Dear
1. If you are talking about salary expectation in Canada, its difficult to say anything cuz it depends on your brother's luck and many other factors. All I can say is, he is qualified enough to get good jobs relatively in less time as compared to others. One thing I wanna tell you up-front, due to your this question about salary expectations, Canada has abundance of very very highly qualified people, so do not think that your brother's qualification is something unique here. There are more than 15,000 Canadian qualified CAs (of CICA) only in Ontario (in about 10 Million population) and about 50,000 in all Canada, let alone other designated professionals. Similarly, each year Canada mints about 1000 CFAs, majority of whom are already designated and Canadian raised/educated applicants. Moreover, if your brother wanna start a new life here, salary expectations before landing should be quite a minor thing (at-least in my view), however, he may have good expectations about his future after achieving necessary ingredients for success here. Please feel no offence, but this should not be a point of consideration at this time for a fully motivated potential immigrant to first world.
2. I don't know precise answer to this question. Ask CICA directly. However, I think CICA might not have problem in reciprocity, if your brother got ICAEW CA after writing final exams after claiming ACCA's exemptions, i.e. if he has written final 2 papers and case study, then CICA might not have problem for reciprocity. However, if he has got ICAEW's CA on basis arrangement for 5 years members of ACCA (without passing any final exam/case study of ICAEW), then most likely CICA would not allow reciprocity. Again, ask CICA directly, and also about experience requirement.
3. MRS or other new potential immigrants can help you about English and French points. I think IELTS is required these days for English.
I hope it helps
Best Regards
MRS; I hope you would not mind telling him requirements about English/French tests. Thanks in advance.
