This is my own opinion and what I did .

1.Before you arrival,research about 20 companies you are interested to work with-including phone, e-mail, and physical company address
2.All accountants should write ACCA to get automatic membership as CGA on arrival.
3.Engineers should check APEGA web site and get the transcript and references ready which should be send from Nigeria directly to APEGA on arrival and ensure all landing papers are submitted on arrival to APEGA and wait for assessment.
4.For all Project and IT persons can write and pass the required certification from any where in the world.
5.All other professional should link with the Canadian profession and get ready to complete any certification on arrival
6.Once done with all the landing documentation,I will advise you contact either CCIS,YWCA or Bow valley college CRTP to start Employment and communication training. Some of this agency offer 12 weeks work placement with support income.
7.Contact ILVARC and write the Canada bench mark English Language test-All training requires you have above point 6 in speaking,reading,writing and listening.
8.Submit your Driving License to Nigeria High Commission in OTTAWA to get reference letter---some jobs here requires DL Class 5
9.Prepare your resume as per Canada format.
10.Practice how to answer tough interview questions.
11.Attend networking events in your field-------80% of Jobs success come this way
12.You do cold call-Calling companies to talk with HR Manager for information based on your prepared list.----80% of Jobs success come this way
13.Physically move from one company to another based on your list-----80% of Jobs success come this way
14.Go online and post resume on monster,indeed and others and search jobs and apply---10% of Jobs success come this way
15.Try and locate employment placement agencies in your profession and register with them----10% of Jobs success come this way
16Above all,pray and remain positive and believe it is a matter of time .

Make sure the billing address you type in is the same as address of your card. I experienced same thing, but my card was later accepted after I corrected the billing address.

I believe you only need the ECA for your degree (B.Sc), the other qualifications you have are professional in nature. Futhermore, your ACCA - CGA have already been equivalenced by both professional bodies.

Does it hurt to analyze all? Apart from school cert, that is. Just to err on the side of caution ;)

It doesnt hurt but why waste money when ACCA and CGA are professional and of international standards .... Only BSc needs evaluation cos it was done with the Nigerian local content

I concur.

ACCA is international and has a mutual recognition agreement with Certified General Accountants (CGA) of Canada, in which both ACCA and CGA give certain recognition to members of each association.

Mind you CGA is Canada, so why evaluate a certificate issued in Canada. It equivalent is the same. CGA = CGA, I want to believe.

holders of their
