[pshhe]

Thanks Thomastoronto...did you try contacting them for yourself?..do you have the same backgrnd as us (in this thread)?..

 

[panks]

yes panks that's my understanding..

setcanada, please try to contact your friends who have the same background if possible...i think thats the reason people go for CGA..

Hey Pshhe/Setcanada,

It means we would have to do Canadian CA in 3 years normal time?......How about the CGA...how much time it takes to complete?

Regards,

Dear All,
I am glad I found this thread and really hope if someone can answer my query. I am currently thinking of getting a CPA (USA). I understand that you need to be a CPA before you become a resident of Canada. Just wanted to know if (1) passing the examination requirement is enough before landing to be eligible for reciprocal membership of CA or you need to be a member and license holder from any of the approved board of accountancy (NASBA).

Secondly (2) when do you become a resident of Canada, is it the date when you get the visa or the date of landing and applying for PR.

I would really appreciate if someone can reply to my query.

“Eligibility for reciprocity is contingent upon having written all parts of the normal qualifying examination(s), or uniform CPA examination, prior to becoming a resident of, or returning as a resident to, Canada and at least three years after not being a resident of Canada. Alternatively, you must have written at least one part of the normal qualifying examination(s), or uniform CPA examination, while in a country other than Canada for at least 75% of the four years immediately preceding that examination”.
