CFA and waivers for licensing requirements

[Lepistiku]

The following is an excerpt from the CFA brochure.

The CFA charter is recognized around the world as a measure of competence, integrity, and passion; and employers are willing to pay a premium to investment professionals who have earned this designation. Many employers stipulate the CFA charter as a requirement for investment-related positions and/or for advancement to more senior positions. The CFA charter also is held in high regard by the regulatory community. Regulatory bodies in the following jurisdictions provide waivers from certain licensing or qualification requirements for those who have passed Levels I or II of the CFA exam, or have received the CFA designation: • Australia • Canada (Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Saskatchewan) • Greece • Hong Kong • Singapore • Turkey • United States

The brochure does not give any detail as to the nature or extent of the waivers. Does anyone know any details about these regulatory waivers, or know of a direct link to such information? I am particularly interested in the situation in the US and Canada (Ontario, Alberta, BC).

when the went to offering L1 twice a year, they made the claim that L1 was used as a licensing requirement in (unspecified) jurisdictions to justify their actions
