Even if you follow route 1 you can claim ICAEW's membership. ICAP and ICAEW have agreement. You must not have been a member of either institute by a membership mutual agreement with another institute and must have been gone through the regular exam and training process of either institutes. That means if you are an ICAP member and want to be an ACA(ICAEW) then you must have followed the regular exam and training process to membership of ICAP.
Now the question arises what if you have been exempted from ICAP's inter stage. Well, in my opinion, even if you have been exempted from some papers, you would still be giving some more papers(Mod E and F) and would be doing articleship. So logically i believe it is a proper exam and training process. You should confirm it from ICAP though.
I will let you know about the cities where ICAEW's papers can be given
As an ACCA student/affiliate(and not a member of any institute), where lies the problem if you can't claim exemptions of ICAP on the basis of ICAEW? You can claim on the basis of ACCA. Same exemptions in ICAP will be given no matter which basis are chosen(either ACCA or ICAEW)
