SOWP Extension

[Komal112]

Hi all,

I'm currently on Study permit and my husband is on work permit. We both have visa till Jul 2025. As per the new rule to extend my spouse visa i should have teer 0 and 1 Job. My Employer is agree to sign off the employment letter for NOC 11100 - Financial auditors and accountants. However, under this code they are concerned about employment requirement that is, i should have a designation like CA or CPA along with several months of On-the-job training.

Employment requirements

• Chartered professional accountants, chartered accountants (CPA, CA) require a university degree and completion of a professional training program approved by a provincial Institute of Chartered Accountants and, depending on the province, either two years or 30 months of on-the-job training and membership in a provincial Institute of Chartered Accountants upon successful completion of the Uniform Evaluation (UFE).
• Chartered professional accountants, certified general accountants (CPA, CGA) and chartered professional accountants, certified management accountants (CPA, CMA) require a university degree and completion of an approved training program and several years of on-the-job training and certification with a regulatory body is required in all provinces and territories.

Can someone please suggest me if this a mandatory requirement for an employer to hire someone with this job only if they are CPA? Can i apply my SOWP extension with this NOC code without CPA and this requirement.

As long as you do the duties of an auditor or accountatn, you may be okay. If IRCC asks then you would have to show designation. You will not know until SOWP is approved.

What education and designations do you have?

I did masters in finance from India and hold 7-8 years of experience in General Ledger Accountant and in Canada i did PG diploma in bookkeeping (advance accounting). My company hired me for General accountant role and I pretty much do the same job duties what is mentioned on NOC code but I'm not CA or CPA.
