2. What are the subjects of CGA.
3. Which are the best universities who offers CGA.
4. What is duration to complete CGA if a person is full time employee in a company.
I have done B.com (two years). Is it possible to register for CGA.

Hi There
Please see following links, however, these are for Ontario. You may search similar info on websites of other provinces of your interest.
1. http//www.cga-ontario.org/Prospective_Students/Becoming_a_CGA/Fees_Dates_and_Forms.aspx
Also, http//www.cga-ontario.org/Prospective_Students/Becoming_a_CGA/Course_Fee_Schedule.aspx

3. Best or less best university or college does not matter as long as one takes a course from approved university/college and eventually gets transfer credit for CGA course.
4. Varies person to person. Usually it takes long, specially if you are BCom (of 2 years). CGA permits only one course per module. I would suggest you to get any relevant masters degree from Pakistan, as CGA would also ask you to do more courses equivalent to Canadian undergraduate degree. So, rather than doing degree here, it is better to do relevant masters degree in Pakistan while you are waiting there for your case.
Yes, it is possible to register with CGA, however, it would be quite a long way as you have 2 years degree.
I hope it helps.
