Cycling Canada (CC) refers to these athletes as either Independent or Privateers, based on whether the National Team uniform is required by the UCI regulations, as follows: Privateer Athletes: Athletes who are required to wear the National Team uniform at an international event but who are not part of a National Team project. Independent Athletes: Athletes who are not required to wear the National Team uniform but require CC support to secure a quota spot and/or to register for an international event.  The following forms, calendars and policy are intended to help Privateer and Independent athletes access quota spots and the support they need from CC to compete at these events.
