September 2021 CFE Results Distribution

The September 2021 Common Final Examination (CFE) results will be released to candidates, employers, and the public on December 3, 2021. Feedback forms will be available for candidates via the National Candidate Marks Portal.

Allowing Employers Results Access

Candidates can grant CPAWSB permission to share their registration and module/CFE examination information with their employer. To ensure privacy, the default for this feature is NOT to share this information. Update the setting in My CPA portal. Please note that only changes made before 5:00 p.m. PST Fri, November 19, 2021, will be captured.
Employers of candidates on the honour roll will be contacted between November 22 and 24, 2021, if consent has been provided by the candidate.
