Dear Toronto boy,
I am so glad that you have returned back to this forum after a long time. I am very much impressed by your fair guidelines.
Let me introduce myself
I have completed CAT from Pakistan then went to U.K for ACCA. There I completed most of ACCA papers. After 3 years I came back to Pakistan and started articles from BIG4. meanwhile I got BSC horns in Accountancy from OBU. Now 2 years of articles completed and last paper of ACCA is result awaiting.
I am planning to move Canada for its passport (as my home country economic environment Is not good, in Canada if I will not get reasonable job then I can also start business after PR). For that I chose student route, I met to a consultant ( good friend of my dad), he told me that Master program in Canada are usually for 1 or 1.5 years so it will not be easy to get PR after masters in accountancy/professional accountancy. secondly, they need GMAT and admission criteria are though in universities. therefore he suggested me to take admission in Humber/George Brown college in Ontario Graduate certificate in Global Business Management (GBM) 2 years of duration.
I am bit confused as I can divert from my accountancy background and it seems that GBM has no/limited worth for jobs ( As I have never heard about jobs for GBM). But I am giving satisfaction to my self that after GBM I can easily get passport and my previous experience and ACCA/CGA/Bsc will help me to get job in accountancy field.
So friend, what you really suggest me as I am very much confused for taking decision.
P.S Your time is precious, but can help for my better future.
