Dear
You have raised many points. I would try to reply.
Regarding jobs in gulf countries for ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW, CFA, CIA, and CMA (USA), you may search yourself through internet and at other job forums. All such qualifications are available in Pakistan these days.
On what basis you think that Indians, Bangladeshies, or SriLankans are better than Pakistanies??? Just one example for you, more than 10,000 Pakistani origin doctors are working in USA alone, set aside all other fields and countries. So, why didn't their recruiters prefer other nationals over those Pakistani doctors? Don't you know that Pakistanies are working abroad in almost all fields/ countries? Don't you know that millions of Pakistanies live and work abroad? So, why did their foreign employers recruite them? Presence of Pakistanies in all these fields and foreign countries itself is a proof that they can do the job.
Dear, competition is there in every field and every where. So what. Prepare yourself for that. Otherwise you would be cornered. Are you doing CA (assuming) thinking that there won't be any competition once you complete it? Or to be a better prepared accountant for competition.
Foreign western employers prefer their own designations (if they have) like Canadian employers prefer their own designations. As I said earlier, a Pakistani member of ACCA, CIMA, ICAEW can get foreign designations through MRA. This way he becomes preferred one for foreign employers as compared to other applicants who don't have those required qualifications. For example, a Pakistani ACCA member would get CGA through MRA and would be preferred one for Canadian employers as compared to those who don't have Canadian designations. But then he would have to compete with other qualified/ eligible applicants. Now if you say Pakistani applicants can't compete just because they are Pakistanis then I can't help you.
I don't wanna indulge myself in ACCA v/s CA debate. So, can't reply what ACCAs or CAs say.
Moreover, finding a job has never been easy, in-fact its not even easy abroad. However, candidates who are prepared for competition would carve their share no matter where the job is.
I studied economics, then did CPA (AICPA) and CIA. Now living and working in Canada.
Regards
