Hi Friends,

A very happy new year 2011 to all!

Can someone suggest as to which professional degree between Indian CA or USA CPA has more relevance/value in Canada.

The second question I have is about aveneues/resources/consultants/companies where either of the above two can easily find a job in Canada..specially Toronto.

Regards,
Panks

Only Canadian CPA. Few years back USA CPA was all right to get job till they found out that there were few takers for Canadian CPA. So No US no Indian CPA.

Neither.
As Explorer rightly said - none of them would add any value to your portfolio (though the US CPA or CMA is a shade better). Here, a Canadian CGA instead would/could take u places...

I would say you should try to look for any exemtions availble to obtain CGA. For ACCA members CGA have some reciprocal membership arrangements.
 
hello there!! iam a newly passed cpa and currently employed in a private co.(medium size company)i am reading your forums since i passed the board exam because i really do not have any idea on what path to take but what is clear with me is that i want to work abroad.

as of now kasi i am planning to file a resignation letter and i'll try to transfer in an auditing firm because that is the trend..di ba po? is it really true? do i really had to acquire experience in an auditing firm?
 
Do CIA ( certified internal Auditor) are having value in Canada ???? This is a single course in the globe from the IIA, Florida..( The Institute of Internal Auditors)


Honeyjack :)
 
hi,
how about having acca part-qualified status from UK, will it allow me to get exemptions with canadian cga assessment or reciprocity at some point?
i am still waiting for the results of my last three papers.

thanks ;D ;D ;D

hi honeyber,
if u are applying under fsw, having enough experience would help u a lot to claim maximum points, it doesn't matter whether in an audit firm or in a private co.
as you would know, the noc 1111,would have been the nearest for auditors and accountants but unfortunately it was removed from the list since 26june 2010..however, there may still be a chance to find an employer so can apply with an arranged employment under fsw. ;D

Hi All,

Thanks for your valuable inputs....

Qorax - Is it possible to get job on the basis US CPA?

Regards,
 
Hi Panks,

Based on the stories i heard, one can get a job based on the foreign qual. but to climb up the ladder one needs to have Canadian qual.
