The CPA Mentorship Program – A key component of the CPA journey

Enrich your career and give the next generation the skills they need to succeed with our mentorship program, a mandatory part of the CPA practical experience requirements. 

Mentorship is a mandatory component of the CPA practical experience requirements. Future CPAs must have an approved CPA mentor before they can begin their qualifying term. Becoming a CPA mentor offers you the opportunity to make a difference in the professional life of a future CPA. It also provides you and your mentee with a shared opportunity for learning and growth.

To become an approved CPA mentor, simply:

  • Watch the informative 12-minute CPA mentor orientation video to gain an understanding of mentorship expectations and requirements.
  • Register with your provincial/regional CPA body to become a CPA mentor.
  • Await approval before officially starting your mentoring relationship.

To start your mentoring relationship:

  • the profession can match you with any future CPA actively seeking a CPA mentor through the CPA Mentor Match portal, or 
  • a future CPA can identify you as their CPA mentor.
