Questions About International Education

 

How do I know if my international degree meets the entrance requirements for CPA PEP?

All applicants with international education are required to submit a WES ICAP third-party evaluation. Have the WES report sent to:

CPA Western School of Business
201, 1074 - 103A Street SW
Edmonton, AB   T6W 2P6

WES has provided additional information on its website.

I hold an international accounting designation, how can I be assessed for the CPA program?

Please see https://www.cpawsb.ca/students-and-candidates/international-applicants for information regarding internationally trained accountants.

Do I need to have a study permit on file at the time of the transcript assessment or during the admissions process?

A study permit is not required to request a transcript assessment; however, a study permit is required for anyone who is not a Canadian citizen or permanent resident to enroll with CPAWSB.

 

Do you need a translation to English? How should I submit it? Can I translate my own documents?

If your document is not in English, please have a certified translation sent by mail to 

CPA Western School of Business
201, 1074 - 103A Street SW
Edmonton, AB   T6W 2P6

I paid for a third-party evaluation to verify my transcripts. Why do I need to pay an additional fee to CPAWSB?

The third-party evaluation service and CPA Western School of Business are different organizations. The fee you paid for the third-party report is to verify your international education and identify the Canadian degree equivalency. The CPAWSB transcript assessment reviews the courses you completed and grades received, as identified on the transcript, to determine whether any CPA prerequisite exemptions can be granted.

It’s difficult for me to get another set of international transcripts. Can you send the transcript you received to the third party office on my behalf?

Due to privacy policies, we can only return your transcripts to you. Please ensure your My CPA profile information is correct and contact transcriptassessment@cpawsb.ca.  
 
Please provide the following information:
  • CPA number
  • Current shipping address
  • Name of the document requested
  • Telephone number

I had a third-party evaluation previously completed. Can I submit a copy of that report?

Reports must be sent to CPAWSB directly from the Canadian third-party evaluation organization. Please arrange to have another copy sent directly from the third-party evaluation organization to: 

CPA Western School of Business
201, 1074 - 103A Street SW
Edmonton, AB   T6W 2P6

If the third-party evaluation was completed by a service in the United States, you will need a third-party assessment completed by a Canadian service.

Can you send my international transcripts back to me?

Please ensure your My CPA profile information is correct and contact transcriptassessment@cpawsb.ca. Please provide the following information:
  • CPA number
  • Current shipping address
  • Name of the document requested
  • Telephone number
