I will leave the URISA response to others, however, the Association of Ontario Land Surveyors www.aols.org has extended its profession to include Geographic Information Managers.
Upon application and articles, a successful candidate would actually carry a professional designation (O.L.S. O.L.I.P.) as opposed to a certificate. Under NAFTA and GATT this professional designation theoretically allows the holder to work in foreign jurisdictions much more easily than a certificate would.

I am wondering what your thoughts are regarding the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) certification? =20
Also, wondering how people can be held back professionally because GIS was not considered "a profession"? =20
