<br />Hey guys.
i've posted threads here earlier but unfortunately nobody's willing to help me out (.
I need help with a huge career problem.Im an a'levels student...well i've just started a'lvels from roots. The problem is i cant seem to get a clear picture of what i want to do after a'levels. Dont worry...this is'nt one of those career-guidance thread. I know i want to get into accounting. Im planning on going to canada for my undergraduate degree in accouting anf finance.
The real problem is i want to do CA from canada and NOT from pakistan.My uncle and a cousin are chartered accountants of ICAP and they advised me not to go for it. I mean no offence to any ICAPian or anyone.
I'll give you the reason why im choosing canada. Its mainly because i see myself there working in the future. Our economy is falling and i really dont want to work here. Its also because i spent 5 years of my life in canada and i kinda like it (im not a citizen there).
Im desperate for answers. Everyone is welcome. I'd really appreciate answers from the senior members here. Torontoboy is more then welcomed since he's living in canada rightnow.
I KNOW IM ASKING LOADS OF QUESTIONS...BUT PLEASE DONT JUST READ IT, TRY TO ANSWER IF YOUR CAN )

I understand why you don't want to persue local CA.
However, the economy is not falling. Its just not growing in Pakistan. Yet finance people are doing good there. As far as i know a fully qualified finance guy with 3 years articles can earn a min 25k and a max 100k +. So i precieve it to be a reasonable salary range coupled with a prospect to grow in future.
Going to Canada a Graduate degree in accounting is where you start from. Then you go for CGA or CICA. You will be able to find a job after your Grad degree. During your degree keep looking for internships to gain exposure.
You need to make sure your papers are correct and you will not find youself coming back to Pakistan due to immigration problems in the middle of your course.
I am not very sure if you can start CGA/CICA immidiately after A levels. If you can, i would say go for it and study for your degree with the professional qualification. You need to confirm this first.
Other option is that you go for ACCA in Pakistan and use the MOU between CGA and ACCA.
