thee are some issues of WES attestation from Pakistan for CMA and then CPA is not accepting CMA Pakistan therfore i totally dropped the idea of CPA.
i have not yet upgraded my education because of equivalency problems. hope to do so in future..

Ok.. thats not good mate..

I have done my degree evaluation & WES has approved but the winds arent coming that well from Canada for accounting jobs. CPA does approve my degreee here in Austalia & it should do in Canada too since its the same regulatory body. So are you into your accouting job?

This might help you
