加拿大特许专业会计师 CPA (Chartered Professional Accountant)

2013年，加拿大三大会计师协会：CA、CGA、CMA宣布全面合并，成立加拿大唯一的加拿大特许专业会计师团体(Chartered Professional Accountant)，简称CPA。CPA是全球会计联盟（Global Accounting Alliance，简称 GAA）的成员之一,与英、美、澳、日、香港等国家和地区认可度最高的会计师协会签订会员互认协议，提升了自身会员的全球流通性。

想要注册CPA，必须参加CPA提供的课程学习，即CPA PEP，但是想要参加PEP的学习，必须有本科学位，并且有指定科目的学习(The specific subject
areas may be covered during the undergraduate program, or through additional courses offered by universities, colleges, or various bridging programs.)才可以。对于不满足要求的申请人，还可先参加一个预科课程，即CPA PREP，完成预科学习后，再申请CPA PEP课程的学习。或者参加PEP认可的大学提供的学习课程也行。学习完PEP课程并且通过考试，还需要有相关的执业经验，才可以成为真正的CPA。
