Hello!
I'm applying as an accountant, though my education is completely unrelated (I have a WES evaluated MA in Linguistics).
My only one year's work experience as that of an accounant, so I'm applying as such. No credentials whatsoever. Only confirmation letters from my job and my pay stubs.

I think I heard some applicants wherein they were able to get their PRs with their work experience in their applied NOC but education was unrelated.

I believe you'll have a problem if you applied under PNP while applying as a public practitioner there

It's a "widely believed fact" that education and experience don't have to match as far as CIC is concerned :D We'll see how my case turns out.

You mean, this discrepancy could be a problem with provincial nominations? I never even considered those - lost cause.
I wonder if there were any NOC 1111 applicants from non- IFRS non-GAAP countries who succeeded in getting a PN.

As far as I know, it wouldn't matter even for PNP applicants with the same case as yours.

Off topic but I would like to share for future applicants:

For public practitioners, without an "accounting" education, they can't have a CPA title to most countries. So when applying for a PNP, for instance, SINP, they need to have their credentials assessed by an accounting body based in Saskatchewan. So the rule of accounting education and work experience applies here.

Unless, you have an accounting experience who has been employed by a private company, then it wouldn't matter if your an accounting or non-accounting graduate.

Oh, now I see. Thank you.

For NOC 1111 applicants, what's the status of your application?

I ended up applying under a different NOC.

Did you change your NOC in your PR app after you got an ITA for NOC 1111?

Nope, changed my EE profile altogether.
 
I have CMA designation from Pakistan but NOC 1111 & 1112 are regulated in Canada than how i can apply under these NOCs without authentication by CPA Canada.
 
hi, is experience gained for ACCA membership counted as relevant experience under NOC 1111 for express entry applicants? please reply!
 
Hello I applied under NOC 1111

I am waiting for my luck to strike for an ITA.

Anyway, I have:-

1. Bsc. (Hons.) in Applied Accounting
2. ACCA, UK

and I am a member CPA (British Columbia)

I gained CPA recently as an international student through MRA between ACCA and CPA.
Hey Sameer,
I am in the same boat-
1) B.com (H) in Commerce
2) ACCA Member
I wanted to know about the process to apply for CPA BC and did you prepare for exam in home country itself or went to Canada on srudy visa?
