Default PEC date (Canada)

The PEC is scheduled for the end of May but you must have credit for the FSA exams first. Is there a good reason for this? The people who had the last exam in the May sitting will not have results until July and will miss the seminar and have to wait a full year.

I asked the CIA about next year's date and suggested the class be in July instead for later years.

Any updates on this?... It's kind of weird timing.

They said they'd bring up the suggestion for a later date at the next meeting, but that people take vacations in summer so it didn't seem that likely to change. Pretty lame excuse. They should offer it twice a year, or better yet, get rid of it, given the new information on the FSA exams.

Agreed... a lot of what is tested is overlap from the Life track DP.
