Past experience has shown me I can not trust them to do it properly.
..... I wonder Could this be another WHISTLER?.....!!!!!
CAHPI will soon be trying to convince all how YOU! should join and get your National Certification .
I am lead to believe this will only cost about $1,000:00 to take.
I expect CAHPI will tell how great it will be and how you too can make a lot of money.
( they say you do not have to join CAHPI ) but it will be much better if you do . ( FOR CAHPI I GUESS ).
Those who do not will be left behind ( SO CAHPI SAYS ).
OAHI is the organization who does not answer mail or look after out standing complaints . ( Some over 15 months old )
OAHI is the association who has spent so much money they are raising the members dues. ( are they in financial trouble ?)
( I guess they continue to loose too many members ).
OAHI says NACHI will be finished this next spring. WOW! Can you say they high HOPES! ( TO GET RID OF THE "Nachos")
I understand that CAHPI has some ex Canadian Members of NACHI trying to help them get organized.
OAHI is the association who refuses to have a proper audit and still has not presented a proper audit for a long long time .
I feel there is no way they can even hope to have this go ahead with out complete co-operation fron NACHI and all its Canadian Members.
(“While CMHC and the Government of Canada have no role in the certification of private home inspectors, the Corporation understands that the signing of certification equivency agreements between CAHPI and other certifying organizations is the key to national implementation”)
It should be very interesting OAHI says it will have a self Insurance Plan for its members in Jan 2006
Many spent over $1,000:00 to go too whistler last year to get certified.
I have not heard of any doing ( The huge amount of PDI ) inspections promised .
The PDI session in Whistler will count as 'The Course' for all attending, and CAHPI will be giving those people the CAHPI PDI Certification.
The difference is that since CMHC is heavily subsidizing this 'session' and it is our pilot session, the attendees will be expected to provide information and feedback about the course and protocols and their field experience. There will be 120 'consultants' at this session. Since the CMHC subsidy basically saves our inspectors around $ 12,000 in total, we felt that nobody would mind helping out a bit.
There will be several courses offered at a later date. We hope to have these courses delivered in every province within the next few months. CMHC estimates that about 200,000 homes in Canada will need this inspection each year, so we need to get people properly trained and certified.

Once again, that might be true about local realtors, but NOT the
leaders. If you had sat in on our meetings, you would have been
very impressed with the way they showed their support and
allegiance to CAHPI. I didn’t hear the name of any franchises.
However, we did discuss one group of inspectors called Nachos or
something which they thought was a sad joke on consumers.
The President of CREA has asked us (CAHPI) to be part of a two
way task force to develop and discover ways the two associations
can work together to improve relations and help consumers. They
are most interested in our training and education than anything
else. The least talked about topic was insurance.
The President of OREA has also asked OAHI to open up the lines of
communications more. Great things are possible in Ontario.
CAHPI now has the recognition we wanted, and we will now work on
several initiatives with CREA, OREA , BCREA, etc.
