One of my Friends is currently working as a Assistant Accountant. does he also Qualifies for NOC 1111,
or he has to be at the Accountant's Designation for to be a eligibal candidate.

You got points for your education, but to qualify in a particular category you must have worked for one year in that profession. And as you have worked as an Accountant, you qualified in NOC 1111

 

[mind]

You will qualify if you have managerial level experience in this cat. NOC 1111. This is what I think.

Wait others to reply.


Thanks,
A

Dear Somey11,

Your wife qualification does not match with her work experience. In my opinion it will be a problem for her.

You can easily apply for NOC 1111 Financial Auditors and Accountants.

If your main duties match with 1111, then you qualify, but as far as I know persons working in Pakistani firms as accountant do not qualify under 1111.
The reason is those accountant actually perform the duties of bookkeeper.
So before filing application carefully review if your duties actually match with NOC 1111, designation, accountant or assistant accountant does not matter

Financial Accountants e.g Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Fixed Assets and General Ledger is coming under NOC 1111 or they are bookkeeper.

Please confirm.

For Accountants and Auditors (NOC 1111), you will need to have a Chartered Accountancy(CA) or similar (CPA, CMA, CGA) designation or a Master's Level qualification in Finance(Eg. MBA Finance, Master's in Finance etc) to qualify.

You don't need to be a CPA or CA to qualify on NOC 1111, as long as you are doing the main responsibilities of an Auditor or Accountant then you will qualify. For accountant you need to have experienced on finalizing financial statements, taxes, bank recon, GL/TB and year end closing not just AR and AP because that is the job of bookkeeper. I am not a CPA or CA but I am an accountant they accepted my application. Right now my status is in process. Good luck to you.

Alpha Romeo - Eventually, they will ask you for your CA/CPA/CMA/CGA or Master's Degree in Finance or Accounting certificates and transcripts. CIO Nova Scotia just looks after the main job duties and forwards them to the visa office for further indepth processing.

I came to Canada as an Accountant under the old Easier rules - and then also they asked me for either CA/CMA/CPA/CGA or a related Master's Degree.

Follow this link for HRSDC Canada for NOC 1111 and look at the Employment Requirements at the bottom :::

http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2006/QuickSearch.aspx?val65=1111

Sometimes, one or two people might get lucky due to the positive discretion of the visa officer - but 9 out of 10 times - you will need a chartered level designation or Master's Degree to make the cut for NOC 1111.

Cansun,

I'm sorry but you have a different info. I am under fast track and they did not ask for the certificate of being a CA or CPA. I am already on the second stage of my application and right now, my status is in-process which means that I am eligible for further processing. I am just waiting for my medical request. I am a commerce graduate major in accounting and mostly my experience are in accounting field and for the last 4 years I am a full cycled accountant doing all the major responsibilities of an accountant.

The new rules is totally different from the old one. I have an attorney and they never require this because according to them as long as you could provide employment letter that shows all your responsibilities and it match with the NOC, that would be enough for anyone to qualify. Fast track is more on the experience but of course education is a factor, like your education is in medical field and your experience is in accounting. That is very questionable.
