Three candidates who wrote the Certified Financial Planner exam in May have been named as the top scorers and awarded a place on the FP Canada President’s List.

The exam round saw a strong overall performance with an 80% pass rate among first timers, so to be in the top three scorers among the 406 candidates is certainly impressive.

The exam takes 6 hours and contains a mixture of multiple choice and case-based constructed response questions created by practicing professional financial planners.

The top scorers in May 2023 were:

1st place—Michail Tsirikos—Ajax, Ontario (Educators Financial Group)

2nd place (tie)—Chantalle Bernier—Edmonton, AB (ATB Securities Inc)

2nd place (tie)—Adam Prittie—Ottawa, ON (Capital Wealth Partners)

"Congratulations to Michail, Chantalle, and Adam for their exceptional performances on the May CFP exam," says Tashia Batstone, FP Canada's president and CEO. "We at FP Canada commend you for your impressive achievement, and we wish you the best as you advance in your financial planning careers."

CFP certification requires rigorous study, passing a national exam, having a postsecondary degree, and demonstrating three years of qualifying work experience.
