Editing Chartered accountant (section)

{{update|section|date=January 2021}}
In Canada, chartered accountants belong to the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants (CICA) by way of membership in at least one provincial or territorial institute (or "order" in [[Quebec]]). In order to become a member, a candidate requires an undergraduate degree plus experience and, depending on the province, additional education. Candidates in all provinces are required to pass the three-day [[Uniform Evaluation]] (UFE) now Common Final Examination (CFE).<ref>{{Cite web |title = The UFE |url = http://www.cica.ca/becoming-a-ca/the-ufe/ |accessdate = 18 March 2014 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20140325235605/http://www.cica.ca/becoming-a-ca/the-ufe/ |archive-date = 25 March 2014 |url-status = dead }}</ref>

Since 2012, the CICA has been in a process of unification with the other two accounting bodies in Canada. Canadian CA's, along with [[Certified General Accountant]]s (CGAs) and [[Certified Management Accountant]]s (CMAs), have now adopted the designation [[Chartered Professional Accountant]] (CPA), making the term "chartered accountant" obsolete.<ref name="mcfarland">{{cite news |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/canadian-accountants-merge-under-cpa-designation/article19299464/ |title=Canadian accountants merge under CPA designation |first=Janet |last=McFarland |newspaper=The Globe & Mail |date=23 June 2014 |accessdate=31 October 2022 |archive-date=9 May 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220509162659/https://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/canadian-accountants-merge-under-cpa-designation/article19299464/ |url-status=live }}</ref>
