¹ “Member” is defined as a member or friend of CMANA. Annual CMANA membership starts at CAD $50.

² Licensed professional status is determined at the time of application (not the time of the trip), as this establishes the requirements needed to process your application.

³ Students and servants under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to participate in mission trips.

⁴ CAD pricing is based on a fixed exchange rate of USD $1 = CAD $1.36 as of March 6, 2026 (per the U.S. Federal Reserve), valid until December 31, 2026, subject to re-evaluation.
