Legacy CMA Practical Experience Requirements

Next steps

1. Review the CPA Practical Experience Requirements.
2. Log in to PERT.
3. Submit a Pre-Assessment for your current position, or indicate your Pre-Approved Program.
   • If you are not employed in a CPA Ontario Pre-Approved. Program, you will be reporting via the Experience Verification Route (EVR) and must submit a pre-assessment.
   • If you are employed in a CPA Ontario Pre-Approved Program, you will be reporting via the Pre-approved Program Route (PPR), in which a pre-assessment is not required.
4. Add your registered mentor to your PERT profile.
   
   • If you do not have a mentor, you can request a mentor via the Mentor Match Portal. To gain access, please email us.
   • If you would like your current supervisor to be your mentor, please have them register via the mentorship page.
   • If you are employed in a Pre-Approved Program, your mentor is assigned to you by your Program Manager.
5. Submit your prior experience.
   • Once your employment has been approved in PERT and you have added your mentor, you can begin reporting, which includes submitting your prior experience.
   • Experience that was reported in iSkills does not automatically transfer over to PERT. It must be submitted in a prior experience report, of which a maximum of 12 months will be recognized, if eligible.
