<br />Hi Toronto Boy,
Glad to see this forum you started as I am in search of a strategic career plan along with my intention to migrate in Canada. Here's my plan for the moment, (subject to your suggestion) [D]
1) IMA-USA - Plan to finish it here in my country (Philippines) prior to migrating, understood that it is not widely recognized in Canada but I guess it's better having a certification than nothing.
2) ACCA - Apply as a CAT (full exemption policy for IMA-CMA) after finishing IMA-USA certification. Then finish full ACCA papers in Canada. I have tried to contact ACCA if CAT papers will be affected due to reformat in IMA's exam, after long exchange of emails ACCA advised that all exemptions are available in their website, never bothered to follow-up after that. (In my opinion, I guess CAT papers will still have full exemption, though several ACCA exams might be affected).
* How would an IMA and ACCA (CAT level)combo fare well in the canadian job market?
3) I have come accross this canadian accounting technician professional association, http//www.instituteofat.org/ , May I know if their diploma in professional accounting will give an immigrant an advantage in getting accounting jobs?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Shredder
