Mr. Toronto boy I have a question from you. I am a professional level student of ACCA. I started ACCA after doing A levels which means that I am not a graduate. However, I scored straight A's in A levels. I didn't know much about Accountancy bodies when I started ACCA but the only thing that was in my mind was to go abroad.
I am well aware of the fact that ACCA has an MRA with CGA. My question is that if I become an ACCA member in Pakistan and then apply for CGA through MRA with ACCA, what will be my future prospects in Canada? Will I be able to get a Cannadian work permit easily and find a well paid job?
Some of my friends who are also doing ACCA are also planning to claim exemptions from ICAEW, as big 4 and some other firms in Pakistan are now also registered ICAEW firms and a local college is also providing tuition for advanced stage of ICAEW. Please tell me that will it be a good idea to claim exemptions from ICAEW professional stage after completing ACCA exams and then completing ACCA and ICAEW articleship simultaneously from a registered ICAEW firm in Pakistan.
To sum up my question is that if I want to migrate to Canada, which one is a better option. To gain CGA through MRA or to go for ICAEW as it is the best accountancy body around the world. I would be very pleased to get a reply from you soon.
