Dear Asad,
Good to see you on this forum, we have been interacting for a while on immigration forum, I hope you remember )
I have searched on the website of Society of Management Accountants of Canada and I am sorry to say that they have no exemptions for CMA's from (IMA) where as they are giving direct admission in Strategic Leadership Program to CMA's from Pakistan (i.e. ACMA's).
I have also talked to half a dozen members of our institute working in Canada on good jobs and they have told me that I should not waste my time on CMA (IMA). Now I am not trying to get in to a controversy by judging that CMA(IMA) is good qualification or not but surely it has not much value in Canada, even CIMA (UK) which is considered as mother of all qualifications in management accounting give maximum number of exemptions to ACMA,s (i.e 13 papers) but have no exemptions for CMA's from IMA
May be some one else can give his input on the subject.
By the way you should see a post by Maqsood Zaman on this forum regarding tips for new comers to Canada and also a detailed information by Toronto Boy on the subject.
