Dear All Landed Financial Auditors (NOC 1111),

Plz share ur experiences for starting/entry level jobs in NOC 1111 (Financial Auditors) with respect to newly landed immigrant.

- How is job market situation throughout canada for a newly landed immigrant with such NOC?
- How easy it is to get internship as Financial Auditor in any audit firm with "CGA" designation achieved through "mutual recognition"?
- What is minimum per wage rate in this category for entry level jobs? I know one on website but that does not reflect actual market position.
- Which areas have demand for this NOC even for entry level audit/accounting jobs?
- Plz share any useful resources/websites/training opportunities available to search/join entry level jobs in this particular NOC.

I know it is very hard/ impossible to get senior level job with no prior canadian experience. That's why my emphasis is on entry level internships jobs to kick start.
 
Seems no one from this NOC get back to this forum after landing. So can I assume they get good jobs and not ve enough time to visit this forum LOL :D :D :D
 
Pulling up in anticipation that there might be some "Angel" landing someday to answer :D :D
 
I feel you my brother but who knows someday someone would answer!!!!!!
 
Let us keep our fingers crossed and hope that landed seniors in this catecgory will one day start sharing thier experiences with us.

perhaps they are busy working......... so good enough.....
 
I think CGA is a well-recognized qualification. Some common friends I know are doing good based on their accountancy qualification and prior Big4 experience.

Further, there is a unification proposal which is well underway between CA, CMA and CGA (for Quebec it has already been approved by the members) so if you are a CGA then most probably you will be eligible for the new CPA Canada designation.

Let’s see if someone can share its real life experience.

Is CGA more recognised than the CA designation?
 
CA designation is probably on top of the profession, however CGA is well recognised as well and maintains a strong base in all provinces of Canada. With good communication skills, CGA designation and big4 experience in the pocket, I don't think so we will face any problems as our professsion is not regulated like doctors etc.

Thanks for your response but from your own view which of the designation do you think one should pursue?

Well i can't say anything on this becz I am not in the market yet. But it again depends on one's personal circumstances and priorities or I would say available opportunities.
 
Thanks eemmoo1 for the link. Probably the use of word “Regulated” was not the correct one. What I meant to say is that upgrading our qualification(s) to Canadian requirement to better assimilate in the market is much easier for NOC 1111 as compared to some other professions. I think (or rather hope) that the Canadian market will find it easier to embrace us in our respective profession. :)

For the proposed merger of the designations (CA, CGA & CMA) progress can be monitored here.
