Transfer as a Student to a Provincial or Regional Body

As a CPA Ontario student, you can transfer your registration to another provincial or regional body. This page details how you can transfer to another CPA provincial or regional body.

Transfer process

If you wish to become a student of another provincial or regional body on the basis of your registration with CPA Ontario, you must remain a student in good standing with CPA Ontario in order to apply to that body.

  1. Log in to My Portal and navigate to Student Requests.
  2. Submit a Provincial Transfer Service Request.
  3. Close off your PERT file by contacting our practical experience team.
  4. CPA Ontario will send your provincial transfer file to the other provincial or regional body.
  5. You will receive instructions from the other provincial or regional body to apply for registration and pay the applicable fees.
  6. Once you are approved to register with the other provincial or regional body, CPA Ontario will be notified, and you will be resigned in good standing and be issued a pro-rated refund.

Please note if you do not complete the registration application with the other provincial or regional body, your transfer will not be finalized.
