CAE Fee Schedule

As administrators of the Canada Awards for Excellence program, NQI must provide adjudication and other services to maintain the integrity of the award program. The fees below help to defray some, but not all, of the costs associated with the submission evaluation and adjudication process. In cases where travel and accommodation expenses apply, we make every effort to keep costs to the minimum that is reasonable to conduct the work required. The fee schedule is designed to make the awards accessible to all organizations, regardless of size.

• GST: Please add 7% GST to all fees when submitting payment

• Travel Expenses: Please note that travel, accommodation and meals are in addition to these fees

• Multiple Verification Site Visit Fees: For potential award recipients whose submission covers multiple locations, requiring visits to more than one location, additional site visit fees may be charged at per location. If Multiple Sites-fee per site Schools :n/a, Small Org $ 1,000.00, Medium size $ 1,500.00, Large Org: $ 2,500.00

• Feedback Report: Please note that the CAE adjudication process is a verification exercise, not an assessment. Accordingly, while NQI will provide general feedback, NQI is not responsible for detailed feedback other than informing potential award recipients whether or not they have achieved CAE award status. If more comprehensive feedback is required, please contact NQI for assessment services fees. Assessment fees are based on number of locations and scope of work (to be confirmed upon discussion). New CAE rules commencing in 2006 require organizations to conduct a detailed self-assessment prior to application, the results of which should be included with your application.

• Note: prices are subject to change without notice. NQI member discounts do not apply.
