The much-anticipated CPA Canada New Certification program, initially slated for 2025, has now been pushed back to 2027. Recent communication from CPA Ontario and other CPA provincial bodies have confirmed that the launch of the CPA Canada New Certification Program has been postponed to early 2027.
►Last year, CPA Canada said they want to shift away from the traditional three-day Common Final Examination (CFE). Today’s update suggests this will still be the case.
►You can switch to the new CPA certification program once it launches. CPA Canada is creating policies to help you move from the current program to the new one. I expect to see CFEs up to 2028, 2029 and maybe more, until all current students finish the current program and new students start the new program.
►There is no information whether you can register into the new program if you didn’t pass PEP or CFE exams three times and you were de-registered. I will update this as I get new information.
►If you have the flexibility to delay your CPA certification, for example you don’t have CPA program expiry deadline or immediate need for the CPA designation, then I recommend to wait. You’ll get the advantage of seeing what the new 2027 program looks like and deciding which one is easier to pass. However, if you need to get your CPA sooner, or your program expiry is coming up, it’s better to finish under the existing structure now.
