Current CSI coverage

  • CSI is one of the deepest Canada lanes on this site, with many exam pages already live in Securities Prep
  • the CSI planning lane now spans PFSA, FP I, FP II, AFP Exam 1, AFP Exam 2, WME, and WME-FP rather than stopping at the earlier licensing layers
  • AFP Exam 2 is intentionally built as vignette practice: the public preview keeps case structure intact with 24 question-level prompts selected from 6 practice cases
  • The best quick filter is still CSI Web Practice Options when you need to know which web practice pages are active right now and which pages already have a sample preview
  • If you are comparing CSI against other Canada licensing paths, use Canada roadmap , LLQP , FP Canada , and CIRO
