Hello everyone.
Hope all of you guys are doing perfectly well. Iâm back again with my questions related to Audit firms in Canada? [p]
Does anyone among you people has any experience or knowledge about the hiring process of big four firms in Canada? I have been checking their career websites. As far as my knowledge serves, all of them offer opportunities to fresh graduates to join various departments from Audit/ assurance to business advisory etc. Career websites of some firms has the option for those graduates who are residing outside Canada and have attained their degrees from other countries. Does it mean that they may be issuing work permits etc too? Any ideas! Please guide me about how a prospective candidate for Audit firms can increase his/her chances of finding an audit job with big four firms?
Thanks & regards

International Graduate placement in BIG firms abroad is very competitive. But you can try and try but don't put all your hopes and expectations on this
