Windmill Microlending and the Quebec CPA Order have partnered to provide financial support to internationally-educated accountants
Windmill Microlending is a Canadian non-profit offering low-interest career loans to help newcomers pay for the education they need to succeed in Canada. Since 2005, Windmill has supported over 10,000 immigrants and refugees to overcome underemployment and succeed in their careers.
We partner with institutions to help their members cover costs of tuition, accreditation, relocation and living costs. Our affordable loans are designed to meet the unique needs of immigrant clients, who often cannot access mainline credit, by providing a fixed interest rate that is lower than other financing options.
In Quebec, the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) designation is well known in the business world because it guarantees that its holders are trained according to the highest standards, governed by clear regulations and fully satisfy internationally recognized standards of competency and integrity.
The Quebec CPA Order has partnered with Windmill Microlending to give skilled immigrants who wish to become CPAs the financial resources they need to achieve career success.
Our loans offer two years of interest-only payments and up to three years of
principal + interest payments depending on the length of your career plan.
