Why Should I Obtain a CPA?

There are several reasons for making the investment in a CPA designation.

  1. You may be living in the U.S. or may decide to move to the U.S. or to another jurisdiction where the CPA is more readily recognized than a CA;
  2. You may have clients that are U.S. parents or subsidiaries of Canadian firms;
  3. You may be employed, or decide to become employed by a U.S.-based entity (or a Canadian subsidiary) even if you don’t relocate;

Are you subject to Provincial Institute continuing professional education requirements?

If you are, why not use this opportunity to combine a professional designation with the fulfillment of your continuing professional development commitments?
