    How to become

    a CPA, CGA member


    Under the ACCA Mutual Recognition Agreement

    The Canadian CPA profession and the U.K.-based ACCA profession are now in the process of
    negotiating a new agreement that sets out how members of each respective profession can obtain
    the designation of the other. To enable the negotiation, the national bodies representing the two
    professional accounting profession have agreed to withdraw from their existing mutual recognition
    agreement (MRA). The CGA Provincial Bodies and CGA Canada signed the existing MRA with the
    Association of Chartered Certifed Accountants (ACCA) in 2011. Upon unifcation of Canada’s three
    individual accounting bodies in 2014, the commitments of each CGA body who was party to the
    agreement was transitioned to the new CPA body for that jurisdiction. With the exceptions of CPA
    Bermuda, which did not have a legacy CGA body, and CPA Quebec, which gave notice of termination
    to the ACCA on October 17, 2012, the new CPA bodies continued to honor the agreement.

    We are now in the process of negotiating a new agreement that sets out how members of each
    respective profession can obtain the designation of the other. During that negotiation, the terms
    of the previous Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) will be respected for a one-year notice
    period until April 30, 2021. Fully completed applications for membership under the MRA must
    be received by the applicable body by this date. Another 12 months will be provided to process
    completed applications.

    Eligibility under MRA (until April 30, 2021)


    ACCA members wishing to be admitted as a member of a CPA provincial body through the
    Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA) must meet the following requirements:

    1. Obtain membership with ACCA through the completion of the ACCA Professional or Part 3
    examinations and meet experience requirements. Members who obtained membership with
    ACCA through an MRA with another professional body are not eligible to become a member
    of the CPA provincial body pursuant to this MRA.

    2. Do not have any outstanding ethics complaints, nor have been subject to any disciplinary
    sanctions within the five (5) years prior to their application.

    3. Have a degree from a recognized university if you were admitted in ACCA after December
    31, 1997.

    4. Submit a complete application to the appropriate CPA provincial body before April 30, 2021.
    Incomplete applications will not be processed.
