The CA qualification process is designed to make sure you have the opportunity to develop all the skills and abilities you will need to begin your career as a CA. The process is based on professional competency that includes a significant body of knowledge and the skills, values and attitudes needed to analyze, synthesize and apply that knowledge effectively. You will have many opportunities to develop these competencies – during your university education, your subsequent professional education, your Provincial Institute/Ordre's professional education program, and while on the job as you fulfill your experience requirements.
