Hello, Can I get a template for the Request for Letter of Good Standing from PICPA? Thank you!Hi, @spensierato
1&3) We have our PR visa. - by school we meant the Canadian business school that provides the modules and assists internationally-trained CPA in getting CPA-track units
To update, and for others’ reference: Atlantic School of Business for NS/NB/PEI applicants) says it’ll take 6-8 weeks upon receipt of a complete application (docs, fees, etc) to process assessment of Internationally-Trained CPA candidates.
They also replied within the day of our inquiry.
2. PICPA/PRC - We have an up to date profile with both, sent our request via email (as recommended), and just waiting for bank to open and pay for the request.
To others interested, send your Request for Letter of Good Standing from PICPA to membership@picpa.com.ph (I can share a template separately)
3. Membership with CPA-governing body - Okay. Thanks!
4. Acquiring CPA designation - Thank you for sharing. By 30 months’ work of experience this then refers to Candian work experience?

Hi I'm new here. I am a CPA po here in PH and thinking of being a CPA in Canada. Need pa po ba mamgtake ulit ng 4-5 year course sa Canada or is there a better way to do it?
Hi
This is the info my fiancée got from CPA Atlantic Business School:
The CPA Professional Education Program (PEP)
The academic portion of the Canadian CPA PEP is offered through online, part-time learning with mandatory in-person workshops and exams, which require students to be physically present. The CPA PEP consists of six online modules with one two-day workshop per module (plus an additional orientation workshop) as well as in-person final exams. These modules are followed by a 3-day Common Final Exam (CFE) to complete the academic program criteria.
Additionally, there is a practical experience component which requires the equivalent of 30 months of full time, relevant employment. This is separate from the academic criteria and it is the responsibility of the student to secure relevant work experience to satisfy this component.
IFAC Member Applicant Process

Thank you sir. Questions lang po (1) How long po usually tumatagal ung per module? (2) Yung 30 month full-time work experience po ba is sa Canada dapat ma-gain? (3) Tinignan ko po ung website ng Atlantic Business School, meron po silang different advisors per province (if tama po pagkakaintindi ko), if I want to contact them any of the provinces po ba okay lang?
Hi uli
1) Ito yung Sample Path Plan
2) Di pa namin natanong but when you contact with CPA ~ Business School coordinators, likely macconfirm nila for you
3) Yes, different siya per area. May province na ba kayong napili? Baka makanarrow yun ng iccontact niyo.
Thank you so much po!
Wala pa po kaming napiling province, actually ngayon ko pa lang naisip na gusto ko itry. HeheOkay! Sent you a PM rin pala. Good luck!Thank you so much po!
Hello po. May I know what is the difference in applying in CPA Atlantic School of Business versus CPA Ontario?
Hello, I just registered as a student in CPA ontario and I just want to know more about the accomplishment of the Practical Experience Certification form for ITAs (ECF). For the portion of the third-party declaration, should it be someone with a CPA designation as the form is requiring a membership number? What if my direct supervisor is not a CPA? Thank you.
Hello po, I am a BSA graduate po last year, I was supposed to take the board exam this May kaso po na-cancel and to be resched for October po, pero still tentative. Our PR application is still on process because my Dad still has to complete his medical treatment which is monitored by the Immigration and yung end po nun is expected to be March 2021 and by then we hope to fly to Canada po. As of now, I am still looking for a job to gain more experience since yung internship ko din po is for 3 months lang. Can I ask for advice po on how I will be able to land a job in Canada?? Am I going to find an opportunity even if its a nonCPA position? Do I still need to study again po ba? Maraming salamat po
Hi,
This information would have been in a pack CPA Ontario sent you if you had indeed reached out.
Have you read through all the information? It’s there somewhere.
