FPSC was formed on the initiative
of organizations whose members deal with the personal finances
of individuals.
These organizations believe
the public needs a uniform way to identify professional financial
planners throughout Canada and in all segments of the financial
services industry. They believe the best way to accomplish
this is for the financial planning profession to coalesce
around the single credential: Certified financial Planner®
(CFP®). And they believe it's important Canada participate
in the international movement toward the establishment of
a globally recognized financial planning profession.
