The CPA profession in Canada is updating the CPA certification program to align with Competency Map 2.0. This includes refreshing the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP), its exams, and the practical experience requirements. Collectively, these reimagined components form the CPA Professional Program.
Developed through extensive consultation with over 4,000 stakeholders, including employers, academics, students and CPAs across the country, and launching in 2027, the CPA Professional Program will equip CPAs to lead business forward in a fast-moving world.
