5 Types of CPA Canada Exam Cases
When you open your CPA Canada exam case, what format is it going to be? Is it going to be a lengthy narrative with AOs? Is it going to be dialogue format? This "unknown" may be adding to your nervousness for the CPA exam. In this video, I show 5 different types or styles of cases that CPA authors use when preparing cases. Understanding these will help reduce your surprise. Here are 5 most common types:
► (1) The Classic: Common in Core 1, it has a narrative followed by appendices. The narrative includes background info, user info, and requireds
► (2) The Short-form: The narrative is brief, with the first appendix providing background information and AOs. The narrative often takes up only 1/3 of the page.
► (3) Chit Chat: This dialogue format is a discussion between users, with AOs included in the dialogue. It appears in Core 1, Core 2, CFE, and other levels. Day 1 of CFE always uses this format.
► (4) Email format: The narrative is an email with embedded requireds. Authors might include sticky notes, text message bubbles, etc.
► (5) Presentation: This style features a presentation followed by a discussion or additional information.

Should I enroll for cpa program or should i wait? Please reply
HELLO, Is so impressive all the work that you have put it for people to understand and get better at their exams and courses. I am new in Canada and I was looking to be a CPA to add it to my knowledge; I think it is a good thing to add to my knowledge because of my company. Anyway, I wanted to ask you about the process and if you have a video explaining what is the best way to get done all the courses. The page says that it can take 30 months. I want to do it in less than that; I have time and accounting knowledge already. So, I was wondering about your recommendation on it. and of course guide me on where to start to buy the review of the courses in your page. exited to hear from you.
What about getting an MBA to meet the 150 credits required to become a CPA? So, getting the MBA before the CPA?
Hello Gevorg, just found your channel, thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Do you offer mentorship? I'm currently in the CPA Ontario program.
I was surprised I got 4 NCs in MCQs and still passed Core 1, I am so scared they will take my pass because they found out it's a mistake... I really need a study guide to study MCQ harder on my Core 2
Hi Gevorg, Good informative video, so if a CPA wants to have a leadership role in a company so what additional qualifications do they need to be in that leadership role.
Hi, is there any way to get help for writing PER!? I received two level 0 for the MA and FR I submitted, as CPA believe, I gathered data instead of preparing the reports. It seems I failed to explain it properly.
Great video! Can you part some advice for those considering CFA after CPA?
fantastic video, really well made. thank you!
What are the May 2024 topic you expect

Do you havebto link to check licensing in Providences? I prefer Assurance and PM. Can i get a license with thise?
Can you consider slowing down when you are talking, I am sometimes losing track of what are you explaining. I understand it's too many subjects you are covering but it would be easier to follow your instruction if you would please speak a bit a slower.
I feel like again any new area showing rapid growth is being slowed down as In the last month or so Canada and US Current CPA companies are for sale as (retirement) bought again, full cloud implementation, new valuation ( usually 50-120percent increase ) to resell again were bigger cpa Corporations consolidate smaller businesses to full acquisition while implementing 2.0 model for future certification. Which requires up to 85 percent less work force (explaining current layoffs were lots rather get over all this liability as quick as possible... increasing the gross profit margins by lots. Creating easily 1M in profits that are completely disrupting not only the CPA industry with every other industry around. By 2025-26 and closer to be determined mandatory date . The global market could be already saturated were the early bird's who are already on it adapting to every updates will be the ones now in control of the market becoming CPA corporate giants , leaving a door to govt partnerships who will attempt to control the industry at best leaving little room then for small businesses or starting entrepreneurs who won't be able to have the same seat . Again breaking them down to stay down.. my 2 cents
Any news on if the evr path would be different?
In the absence of information, I would say wait. You are only young and healthy once.
@@abcdedfg8340 stop gatekeeping others to become CPA. I know you are the type that want CPA to remain elite and have as few candidates and members as possible. Hence you are giving dumb advice to people and ask them to defer becoming CPA.
Personally, I would never wait for the new program if I were a candidate. Gevorg's advice is - if you don't have an immediate need for CPA you can wait, but I don't think that should be recommended. Just think of the timeline: -Program implemented in 2027 (earliest), assuming no more delays, which could very well happen due to the Ontario & Quebec divestitures. -CFE will likely continue to run until 2029 to 2030 to allow students to finish the old program. -First few years, no matter what, is going to be messy and likely attract a lot of bad reviews. -By the time the program stabilizes would be around 2032/2033. -By then, if you realize the new program is harder to pass, you can't go back to the old CFE. If you are willing to wait this long, I question why you would even be in the CPA program. That's almost 8 years of waiting. My recommendation is to do your CFE ASAP under the old program. There are also a lot of members advocating CPA to be harder and a lot of gatekeeping (see how CFE pass rates have dropped from 82% to 70% in just under 10 years). Some members are pushing CPA exams to be harder and processes to be more onerous for future candidates so CPA can maintain its prestige. And the new program (at least in the first few years) need to appease these members. Your hope that CPA will become easier under the new program is a daydream. Just look at how CFA and the notoriously 20% pass rates during COVID and you'll understand.
Agreed. Even when CPA pep was implemented for the first time from transcript evaluation to the very first CFE offered in Sept 2015, it was messy. With the current program, there are still plenty of resources you can look into to prep for the exams and experience reporting. Don't forget about the opportunity costs associated with waiting for the new program such as earning and advancement potential. Life events can unexpectedly turn things into a different direction which can impact CPA progression goals too.
Cannot agree. Even current cpa members would have a hard time fulfilling pert requirements in many cases. Why punish oneself with unnecessary mountains of paperwork when you could be enjoying your weekend with people you care for? We are only young and healthy once. How would you rather spend that time?
@@abcdedfg8340 and you think new program won't be mountains of paperwork...on top of that, you have to do lots and lots of research on the new program which CPA staffs and Gevorg won't know a lot about. Let's be honest, people have the tendency to procrastinate. You are only young once yes, and precisely because of the energy you currently have that you should finish the program right now as opposed to giving yourself more excuses to procrastinate and can no longer study when you are old.
Got an email about the new CPA program module, and right after that, your video popped up! Perfect timing
Thank you for the update. I have one more chance to pass but the last time I can take it is September 2025. After the first time, I ordered the PAR report and they were too positive on the part I failed, it was demotivating and I don’t know if I have it in me to do it again. Being told you did a great job and failed is hard to take.
Seems like your current way is not working. Maybe better to wait to see how things change, or at least til they clarify further. You must have other things you enjoy doing. Enjoy your health and youth while you can.
@@abcdedfg8340 yes wait for another 10 years before you become CPA, might as well just not do CPA. Stop giving people troll advice.
Hello. What is the recommended English level for international student to have before they enrol in the CPA program?
It says on the website at least CBL 8, but I believe they do offer language support if needed.

