Cancellation or Withdrawal

Please note that by accepting your nomination, you have already entered into a binding commitment to participate in the Residency Programme. This includes agreement to the terms outlined in the cancellation policy attached below. Withdrawals made after 19 November 2025 will be subject to cancellation charges, unless covered by the mitigating circumstances outlined in the policy.

Given the high costs associated with the delivery of programmes and activities, it is essential that travellers are able to commit to attending. As such, any last-minute withdrawal will result in the traveller or Branch being held accountable to reimburse costs associated with the activity (such as flights, accommodation, etc) if they are unable to produce justifiable reasons for the last-minute withdrawal or cancellation. These justifiable reasons or ‘mitigating circumstances’ are serious occurrences beyond the traveller or Branch’s control and which significantly disrupts the travellers ability to participate fully in an activity, programme or meeting in-person. Mitigating circumstances refer only to the following situations:

1. Experiences unforeseen/unexpected visa issues (having applied for visas in good time and having followed the application requirements).
2. Suffers significant illness, accident, injury or death.
3. Experiences sudden death or illness of immediate family member.
4. Victim of a serious crime.
5. Seriously impacted by an unexpected natural disaster.

Travellers will be expected to provide proof of the above in good time, in writing, with accompanying evidence to the CPA Headquarters Secretariat. The decision as to its validity will be determined by the CPA Secretary-General and all decisions are final.
