Well it is not my interest to go in this kind of debate, but to keep facts clear, most of the firms based on Pakistani CA are most likely being run from homes. These are one person firms involved in preparing personal tax returns for $20 per return, book keeping services for small business like gas station or convenience stores etc., filling-up business registration forms, to avoid personal taxes by showing business losses, even providing immigration consultancy services in some of the cases, and last but not least to avoid low paying non-professional jobs. In any case, they can't represent themselves as CA (of ICAP) to general public, simply as CA of ICAP is unrecognized here, unless they have any of recognized Canadian designations. Ads of such firms can easily be seen in any of free local Urdu newspapers. Comparing one person home based small business firms with ACCA firms may not be a sound argument.
