About the CGA affiliate associations
In Canada, many aspects of the accounting profession are governed by provincial or territorial legislation, so it is essential that there are CGA associations in every province and territory.
CGA students register and work closely with an affiliate association to earn the CGA designation, and members continue this important, professional relationship throughout their careers.
Each CGA association has its own website, where you can find detailed information and key contacts.
