Workforce Applicants

Learn about the benefits of becoming a CPA in Canada, and how having your CPA can enhance your career goals, even without a degree.

If you do not have an undergraduate degree, you may still be eligible for the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP) by fulfilling the eligibility criteria.

​

To do so, you must: 

  • have at least eight years of relevant experience in any of the CPA technical competency areas: Financial Reporting, Strategy and Governance, Management Accounting, Audit and Assurance, Finance, and Taxation

  • successfully complete prerequisite subject area coverage through a post-secondary institution or through the CPA preparatory courses

​

Workforce applicants may be eligible for enrolling in CPA preparatory courses without the required completion of 30-credit hours at a recognized institution.  


To do so, you must:

  • have at least three years of relevant experience in any of the CPA technical competency areas: Financial Reporting, Strategy and Governance, Management Accounting, Audit and Assurance, Finance, and Taxation
