The people at SUN told me that its not but did not tell me why, they were reluctant to disclose further technical info.Thats why I'm bothering you guys and my self through internet.Its important to me cause I need to join my brother in Toronto.I must know what I lack in terms of education and experience.Another consultant asked $500 just to tell me about what I lack or not for NOC-1111..thats absurd!
Have you seen any one practically getting points for PGD? if yes than I'll take your words as effective.[^]

Hi all,

Been reading this forum for three years now and it has helped me for nearly all the problems i held about different things.one question i need to post is that i have recently done my ACCA. how many points does the Acca qualification get? and do i require HEC equivalency for it? and secondly if i become an acca member and then apply for the CGA membership from Pakistan will that get me points in the immigration?

a.shahab · 02-21-2010, 07:56 AM

Hey,

Im a Canadian citizen living in Pakistan for the past few years. I have done my high school from Canada and about a year of studies as a management major at the University of Toronto. Due to some family problems I had to move back to Pakistan and after arriving here I decided to join ACCA. Now Im in my professional module and am planning my escape back to Mississauga as soon as possible. I dont have any work experience yet and am planning to start applying this year. So my questions are

1. What kind of companies/firms should I be applying to in order to avoid the whole canadian experience issue?

2. What is the deal with the MRA between CGA n ACCA? Is it valid only until December 2011?

I have given myself a deadline of 3 more years so in about 2012 I should be back in Canada. Im 22 and am willing to work hard and most of all I love Canada even when its a -25 ka windchill and the GO is late and I cant feel my fingers anymore so the obsession to go back and make something out of myself is there.

I would value your suggestions and advice immensely

Plz help

You should be applying in manager/supervisory post related to financial managers or auditors, whatever company be it. If you wish to apply in the financial auditors category then the job experience should have been obtained(preferably) from an audit firm
The MRA between ACCA and CGA allows the members of the each body to allow to obtain the membership of the other body by fulfilling certain requirements. The initial terms of the agreement are 5years, commencing from 1 january 2007

 Hi mera sawal CGA k bare main hai.
CGA's MRA with ACCA is for full members but what would be the status of ACCA affiliates?I know that a Canadian law course is required but what next?Kia experience partially (kuch Pak main aur kuch canada main) Canada main complete ker sakte hain ya nahin if one get immigration?
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Affiliates would have to wait till they become ACCA member and then they can get CGA through MRA. I think ACCA should not have problem in accepting experience in Pakistan and Canada, as it is available in both countries and requires number of years of experience only. However, its better you confirm it directly with ACCA.

One very important thing I wanna let students and affiliates of ACCA who are potential immigrants of Canada know that DO NOT go to CGA for enrollment here if your status is also student or affiliate of ACCA. Because with enrollment with CGA you would become student of CGA, and there is a very specific term in MRA between CGA and ACCA that this MRA is NOT for those who were previous students of CGA and became ACCA member later and then try to get CGA's membership. In that specific case CGA does not allow its membership to ACCA members if they were also students of CGA too.

So, in essence, DO NOT get CGA enrollment till you become ACCA member, otherwise CGA would NOT allow you its membership basis of MRA, and you would have to complete leftover courses of CGA.

I hope it helps.

dear a.shahab,
as u stated that u don't have any experience so wait until u become a full ACCA member and then apply to CGA for membership.Getting a job on the basis of part qualified ACCA and without experience would be rather difficult.Canadian qualifications and Canadian experience r two prefered attributes that u currently lack.But as u r a national , u can go there and compete for jobs.
