As a member of CA Sri Lanka, you can chose one of the below mentioned two pathways to obtain your CPA Canada membership.

1) Challenge Path

• Challenge the examinations of Core 1 and Core 2 Modules* (Final Exams only)
• Challenge the examinations of two Elective Modules* (Final Exams only)
• Capstone 1 Module

After your student registration is approved, and once you enrol in a CPA PEP module, you can apply for an exemption from the prescribed practical experience requirement (30 months) by submitting a Practical Experience Form for Internationally Trained Accountants for each of your previous employers and current employer. Both international and Canadian experience can be considered.
