  • Accreditation of programs in Canada will be handled solely by the CPA as of that date.
  • No new applications from programs in Canada will be accepted by the APA after January 1, 2008.
  • This new agreement follows several years of discussion and surveys, a 6-month period of public comment in 2004-2005, and approval by the APA Council of Representatives in 2007.
