always included

Attend live where the session is still ahead. Either way the recording and the materials are yours.

MOST COMPREHENSIVE

Earlier years

Recordings only. Every session in these passes has run, and they are here because the law in them still holds and the material is still useful.

Before you count these hours. A course’s accreditation lapses a set period after it is delivered, so courses from an earlier year may no longer count toward a reporting requirement even though the content is sound. Check the individual course page, or ask us.

What every pass includes

Live where the session is ahead

Join the session, ask questions, and keep the recording afterwards.

Recording and materials

Every course in your account, with its slides and written materials, ready when you are.

Certificate of completion

Work through the course, mark the lessons complete, and download the certificate.

Everything in one place

Buying creates your lpen.ca account. Your courses live under My Courses, not in your inbox.

Accreditation is granted course by course and can lapse a set period after the live session. If you are counting hours toward a reporting requirement, check the individual course page before you buy.

Questions about passes

The ones we are asked most before people buy. Anything else, the form below reaches a person.

Every course listed in that pass. Where the session is still to come you can attend it live; where it has already run, the recording and the written materials are in your account the moment the payment goes through. Each course carries a certificate of completion once you have worked through it.

No. A session that has happened is a recording. Each pass above says how many of its sessions are still ahead and when the next one is, so you can see before you buy. Nothing is lost either way: the recording and the materials are the same content.

Accreditation is granted course by course, by the relevant regulator, and it can lapse a set period after the live session. Courses from the current year’s programme are the safe answer; for anything older, check that course’s own page before you count the hours.

Requirements differ by regulator and, for lawyers and paralegals, by province.

No. A pass is licensed to one person. Sharing the account or the materials means access is removed and no refund is given. See Terms §5.2. If you need to cover a team, email us and we will quote it properly.

A course that has not yet taken place can be cancelled within 3 days of purchase, for a full refund less the payment processing fees. Courses that have already run, where the recording and materials are immediately available in your account, cannot be refunded. See Terms §3.

Dates and particulars do change, and LPEN contacts everyone who has bought the course when they do. Where a single course inside a pass is cancelled, the pass itself is not reimbursed. See Terms §6.

Yes, and people do. A seasonal pass plus a specialty pass is a common combination. Check the course lists first: some courses appear in more than one pass, and buying both will not refund the overlap. If you want most of the year, the Annual Membership is almost always the better value.

All prices are in Canadian dollars. Payment is by credit card or PayPal at checkout, and buying creates your lpen.ca account at the same time. Discount codes are entered in the cart.

Still deciding?

Look at the programme itself. The courses are the product, and a pass is simply a better way to buy several of them.
