I am applying for ACCA "Associate Certified Chartered Accountant" certification as it is global certification issued from UK. Furthermore, ACCA and CGA "Certified General Accountant Certification of Canada" have a mutual recognition agreement as well and I can't find any information regarding this if I do CGA after my ACCA what benefit I got. Plus if I do CGA i can do MBA in 1year fast track program or I can do CPA or CFA.

I'm just confused how I explain VO about this . . how to link this scenario in my SOP ?

My past education

Matric in Computer Sciences 04
Inter in Commerce 06
Bachelors of Commerce 08
ACCA currently doing clear 8papers and waiting for result as well

Raheel let me see If I can help you with this.

In your case either you should brief about CGA depends if you mentioned the same in your first SOP. Secondly if you show them that you will going through your CGA after ACCA then you should apply with the dual intent concept as CGA is a canadian qualification.

If you tell them that you will do your CGA and then come back pakistan so it does not sound logical that you are doing a canadian qualification.

Please share some details of your first SOP so I can suggest you in a better way.

I am not an expert but can try my best to give you the best available information.

My consultant advice me that you don't need SOP as LSBF and ACCA are sending cover letter for your education so I didn't send any SOP in my first case . . . . .

Then I belive you should only focus on ACCA plus MBA and then returning back after the ompletion of your course.

Because if you show that will be doing CGA then it will create a doubt in visa officer's mind that you will not return and there is no reason returning back and doing a canadian qualification.

However if you are still willing to show that you will continue CGA then you should apply with the "Dual Intent Concept"

Raheel,

I would suggest you is not to apply through dual concept unless you have proper justification. However just google " Dual Intent concept" & you will find the complete details
