CPA Canada has cancelled all CPA PEP and Common Final Examination will ICAI and ICSI also follow?

VANCOUVER – Safety concerns over the novel coronavirus are impacting Canada’s professional education program for aspiring accountants. The Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada (CPA Canada) has cancelled all April CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP) and CPA
preparatory course examinations, and the May 2020 Common Final Examination (CFE). In addition, the Capstone 2 module, scheduled to start on April 4, 2020 is cancelled. (More information is available here.)
CPA Canada said in a statement that it is “taking proactive measures to maintain a safe environment” and that it is “dedicated to taking what it believes are the best approaches, based on guidance from public health organizations in an ever-evolving situation.”
The Core 2 workshop was scheduled for the weekend of March 14-15, 2020 and the Capstone 1 presentations were scheduled for March 21-25, 2020. The CPA PEP and CFE calendar provides the dates for all PEP modules and the CFE.

Alternative assignments

CPA Canada is asking all Core 2 candidates to complete a make-up assignment in lieu of the in-person module workshop. This assignment will be marked and the candidates are required to achieve a passing grade on the assignment in order to pass the module workshop component of the Core 2 module.
All Capstone 1 groups must submit a recording of their presentation as an alternative to the in-person presentations. The presentations are the second component of the Capstone 1 module that candidates must pass in order to register for the Capstone 2 module and the CFE.
