TORONTO, March 23, 2021 /CNW/ - FP Canada has announced the 2020 President's List which recognizes candidates who achieved the highest scores on the November 2020 CFP Exams, and named the first recipient of the inaugural QAFP™ Exam Award of Merit for the November 2020 sitting of the QAFP Exam. The newly instituted QAFP Exam Award of Merit is conferred on the candidate receiving the highest mark on each administration of the QAFP Exam.
The 2020 President's List recipients for top performance on the CFP Exams are:
- 1st Place – Rory Drennen – Ottawa, ON (RBC)
- 2nd Place – Jarrett Holmes – Winnipeg, MB (Ironshield Financial Planning Inc.)
- 3rd Place – Kristopher Kibler – Calgary, AB (Flight Plan Financial Corp.)
And the first recipient of the QAFP Exam Award of Merit is Nicole Robyn, from Hamilton, ON (RBC).
"Congratulations to the successful candidates on the 2020 exams. These candidates demonstrated exceptional dedication and focus to score top marks, despite the challenges posed by the pandemic," said Cary List, President and CEO of FP Canada.
To obtain CFP certification or QAFP certification, candidates must complete a series of educational requirements, pass a rigorous national exam and undertake requisite work experience. Once recognized as a CFP professional or a QAFP professional, candidates must adhere to the high professional standards established by the FP Canada Standards Council™, committing to always putting their clients' interests ahead of all others.
In response to the pandemic, FP Canada offered candidates the option of taking the exams through online proctoring in November. To provide candidates flexibility and choice, and to ensure their safety, FP Canada will continue to offer the CFP Exam and the QAFP Exam through online proctoring throughout 2021.
The next two certification exams will be held in May and October, 2021. Candidates who wish to write the exam in May can register by logging in to their FP Canada portal.
