Highlights

The professional accounting bodies in Canada (CGA, CMA, CA) have undergone a unification which resulted in the formation of one designation (CPA - Chartered Professional Accountant). This resulted in a number of changes to the qualification processes and requirements for SLC graduates planning on entering the CPA program. 

CPA ACAF Certificate Program
Graduates of the accounting diploma programs can pursue the CPA Canada Advanced Certificate in Accounting and Finance (ACAF). A university degree is not required for this certification. For more information on transfer credits, please review the CPA ACAF / St. Lawrence College transfer credit policy.

CPA Program Information
Students interested in pursuing a CPA designation can refer to the CPA Ontario web site for additional information on the CPA program.

The CPA program requires a university degree as an entrance requirement into the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP Program). Graduates from the SLC accounting diploma programs have the opportunity to complete a university degree right here at SLC, as described below.
