An ACCA member can become CGA Canada after satisfying almost negligible requirements, from anywhere in the world i.e. without physically coming to Canada. Moreover, a student of ACCA can get exmptions for CGA cources on paper to paper basis. For further details please follow the links;

Working as just an auditor in USA and working as CPA designated auditor or accountant in USA are two different things. Anyone with relevant education can have a job in USA in audit firms, but to excell in profession in USA one eventually needs CPA designation.
There are several requirements to be a CPA like educational requirements, experience requirements, social security number (like Pakistani identity card number) or residency requirements etc. There are further requirements under educational and experience requirements like number of credit hours in different subjects, 150/120 credit hour requirement, experience certification by CPA supervisor or acceptance of some foreign qualified CA supervisor's certification of experience etc. These rules are quite complex and MUST need to be checked BEFORE applying and sitting for CPA exams that can only be taken in USA. State of Colorado accepts ACCA to satisfy educational requirements. Still one needs to satisfy other requirements.
Please search this forum, enough information and weblinks are already provided. For further search, please check State Board of Accounting websites and check at following link;

I hope it helps.
