The Canadian Payroll Association (CPA) has represented Canada's payroll community since 1978. The CPA is influential, affecting payroll practices in hundreds of thousands of small, medium and large employers, and payroll service and software providers. The CPAs certification program changed to the new Certified Payroll Manager Program (CPM) effective January 2006. The CPAs Payroll Management Certification Program (PMCP) will continue to be offered through to 2008, to allow students to pursue the path best for them in terms of their own learning goals and plan.

Please visit the CPA website at http://www.payroll.ca/ for more information about these exciting changes and transition provisions for students who are already working towards CPA designations.

Note: You must first register with and pay tuition fees to Centennial College, and then register with and pay a separate fee to the CPA for course materials and the final exam. To register with the CPA, visit the CPA website http://www.payroll.ca/ to obtain a copy of the PMCP Brochure and PMCP Registration form.
