Dear Shredder
Sorry you had to wait.
Take it this way, with CMA (IMA) and CAT at-least you can represent yourself as US and UK education holder to prospective employers here, which may increase your employability.
Dear, I donât know either how many CAT or ACCA papers would be exempted after CMA (IMA). Suppose if someone has to do 10 ACCA papers in total and he takes 2 papers in each attempt. It would take about 2.5 years to complete all ACCA papers. At-least I can tell you that completing any of 3 Canadian designation takes more than 2.5 years for immigrants. However, you would have to calculate cost and risks involved in this option.
I have no idea about IAT institute you referred. In my view, you may consider any local college/ university diploma where you would be residing (like Seneca/ Centennial/ Humber/ York/ Ryerson etc. in Toronto), as employers know and prefer graduates of local institutions. Though website of this IAT institute says its Canadian but I never heard of it before.
I hope it helps.
Best Wishes and Regards
