Are you ready for the new CIRO exams?

The Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO) has changed its assessment model for securities registration. This means there is no mandatory course work before you take an exam.

However – as a potential investment associate or advisor – you do need to demonstrate that you have the right knowledge plus the skills to apply that knowledge with clients.

The FP Canada Institute wants you to go beyond just a passing grade: we want you to thrive in your career. That's why we’re offering new education and study tools to help candidates excel on the Canadian Investment Regulatory Exam (CIRE) and Retail Securities Exam (RSE)

We are:
  • A division of FP Canada™, a not-for-profit that works in the public interest.
  • A leader and trusted industry partner in financial services education.
