Dear,
CFA is a different line from others u have mentioned.It is wrong that it is not widely recognized.It is recognized all around the world but it has different job prospects as compared to CA/ACCA/CIMA etc.
But as ur question relates to acceptability of accounting qualifications outside Bangladesh so
1)Australia.
For Australia CIMA is a better choice then ACCA and ACA (bangladesh) because it has an MRA with CPA australia so CPA status is readily available.In CA(AUSTRALIA) CIMA fetch 1 module exemption.
ACCA/CA bangladesh don't get any exemptions in CPA/CA australia.As local qualifications r preffered choice for employers so exemptions r important.
2)Canada.
For canada ACCA and CIMA r both suitable as both have MRAs with CGA CANADA and CMA canada respectively.
3)For Newzealand ACCA doesn't have an MRA.For CIMA I m not sure.But Newzealand is currently not a dream location to search for living.
U have written in ur post about ACA.I percieved it as ACA(BANGLADESH) but if u were referring to ICAEW then it is a better choice the CIMA/ACCA if u want to move to above places.
But CFA would be the best choice among ACCA/CIMA/CFA/CA bangladesh.
