ApplicantCapacity & practical distinctionRoute guidance

Find the field that describes your principal role.

Search by category or participant profile and filter by a compatible route. A shared category does not settle an applicant’s commercial or institutional nature.

The same three questions, different applicants.

These examples illustrate a classification and the accompanying activity description.

Examples illustrate how to describe a profile. They are not actual member records, approvals or assessments. Select your own principal role and explain additional activities separately.

Start with an accurate membership profile.

Pre-application begins a review. It does not create membership or guarantee approval.
