ACCA or CA?

[adellone92]

iam currently in my first year of A-levels(my subjects are, law, computing, accounts, and economics). and i have to apply to a university in about 6 months. so, i needed some advice on whether i should do ACCA, or CA? and also, iam planning on going abroad for my studies, either australia or canada. can anyone recommend a good university offering the courses iam interested in, in these countries, and the expected expenditure. any help will be appreciated.

I think ACCA is more good option if you want to go Canada. But i would suggest you to complete your ACCA in Pakistan and then gain membership. Once you are member you can get CGA Canada on the basis of your ACCA membership. Stouffville College is in Toronto offering ACCA course. Take a look at their website for fees details.

Now about CA, i don't know which CA your are talking about ICAP,CICA or ICAA. Country's local qualification is always preferred to overseas qualification in most cases. If you want to work in Australia ICAA would be best option than ACCA. CICA is best in Canada. I don't think ICAP membership will help you in either Canada or Australia.
