<br />Hi there,
Now studying for CGA. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Can you be more specific? What CGA level, when do you expect to be designated (complete the educational and work experience requirements) ?
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, san" id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">How can I get a Job in USA? Where do I find USA jobs? <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
Its the same way as in Canada, apply directly to the company, online websites (monster.com), recruitment agencies (Accountemps) and networking.
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, san" id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">How can I know if US employer is interested in hiring someone from Canada?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
You can't. If you have a the required skill set the employer will contact you. Also, larger companies have the time and money to sponsor foreign workers.
<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, san" id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">Is CGA is acceptable in US?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></font id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
CGA is virtually unknown over there.
Passing the CPA exam also has little value, you can find hundreds of Americans who passed the CPA exams and still find it hard to get a job.
I believe the easiest way is to work for a US based company in Canada or a Canadian company with offices in the US and request a transfer.
I will be quite honest with you, US employers mainly sponsor engineers, IT specialists, business people with extensive experience and doctors from Canada and the world. Why these fields ? Because Americans are not into math (most on H1B visa are engineers or IT personnel) and to become a doctor in the US is a lengthy and very expensive process.
On the other hand, the business field (accounting, finance, marketing, etc) attracts a lot of locals and it will be extremely difficult to gain sponsorship if you don't offer something locals don't have.

Thanks Kitro.
I am in the 4th level. I have one paper to clear in 4th level. I hope to finish CGA in 2 years time.
I have 4 years experience in Pakistan. 9 years in UAE. Almost 3 years in Canada.So total 16 years. I have done B.com and then M.com full time from Pakistan.
I was very curious to know how can I get into US and work and live there. That is why I asked these questions.
Thank you so much for your information.
