Finding My FP Canada ID

What does FP Canada provide for Exam Prep?

Available for purchase when you register for the exam, the FP Canada practice exam is another good study tool. We recommend using this practice exam a week or two before the actual exam. This mock exam can only be written once and you will be timed. It is a good way to test your timing as well as get a good feel for the format of their exam. 

What kind of support can BCC offer while working on the FP Canada courses?

BCC does not have access to these courses with FP Canada. We can provide you with as much assistance as possible, however, it is best to reach out directly to FP Canada at info@fpcanada.ca for questions regarding their two courses.  

How do I receive my CFP or QAFP transcript for FP canada?

The transcript will be emailed to you by our BCC Help Team. You can expect this email within 5 business days of completing your CFP or QAFP.  In this email, they will be asking for your permission to send it to FP Canada on your behalf.

When Can I Take The Introduction to Professional Ethics (IPE)?

You can take the Introduction to Professional Ethics (IPE) course before you are finished with the BCC courses. You will need to complete the IPE course before you move on to any next step with FP Canada so it is a good idea to get it done before you are done with Unit 6. In order to start the Professional Education Program, you will need to have the course work finished with BCC and have a transcript for FP Canada showing that you are ready for this next step.
