Who can have a user account on ccrweb.ca (the website of the Canadian Council for Refugees)?
A representative of a member organization
Each CCR member organization decides who can have an account on ccrweb.ca as their representative (e.g. whether only staff members, or board members and volunteers).
The account administrator for the specified member organization receives a notification whenever someone requests a user account as a representative of that organization.
Associate members are individual, non-voting members.
-
Should I check the ‘Associate member’ option?
Do not check ‘Associate Member’ unless the Canadian Council for Refugees has approved you as an Associate Member and you pay the annual fee.
Associate Members are individual non-voting members. There is a formal application process to become an Associate Member.
CCR Associate Members include lawyers, retirees, teachers and others. Government and media representatives cannot be Associate Members, however.

Should I check the ‘administrative account’ option on the ccrweb.ca account sign-up page?
Only check ‘administrative account’ if this is the main user account responsible for managing the organization’s information with the CCR. Each member organization should have ONE administrative account to manage information and user accounts for their organization.
In addition, there can be as many individual accounts as desired for each member.
Your organization may already have an administrative account on ccrweb.ca If you are in doubt, don’t check ‘administrative account’. Send an email to ccrweb@ccrweb.ca for more information.
Here is the difference in roles between administrative accounts and individual accounts:
| What they can do: | Individual account | Administrative account |
| Register for CCR meetings and webinar at member rates | ✓ | ✓ |
| Access information for CCR members only | ✓ | ✓ |
| Join discussions on ccrweb.ca for CCR members | ✓ | ✓ |
| Receive regular updates for CCR members | ✓ | ✓ |
| Manage online information about their organization | ✓ | |
| Manage/approve affiliated individual account requests | ✓ |
