As the accountants category has been excluded from the Occupation List, so what is the position of Job Openings / Employment for the following professionals in Canada
- Financial Accountants
- Cost Accountant
- Internal Auditors
- Investment Analyst

Furthermore, as Chartered Accountant of Pakistan has a weightage and demand in Pakistan Job Market. Does Chartered Accountant of Canada carry the same weightage in Canadian Job Market?

Yes if you are a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA) from Canada then you will be in demand .

However if your Pakistani credentials do not get you a Canadian CPA directly and you do not want to go through the whole process of getting a CPA from scratch, then you may have challenges finding a job here, even if you do one of those certification courses that guarantee a job in Canada (it is all a scam).

Read through this link to see if you qualify for CPA: http://www.becomeacaincanada.ca/

Do you already have an application in process? As there is no category open you can apply for now: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/complete-applications.asp

I am obese and I'm in Canada since September 2013. Good luck.
 
Has anyone been denied PR because of being underweight or having a BMI of less than 15.
No, obesity by itself is not cause for rejection. The causes for medical rejection are

1. You have a disease/condition that will cost more than $20,000 a year to treat
2. You have a highly contagious disease and are a danger to public health
3. You have a condition that makes you a danger to public safety.
