Canadian Immigration and ACCA, CIMA, CFA or CMA

[Toronto_Boy]

Dear Savak

Congrats on completion of MBA.

To do CA in Canada, the most difficult part for an immigrant is to get a job in CICA approved firm for practical experience (your point# 3). Your point 2 i.e. completion of 17 courses is not difficult. You would get exemptions from CICA in some of those courses. You may complete rest of courses like Canadian Business Law and Taxation etc. in part time or evening if you get a job in CA approved firm. Now, you have 2 options. (1) After immigration, directly apply in CA firms. If you get a job, then complete remaining requirements/ courses with job. (2) If you don't get the job in CA firm, then you may go for masters degree and apply in CA firms after completion of masters. Exemptions in masters degree vary from university to university and program to program. They may waive pre-requisite courses, but may not provide exemptions in masters level courses. But you must have to select a program and apply and then see what happens. No one can tell you up-front.

I hope it helps.

Best Wishes
