FP Canada

FP Canada is a national not-for-profit organization established in 1995, dedicated to championing better financial wellness for all Canadians. Its core mission involves leading the advancement of professional financial planning in Canada through education, certification, and professional oversight. The organization, formerly known as the Financial Planning Standards Council (FPSC) until its rebranding in 2019, is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.

FP Canada's key services include awarding the Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) certification and the Qualified Associate Financial Planner (QAFP®) certification, which are recognized credentials for financial planners. It operates through two main divisions: the FP Canada Institute, which provides an end-to-end learning path for certification, and the FP Canada Standards Council, responsible for establishing and enforcing financial planning standards, setting certification requirements, and developing exams. The organization also offers financial literacy tools for the public and maintains a directory for certified planners.

Tashia Batstone has served as the President & CEO of FP Canada since 2021. In recent news, FP Canada, in collaboration with the Institute of Financial Planning, jointly published the 2026 Projection Assumption Guidelines for Financial Planners in April 2026. The organization also announced February QAFP® Exam Results in March 2026 and released its 2026 Financial Stress Index, highlighting that more Canadians are taking action to reduce financial stress. FP Canada is guided by its "IMAGINE 2030" vision, aiming to make professional financial planning accessible to all Canadians, and reported a financially sound position with revenue exceeding expenses in its fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
