Assalam o alikum,
I want to settle in Canada. Right now I'm Pakistani national and doing ACCA. if i clear my remaining exams of ACCA in Canada. Do i get work permit? And then PR?
Which ACCA institutes are DLI approved?
my uncle and grandparents are citizen there. Will this help me to get PR if I'm there on study visa?
I started ACCA after matric, Am I eligible for OBU degree?

No - you won't get a work permit if you clear you remaining exams in Canada.

You would need to complete a full time program in Canada that is at least eight months long to qualify for a work permit. If you want to have the highest chance of qualifying for PR, you should take a full time two year program so that you qualify for a three year work permit after you complete your studies.

No - having an uncle and grandparents who are citizens will not help you to get PR. You will have to qualify on your own based on your education, work experience, language skills, etc.

A professional module won't lead to a work permit since you're not attending school full time - all you have to do is submit 6 papers. You need to complete a full time program that's at least 8 months in length.

Canada doesn't have A levels. If you attend high school - no work permit. You have to complete a college or university program.

Why not come to Canada and do an Accounting course for at least 2-3 years. Along with you ACCA qualifications it would be very useful and then you can get a PGWP and hopefully get a position in a accounting firm. As well, if you are studying full time, you could work part time at an accountants for experience (max 20 hours). I worked with ACCA in Scotland and that's what a lot of people done in other countries..

I would suggest looking at public colleges or universities for courses you are interested in. Doing ACCA accreditation will not get you a work permit.

No you aren’t going to get pgwp after completing acca from tsom! even though tsom is dli listed but they can’t provide that facility!https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/study-canada/study-permit/prepare/designated-learning-institutions-list.html

ACCA and CPA Canada had an MRA signed earlier which expired this year. i dont know if it is renewed now or going to be renewed in future. it required that :
If u have done ur ACCA and if u had a 4 year bachelors degree accredition ( OBU Bsc was recognized which ACCA students get after completing some papers and on submission of thesis) then you have to complete the online Law and Tax exam and show some years of experience after which they ll grant you CPA BC
just search online for MRA between ACCA and CPA for more information

Hi im expected to graduate from ACCA in Dec 2021 and want to apply for an 8 month course in Canada. But the university replied back to me saying they don't accept ACCA to apply for a post graduate course because you need to graduate from a college or university. In this case will a WES evaluation help me? if so how much is an ACCA equivalent to in WES?

Thanks
