Chartered Professional Accountants Reciprocity Examination

Qualifying members of international accounting bodies who wish to practice in public accounting within Canada must complete the education and experience requirements as set out by each provincial and territorial body. The Chartered Professional Accountants Reciprocity Examination (CPARE) is the educational component of this requirement and is the way the Canadian CPA profession measures the requisite professional competence, in a Canadian context. 

Applicants must enroll in the CPARE Preparatory Module  to be eligible to write the CPARE. 

To determine if you are eligible to register for the CPARE, or to obtain a  letter of eligibility from a CPA provincial office, please contact the provincial/regional body to which you wish to apply for membership.
