[panks]

Hi Setcanada,

I checked from NASBA for transfer of scores, I got to know that I need to send a form for transfer....I forgot to ask if I need to send through post only or there is some fax number?

Can you plz guide on this?

Also there is a just a fee of $25 only, right?

And the last one....did you send any document with the form as well?

Thanks & Regards,
Pankaj

@maverick_stallion
US CPA qualification helps you a lot to become canadian CA or getting jobs if you wanna become CPA look these SITE http://www.becker.com/accounting/cpaexamreview/colorado/index.cfm once you become CPa you will get exception and you need to write CARE exam which held normally in sept...

Hi Setcanada,

No, I haven't initiated CPA score transfer process....actually, i was waiting for your scores to get transferred...so that i can follow the same route.....

Please let me know whenever you have your scores transferred...

Thanks & Regards,

@ setcanada,

what is the end to end cost of doing the cpa course in canada do i need to attend some college full time or just need to clear the papers... pl guide.

Hi SetCanada,

Have you initiated the CPA score transfer process....

The other question I have is.....Isn't it necessary that CARE exams (to be a Canadian CA) can only be taken if the candidate is a 'Non resident' of Canada?

I mean, would we still be eligible that if we move to Canada and take CARE exam from there?

Thanks & Regards,

Hey Panksnice to see your post after long time
Buddy i have a word with michigan board they said we can easily transfer score but for 150 hr things we have to evaulate our degree..
i talk to other board too and with BCOM+CA+CPA..They are giving me 120 hrs and they said only post CPA will be consider still im short of 30 hrs
Now i have decided to send credential to canada and let them decide how we can fulfill 150 hrs criterial...but my sugeestion if ur M.COM then send to michigan board for evaluation you will get 150 hrs,
Abour CARE exams i dunt think so we can give with out PR of canada...this year we cant give only option is next year...
Did you finish off with medical??

 

[panks]

Hi SetCanada....

No i have not yet finished my medicals...as we are expecting our first baby in Sep this year...i m gng to write to CHC requesting for postponment of medicals shortly...so that we all can take it together....by the way, you are working in which Indian Co (if you don't mind)...

One more thing...I have also done CS, IFRS, CWA Inter (appeared this June for final exams)...would this help me in covering up for 150 hours requirement?

Regards,

Hey Panks Congrats for everything..

See you can check this website www.facsusa.com..it is a evaluation of foreign credentials..send email to them and give your detail qualification and let them decide how much hours of education they evaulate the above link is given to me from michigan board but as i told u that with My B.COM+CA+CPA they are giving me 120 hours but with ur additional CS ,icwa inter hopefully they will award you 150 hrs but you have to send your docs to them...as im not satisfying 150 hr requirement i have decided to send it to canada let them decide what to for 30 hr shortage but this thing still in pipeline as im waiting confirmation from their end..
