Program overview
The Graduate Certificate - Professional Accounting (Co-op) (PAC2) is a 1 year program at Fanshawe College’s London campus.
Professional Accounting points degree-holders at the CPA pathway: advanced financial and managerial accounting, audit, tax and analysis with co-op inside accounting environments. For graduates of non-accounting degrees, it is the structured conversion route into Canada's most designation-driven profession.
The college around this program has run since 1967 and now teaches students from some 140 countries, with a live PGWP-aligned program list and a February 1 equal-consideration date that rewards early applicants.
Treat the field code — CIP 52.0301 (Professional accounting) — as part of the admission decision: confirm it on the PGWP-aligned page and with IRCC before enrolment, not after.
