Hi Friend, any update on this MRA?
I see that ACCA is still transferable in CPA website?

One important aspect to note since all ACCA does not hold university degree

I do not have a university degree and I qualified as an ACCA member after July 31, 1998. What do I need to do to become a CPA, CGA?
ACCA members who gained membership to ACCA after July 31, 1998 are required to hold a university degree recognized by the CPA profession.

you will issue a certified cheque for the value of CAD 495 and send it by mail to them afterwhich they will give you access to the online course. you will study and do 7 quiz each 10 questions. You will have to score 7/10 to be deemed to have passed a particular quiz. 4 of the quiz is on tax while 3 is on Law. after passing the 7 different quizzes, you will be issued with certificate of completion which you will forward to them as part of the requirement for the conversion. If you are in Canada, you can pay online but if not, you will be required to use a certified cheque. You have to be fast about it because the process is a long one.

i hope this helps

Hi.

Can you please help me on below queries?

Can we reattempt the quiz if we are unable to pass 7 out of 10 in one go?

As per CPABC email i recieved last month, the course can be purchased online from CPA store and the only payment method showing on site is credit card with this message "For international orders, credit card payment must be selected.". So i guess i can go ahead with the purchase as they might have changed procedure now?

How long does it take to process membership application from providing them completion certificate and all other documents till grant of membership status?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,
I am an ACCA member and gained exemption for F1, F2, F6 and F8 for my prior learnings. I have also done Masters in Economics (2 years external/private) and Bachelors of Commerce (2 years).

How can I apply for MRA of CGA and ACCA?

I am also applying Open work permit in this month as my wife is student in Alberta. What would be the suitable time to apply for this? As I have to apply for BC, if i apply from here.

Guys please tell me. Is it true? Now a days ACCA is providing a letter of equivalence which clearly states that ACCA fully qualified is equivalent to Masters Degree in UK . Can we claim 25 points on the basis of ACCA. Do anyone has claimed 25 points against ACCA Qualification merely on the basis of Equivalency Certificate

That equivalence is not acceptable by CIC.
you have to get the equivalency from WES or other credential Assessment body.

As per Website, the MRA hasn't been renewed yet but they are still entertaining the applications until they negotiate a new one.

"It is important to note that this MRA was scheduled to expire in July 2016, however, the deadline was extended indefinitely. All individuals who submit a complete application before the expiry will be considered for admission under the MRA. Unfortunately, we do not know when it will expire so we encourage you to apply as soon as you are eligible to do so."
