<br />Hi,
I am sorry that I could not respond to questions on this forum and I thank Toronto Boy for taking care of. Although Toronto Boy who is more informed than me, has replied to the questions properly but I would add my view.
@ Zaikhan Please note that most CMAs and CAs from Pakistan go for CPA because they can do it faster than CGA and it is cost effective. After CPA they have to write three challenge exams of CGA and get a Canadian designation. This way, they get two accounting designation, which adds value to them. The bad part is this it is difficult for new Pakistani immigrants to get US visa in the first year particularly in the current situation.
@ alexisnar6 If you are an ACCA you will get membership of CGA because they have an MRA. You donât need to be student of CGA. You can start your practice in Canada but the question that how successful you will be is unpredictable. First it depends upon your luck and then how social contacts you have. Be careful that people in Canada are very conservative and they even donât share the information what is very causal in Pakistan. In this situation practicing as CGA requires a bit more struggle.
@Bob02 As far as my experience and observation is concerned M. Com gets more point than even CMAs. It is discretion of the immigration office but generally M.Com gets 22 points for education.
M. Com will have the same job opportunities as any CA/CMA from Pakistan. You have to start from scratch. If you work hard and get some Canadian designation you will flourish faster.
No matter you are a regular or private candidate, you will get your full education points, as long as you did it from an accredited university/institution. Donât worry.
Regards,
