Pre-Approved Program Route (PPR) refers to an employer training program that is approved by a provincial professional body in advance of hiring any specific employee. These programs have been specifically designed to provide CPA candidates all their required practical experience within 30 months.

​

The following list identifies all PPR offices in the Atlantic Canada and Bermuda.

​

Please note that practical-experience requirements for public accounting are, for the most part, not additional requirements. They are specific choices you can make within the general requirements for CPA certification.

​

If you have any questions about CPA practical-experience requirements or PPR organizations, please contact the CPA Atlantic School of Business.
