One of the headlines that caught my eye today when I picked up my Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today was \u201cLook out below: A dollar\u2019s a dollar in Canada.\u201d This article highlighted how the US dollar has weakened vis-a-vis the Canadian dollar over the past few months and, now, the exchange rate is 1 US dollar = 1 Canadian dollar.<\/p>\n

This got me interested. Our friends north of the border may be able to earn their SPSM Certifications cheaper than ever!<\/p>\n

You see, if a Canadian enrolled in the SPSM Certification Program on February 9, they would have had to pay 1355.82 Canadian dollars to fund the equivalent of the SPSM Certification Program\u2019s $1149 (US) price tag. Today, the cost to enroll is just 1149 Canadian dollars \u2013 a difference of over 200 Canadian dollars!<\/p>\n

One of my team members just checked the futures prices for the US-Canadian dollar and it seems like this may be \u201crock bottom\u201d so now just might be the best time for Canadian purchasing professionals to get the career-building benefits of the SPSM Certification at a more affordable price than ever!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