Good evening, Gevorg. Do you have materials to help me prepare for the CPA Core 1 and Core 2 challenge exams?
Obviously CPA exam has been a pain in my ass, but that won't bother me any longer I have gotten my license already thanks to you Mr Dylan God bless you more cuz you made it possible for me
People keep talking about Dylan all over UA-cam,he must be a very awesome help
Yes you're correct but remember heaven helps those who help themselves, try studying if you can't study then get yourself a good help
I studied for months and couldn't pass, I guess passing is a blessing
CPA exam might seem so tough to pass but studying very hard is a very vital skill to win trust me.
Very nice explanation..but I have one doubt on this...because loyalty points is worth of $95 which customer may redeem this later.. But company made liability of only $87 What if customer came later and Purchase another shoe worth of $ 100 But customer already have loyalty point worth of $95 ..then they will pay only $5 But company provides only $ 87 ...so should customer pay $13??? I hope you understand my doubt ...kindly clarify this. What would be the Journal entry when customer purchase products by using loyalty points at that time??
I’m sorry pardon…I’m currently busting my butt studying for my tax elective…this sounds frustrating
I love the idea of paper clipping together the pages you don't need!
sounds like the exam has changed since this webinar was posted. Core 1 now has 75 MCQ and 1 PC according to the exam blueprint. How would you recommend changing study strategy as a result?
Can you make one on the procedures in the assurance elective - Thank you for all your hard work

Hi Gevorg, thanks for the video, good stuff. I had a question, How about pursuing USA CPA via a Master of Accounting Degree in the USA and then later gaining experience and then transferring to Canadian CPA. Also would you say American CPA is world recognized compared to the Canadian CPA only recognized in Canada? Also in terms of career growth does US CPA pay more compared to the Canadian CPA ? Looking forward to hearing from you?
You’d need to look into the agreement between CPA Canada and USA as I thought there were residency requirements and minimum experience needed before Transferring

Thank you for this interview.
What about person starting core 1 in 2024, most probably finish core 2 by the end of 2024? Is there is still possibility to transition to new program?
I don't understand the debrief part after mcqs
Thank you so much need to have more information ,am here in Ontario,how can I find you sir.
I think the best solution is probably to hold a referendum, but inevitably, all CPA Ontario/Quebec members will likely vote to split while the rest of Canada votes to stay. It will likely still pass if Ontario/Quebec members are offered reduced membership fees. The problem is, the admin process is going to be long and CPA Canada will find a way to let the referendum not pass, for example, by setting threshold at 75% or something. To avoid all the bs, Ontario/Quebec just left without consulting members. There hasn't been much objection in the Ontario/Quebec community it seems. However, rest of Canada seems to be worried as the most powerful provinces are leaving, and the prospect of higher fees as Gevorg says. The implication is that we are seeing some members (and this will only grow as time goes on) in Alberta and BC have started to push their provincial bodies to withdraw as well. This is a going concern issue for CPA Canada as the organization cannot sustain itself for sure. If the provincial bodies will not withdraw, the "portability of designation" that is currently promised will be the biggest loop hole, where students and members alike simply transfer to Ontario. I can envision a massive membership transfer (except those under public license) to Ontario. To keep CPA Canada, there needs to be some fundamental changes. Essentially, it is a power struggle where Ontario folks feel like they contributed the most, and did not get allocated enough resources...Ontario is subsidizing the rest of the provinces. A simple way is to nominate board seats according to membership by province. For instance, similar to our elections, Ontario should get 5 seats of the Board, Quebec gets 3, BC gets 2, AB gets 1, etc. And budget wise, Ontario should get the most given they contributed to the most. Obviously, CPA Canada won't let that happen given they want the power themselves. This struggle has probably been ongoing on since 2015. If CPA Canada won't yield, they will cease to exist. A new national body will be required...who has the largest membership base? Ontario. That's why this is a smart move on CPAO's end. I would say that CPAO raises really good points in its FAQ, some really sketchy things were noted on the CPAC side, notably the 2019 CFE and trademark registration. CPAC has a chance to respond to these allegations but their responses were quite unclear, further cementing the assertion that they are not transparent and support for the split.
👏🏻 congrats! This is the best video I’ve watched so far about core 1! Thank you for sharing with us.
