Canon Professional Services (CPS) Program

The recently announced Canon Professional Services (CPS) program will commence in the first quarter of 2009 and would require existing members to reapply. The program will offer three levels of membership – Silver, Gold and Platinum and benefits vary according to the membership.

This level of membership includes a welcome kit, access to the CPS phone hotline and a 20 percent discount on repairs[i]. For professional photographers requiring a higher level of Canon support, CPS Gold level membership additionally includes access to loan equipment for a two-week trial period and an expedited three-day turnaround on service items.[ii] Along with a 30 percent service discount, CPS Gold level membership includes two free Check & Clean vouchers.
