Students who qualify ANY ONE of the following criteria can join CFA
• 16 years of education (in any field)
• Any recognized professional qualification e-g CA, ACCA or CIMA
• 4 years of experience (any work experience)
• 14 years of education and 2 years of work experience
• Persons with ACCA level II pass or in final year of bachelor can take up Level I of CFA Program.

Also visit CFA institute website.

If i were you I would first join ACCA then CFA.
FULL ACCA qualification is not required to join CFA.

No

CFA is not a degree. It is a qualification.

CA and CFA are totally different fields. So FCA is not like CFA Charterholder.
