To apply for admission and maintain your enrollment with CPAWSB, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident or you must hold a valid study permit.
Before submitting your appendix request, please check that your details, including name and contact information, are correct on My CPA portal. You will be required to submit a new appendix request and incur additional wait times if your information on the portal is incorrect. Please submit your appendix request to prepadvising@cpawsb.ca.
Applying for a study permit requires significant time and resources. Before you start the permit application process, we strongly encourage you to review the requirements directly with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), and speak to a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC), either in your home country or in Canada, who is authorized to advise on Canadian immigration matters, including visas, permits, and permanent residency, and requests to change current status in Canada.
Please Note: CPAWSB is currently not listed on the IRCC website under ‘Designated Learning Institutions with approved Covid-19 readiness plan’. This means that while Canadian border restrictions are in effect during the Covid-19 pandemic, CPAWSB is unable to support individuals who are seeking to travel to Canada to pursue CPA education in Western Canada. Accordingly, CPAWSB is currently not accepting admission applications from temporary residents who reside outside of Canada, even if they hold a valid study permit. As the Covid-19 situation is evolving, we are unable to provide a timeline for how long this will be in effect, although we anticipate this will impact admissions at least through the first part of 2022. This policy is in place until border restrictions are completely lifted.
If your study permit is about to expire, we will require you to provide confirmation from IRCC that you are in the process of renewing your study permit. Email a PDF copy of the confirmation to prepadvising@cpawsb.ca so you can continue your CPA studies.
Please note: An in-progress Permanent Resident application or work permit DOES NOT meet the study permit requirements to maintain student/candidate status.
Prospective learners who do not currently hold a valid study permit
Once your transcript assessment has been completed, CPAWSB can provide you with the “Appendix to the Study Permit: Study Permit Application Request” which contains the Designated Learning Institute Number required for your Study Permit application with IRCC.

You will be required to submit a new appendix request and incur additional wait times if your information on the portal is incorrect. Please submit your appendix request to prepadvising@cpawsb.ca.
