Corporate membership offers a full range of benefits, including invitations to corporate member-only events and inclusion of the corporate logo and website in the membership directory. In addition to two corporate representatives, other employees can also join as Corporate Affiliate members for a minimal charge. Corporate members are also entitled to a listing in our service directory (online and print).

Small Business & Professional membership suits the needs of small companies (10 or fewer employees) and nonprofit organizations, or professional individuals who are not senior management but would like to be listed under their company name. Since this category entails listing of the member's title company name and contact information in the membership directory, it is an effective way for small companies to promote their name, product or service to a highly targeted audience. Small Business & Professional members are also entitled to a listing in our service directory (online and print).

Individual membership allows members to participate in most Chamber events, receive the full complement of Chamber publications, and make use of the many Chamber resources. However, direct reference to the member's company is not allowed in the membership directory.

Student Special rate for students is in place to encourage young people to enter the networking world early on in their careers.  In order to qualify for the student rates, you must be a full-time student and be able to provide proof of your student status in the form of a copy of your student ID or a letter of acceptance to your academic program.

Non-Resident Corporate membership offers the same benefits as Corporate membership. Of specific interest will be our publications, which will keep you up to date on who's doing what in Japan and provide a convenient window into the Canada-Japan business relationship. Non-Resident Corporate membership also offers an excellent opportunity to promote your company's name, product or service to Japanese and Canadians on both sides of the Pacific.

Non-Resident Individual membership offers the same benefits as Individual membership, and provides a convenient way to stay up to date on developments in the Canada-Japan business relationship.

Our office staff would be pleased to answer any further questions you might have about categories and fees. Answers to basic questions about membership may also be found in our FAQ.
