If you want to do less costly course then ICMA is best but keep it in mind that I may be too time consuming. CA is totally not favourable for you because you would not be able to do articles. CIMA is costly and it is course of management and cost accounting just like ICMA. It is ussually considered worthless in Pakistan.
Although I am a student of ICMA but in your case I would suggest you that take admission in ACCA. Regards, Awais Aftab

If you want to stay in Pakistan then ACMA (ICMAP) will be a good choice but if you have any plan to move outside Pakistan then you can go for CMA (IMA - USA)or ACCA (U.K).
Depending upon your MBA degree acceptance you might be able to get some exemptions in ACCA.

Dear Bilal,
Getting job required mixture of many things like qualification, experience, personality and resources. But these professional qualifications are provided us enough tools to fight in competitive market. I don't think you will get exemption in CMA (IMA) on the basis of your MBA. For more deatils please check website of IMA - USA www.imanet.org or check my thread "CMA (Certified Management Accountant)". Regards, Sohail
