Who is it for?
This tool is designed to assist in situations where CPIN milestones are not functional or not available (such as migrated cases, OCW Inter-Agency Case Transfer cases, etc.).

It can also be useful for all CPIN users by helping determine not only the next documentation due date, but also the key elements that should be included in each document to support compliance (compliance checklists are for guidance only — please consult your supervisor, as agency expectations may vary.

Features
◦ Find the next documentation due date
◦ Find your next Review and Agreement Start and End date
◦ Compliance Checklist for each documentation and case type (guidance only, consult your supervisor as agency expectations may be different)
◦ Save the data to your Outlook Calendar and receive reminders (via Outlook calendar) before the Documentation Due Date.
◦ Mobile site accessible from your mobile device

Disclaimer
This tool is intended to align with CPS Standards and CPIN date calculation rules. It calculates due dates as outlined in the Standards, using algorithms that account for both day-based and month-based timelines.

While every effort has been made to match CPS and QIP timeline calculations, in some situations the dates generated by this tool may differ from those shown in CPIN or QIP. This may occur due to differences in calculation methods used across systems and programming approaches.

Additionally, there are several known CPIN application milestone defects that may impact final calculated due dates.

Users of this tool accept it “as is,” without any guarantees, and acknowledge that calculated timelines may differ from those in CPIN, CPS Standards, or QIP guidance.

CPIN Calculator is a learning tool designed to support understanding of CPIN timeline calculations. It is an independent application and is not associated with the Ministry (MCSS), CPIN, or OACAS. CPIN Calculator does not own or claim any rights to the CPIN application.
