Hi,

To my knowledge, there's not exam in the Philippines that will make you a CPA in Canada right away. That said, you'll want to start reaching to any of the business schools here in Canada to request for their list of requirements you'll need to send for them to assess. i.e. If you plan to move to Atlantic Canada, you can reach out to Atlantic Business School. It is possible to be exempted from prep courses, and be eligible to challenge module exams off the bat. That however, depends on the results of your assessment. You might also be required to prove status of your residency in Canada. Will you be a PR coming in? Will you be a student taking further courses and then taking up prep courses for CPA...

Hope this helps.

Cheers

Hello, I'm a CPA in the Philippines, passed the CPA board exam in October 2016 and have accumulated 4 years of experience in auditing firms in Makati. If ever I plan to pursue Canadian PR, what are the job options (positions, job description) available immediately for me to apply in Canada, considering I will not immediately take any steps to obtain Canadian CPA designation yet when I get there.

PS. before I land, I am planning to take the UK certification of Certified accounting technician which is recognized in Canada.

Thank you so much!

Hello mga kabayan!! I graduated from college during aug 2017 and passed the CPA exam last may 2018. I'm already here in alberta and was wondering if mas maganda kunin yung Masters in Accounting program(MAcc) ng University of Alberta rather than taking the usual PEP route since pagka-graduate ng MAcc, board exam agad (no need to take modules, electives and capstones). Nakaktuwa lang na pagkagraduate, may master's degree na, tapos pwede na mag final exam (CFE)
Hello po. Planning to study po ako next year sa Alberta. Ano po kayang mas ok na itake tung Business Ad Diploma-Accting po ba or magpatransfer credits ng mga natapos na na sub dto sa PH. Iniisip ko po kasi if both prang 2 yrs dn sila. Thank you.

Hello, do we need IELTS for CPA PEP? If yes this would obviously be acad right? also, ano po kya required band score?

Can we take po ba agad ung CPA PEP without taking the modules? Thank you so much!

No IELTS required
But to be safe, you’ll have to reach out to the school in charge of CPA PEP in Vancouver for eligibility requirements (that’s easily Google-able)

My partner was required to submit:
  • Certificate of Good Standing from PICPA (PICPA will send to the school in charge of VAN CPAs)
  • Eligibility Request Form
  • Letter of Reference
  • Resume
  • WES Evaluation (that WES will release to the school in charge of VAN CPAs)
