You are eligible to apply for accreditation as a CGA and membership with CGA Ontario when you have:

• completed the CGA program of professional studies
• met the practical experience requirement, and
• obtained a bachelor degree from a recognized university

CGA Ontario will present your name to the provincial board of governors at its next scheduled meeting. The formal "admission to membership" ceremony is held annually in the fall.

Once admitted to membership, you become a registered member of both CGA Canada and CGA Ontario. You can use your CGA designation in all provinces and territories in Canada and in some overseas locations.

Please note that you are not permitted to practice public accounting in Ontario until you are granted a special licence to do so by CGA Ontario or another Ontario accounting regulatory body.
