Prerequisite course requirements for CPA PEP and ACAF entry and technical courses can also be met through accredited programs at post-secondary institutions. Please see the links below for provincial transfer guides for post-secondary institutions in Western Canada:
Transfer guides for Ontario, Quebec, or Atlantic Canada are available on the websites for those regions.
CPA transfer credit guides are reviewed annually. However, when assessing transcripts, CPAWSB grants exemption according to the requirements in place when a course(s) was taken, provided the course(s) meets the currency of education and grade requirements for CPA PEP admission.
Courses completed before CPA PEP was launched in 2013 are assessed according to the 2013 CPA transfer credit guides or recognized equivalencies, provided they meet the 10-year currency of education policy for core prerequisites.
Applicants who receive exemptions based on previous years’ transfer credit guides might have knowledge gaps and are encouraged to fill those gaps. Self-study materials are available after CPA PEP admission; applicants are responsible for ensuring they have the knowledge required to support successful completion of the CPA PEP requirements.
