Pre-approved practical experience program directory
Current Professional Education Program
Are you on the right page?
This page provides information about the practical experience for candidates enrolled in the current CPA Professional Education Program, ending no later than 2028.
If you plan to enrol in the new CPA Professional Program, offered starting in 2027, please refer instead to the practical experience page for that program, as your practical experience is governed by its requirements and policies.
Many accounting firms and some large organizations have established a pre-approved practical experience program with the Order where the trainees’ tasks are reviewed prior to their arrival. A training principal, a CPA member, is responsible for assigning candidates into the pre-approved tasks of the program.
To assist you in your job search, the Order has put together a pre-approved practical experience program directory. Remember that you can do a period of practical experience in any organization in Canada, whether or not it has a pre-approved program.
Note: : If you wish to obtain a CPA auditor permit and the firm you are looking for is not listed in the directory, write to stages@cpaquebec.ca.
In addition to the directory, see the offers on the Emploi CPA.
