Hello po,

anyone here from Toronto who tried to challenge the exam? Nagsisimula palang ako magcollect ng requirements ko for assessment and my workmate here informed me na pwede na daw ako magchallenge ng exam para di ko na i-take yung module.

Hi Tintin, just touching base kung nakapag challenge exam kana kelangan paba mg module zero talaga? Nag ba browse ako ng available materials sa website peru parang hndi sufficient.

Hi there! hindi ako nagchallenge ng exam. pero yung kawork ko ichachallenge nya exam, she's from china and super solid na ng experience nya. e ako 4 years palang experience ko sa industry kaya sabi ko magtake nalang muna ako ng module para sure. hahahaha. yung module zero ata di na kailangan i-enroll, online study materials lang yun to bridge the gap - ibibigay ata access kapag registered as student na ikaw ng cpao. hndi ko sure pero yun nabasa ko. about naman sa materials, ginawa ng kawork ko, nanghiram nalang sya sa isa pa naming kawork ng mga ginamit nya nung nagcpa din sya, wala kasi talaga mahanap sa online.

Hindi ba kailangan magenroll before challenging the exam? I have friends who challenged some mods pero nagbayad parin sila for the module.

you mean mag enroll sa module or magregister as student? kapag ata magchallenge ka no need to enrol for module, pero kailangan mo magregister as a student. student registration 400+ kpag second half of the year ka na nagregister (july to dec) 800+ if january to dec.


no need to enrol for module kung ichachallenge mo exam

Singit lang ako.. sa CPA ATLANTIC ako sa New Brunswick ako..

Samin CAD 400 per module yung challenge exam. Pero ung 2 core modules and 2 elective modules lang. kasi capstone 1 and 2 dapat enrol ka muna module..first attempt, bayad ka. Second attempt, enroll ka na sa Specific module and take the exam again. Third attempt, need mo muna tapusin yung specific module bago re-take.

Then dapat meron ka 30 months Canadian experience bago mo makuha CPA title. Ung worked experience natin sa pinas, sa cpa atlantic para lang ma qualify ka sa challenge exam and program

Hi fellow CPAs, quick question. Would you prefer to be a private or public accountant once you have acquired your CPA Canada designation? Anyone from Canada na nag public practice? Thanks!

As of now wala pa ko nasisimulan aside from registering for admission and paying cad$900 for initial registration. According to them no modules will be provided if I opted the challenge exam as compared to taking the full modules.. By the way, here's another update after I inquire if there's any limit of taking the challenge exam..

"Candidates with a challenge exam are allowed one attempt at the exam. If they do not pass on their first attempt then they must take the full module before they can take the exam again."

Hi Andy! baka may breakdown ka how much would be the initial cost. Have you started with the modules? ilang modules kinuha mo while working? sorry daming tanong.. hehe!

initial registration cost cad$420, annual dues $1,000, cost of module $1,220, exam fee per module $530... ang mahal noh? this is already when you start the module, iba pa yung mag papaassess ka pa lang ng credentials

Malaking investment talaga ang CPA nila dito. If may chance kayo, find an employer or a training office that will shoulder your education.

mahal ng annual dues, kaya can afford sila sa dami ng tv ads lol

Guys,

Does anybody here planning to take CPA Ontario? My partner and I have recently landed. We are both professional Accountants and CPA from another country. Upon assessment by CPA Ontario, they have determined that we need to do the following in order to be designated as CPA in Ontario:

> Challenge the examination of Core 1 and Core 2 modules
> Challenge the examination of two elective modules
> Capstone 1 Module
> Capstone 2 Module
> Common Final Examination (CFE)
> Practical Experience Requirement
> Course and/or program in Canadian taxation, Canadian business law, ethics and the CPA Code of Professional Conduct

I wonder if you encounter the same thing because my senior who landed a year before us, who has the same qualifications as we do, doesn't have to challenge the exams anymore. She has to do the 2 capstone modules, CFE and a course in business law only. I'm not quite sure why our requirements are different. I mind because taking the above would be quite expensive.

Thanks in advance for your comments and advice.

Hi Everyone!

I want to work in Canda but I don't know where to begin. I just passed the October 2016 exam but I have been working as a Financial Analyst for more than a year. I know kulang pa po ako sa experience pero gusto ko po talagang subukan. Tama po bang sa agency ako dumaan para may tutulong sakin sa mga proseso? And if yes, may mai-rerefer po ba kayong agency sa Pilipinas? Thank you so much in advance!
