Ontario Announces Changes to CPA Certification Pathway for Postsecondary Students

The Ontario government announced on March 4, 2025, that it is changing the process for postsecondary students seeking the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation. According to the government's statement, the new approach is described as more flexible and modern.

The announcement stated that these changes are intended to help students access careers in accounting. Details about how the process will be adjusted or when the changes will take effect were not included in the release. The Ontario government attributed the intended improvements to increasing accessibility for those starting careers in accounting.

The government release did not specify any measures unique to Moosonee, northeastern Ontario, or other local communities, but indicated the changes apply province-wide. Postsecondary students in the Northeast are expected to be included in those affected by the revised CPA pathway, according to the government.

Further updates and more information about the revised requirements will be provided by the Ontario government as they become available.
