The degree required by CGA doesn't have to be 4 years degree. All the undergraduate degrees in U.K are of 3 years. Bsc in applied accounting and MBA from OBU is recognised by CGA, Canada
It is not easy going into a new location. Accountancy jobs are similar, but not totally same, in many countries. You will have to get yourself familiarised with the canadian GAAP. As an ACCA, IFRS shouldn't cause a problem to you

Dear Dard (what kinda id is that BTW[p])
Thanks for the reply and clarification about 3 -4 years degree. No matter what the exact requirement is, the bottom line is that B.Sc OBU degree is acceptable for CGA eligibility as far as I can understand. Please correct me if I am wrong.
As you have correctly stated that accountancy jobs are similar but never the same, it is exactly one of the reasons that made me think about an audit firm instead of going for a permanent job. As per my understanding, even if I spend 1 - 2 years in an audit firm in Canada, (i.e. starting as a graduate who has no practical knowledge about accountancy and audit) it would be helpful not only to understand the business environment of new country but also to obtain a firm grip over the local GAAPs and other technical competences which may be expected from a CGA trained in an Audit firm. Do you endorse the idea?
Thanks
ASH.
