The Canadian Personal Property Appraisers Organization (CPPAO) is a national, Canadian-founded organization specializing in personal property appraisals. Its coast-to-coast network of accredited appraisers represents a wide range of expertise from across the country.

The Evolution of Personal Property Appraiser Training in Canada
The Canadian Personal Property Appraisers Group (CPPAG) was co-founded in 1995 by 2 original partners and the partnership was dissolved in 2025. The Canadian Personal Property Appraisers Organization (CPPAO) was founded in 2025 to provide for a transition to former CPPAG members holding the CPPA™ designation so that Canadian appraisers will continue to benefit by holding a Canadian made appraiser designation that will be supported by the new entity (CPPAO).
