Political | ||
| PC French: CP | Privy Councillor | A Privy Councillor is also entitled to be styled "The Honourable" or "L'honorable" for life. The post-nominal letters are necessary to denote that someone is a privy councillor because in Canada holding a certain office can also allow the use of The Honourable title. Unlike what is done in the United Kingdom, the post-nominals "PC" have precedence over all Crown honours with two notable exceptions: the Victoria Cross ("VC") and the Cross of Valour ("CV").[6]
In practice, post-nominals are not usually translated from one language to another, but this is an exception. |
| ECNS | Member of the Executive Council of Nova Scotia | Used for members (including honorary members) of the Executive Council of Nova Scotia since 2007. |
| ECA | Member of the Executive Council of Alberta | Used for members (including honorary members) of the Executive Council of Alberta. Bill 1 was passed by the Legislative Assembly of Alberta on 24 March 2022. Section 7 stipulates that every member and honorary member of the Executive Council may use these postnominals. Section 6 states that every former living member as of 6 February 2022, and anybody who becomes a former member of the Executive Council, is designated as an honorary member.[7] |
| MP | Member of House of Commons of Canada | Letters are short for "Member of Parliament". This title is used in Canada and other Commonwealth nations to describe members of the lower house of Parliament only. The Senate of Canada is part of Parliament, but its members are not called MPs. |
| MPP | Member of the Ontario Legislative Assembly after 1938 | Letters are short for "Member of Provincial Parliament". Before 1938, members used MLA. |
| MNA | Member of the National Assembly of Quebec after 1968 | Before 1968, members used MLA. |
| MLA | Member of the Legislative Assembly | Used for members of provincial and territorial legislatures except Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland and Labrador. |
| MHA | Member of the Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly | Only used for members of the Newfoundland and Labrador legislative assembly. Even though Nova Scotia's assembly is called the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, its members are styled MLAs. |
Academic degrees
The exact hierarchy of professional degrees relative to academic degrees varies. For example, a Bachelor of Laws degree (LLB) from North American schools is treated as equivalent to a Juris Doctor degree (JD). On the other hand, a Bachelor of Applied Science degree (BASc) at many schools can be done straight of out highschool, and is treated as the same level as academic bachelor's degrees like a Bachelor of Arts degree.
In academic contexts, it is common to give an abbreviation of name of the school awarding the degree after the letters for the degree itself. The way school names are abbreviated can vary. For example, a PhD from Memorial University of Newfoundland can be found written as PhD (MUN) or PhD (Memorial). When a person has multiple degrees from the same school, the school name is only written once, after all degrees from that school.
