I sent it in about 2 weeks ago. Thanks for your words.. I am a bit paranoid I think because a friend just had hers returned a day or two after decision made and for me it has been 1.5 weeks and no word. I'm just wondering what the heck is there to do after DM?!! Thanks again R4C

Hi All! I have sent PP to POS and my status has changed to DM for more than a week now, still no sign of docs being returned. Anyone in a similar boat? Thanks in advance R4C

Thanks PMM! I figured as much. I read the notes and see that it says canadian employer. I just thought that since there are UN offices based in Canada as well, the international counterparts would qualify. Do you know if there is a section that speaks specifically to employment in...

Dear Members, I recently posted this in another forum but no one was able to help: I have read that time spent outside of the country while working at a canadian international office would count toward residency requirments. Does anyone know if international organisations such as UN offices...

Members, I have read that time spent outside of the country while working at a canadian international office would count toward residency requirments. Does anyone know if international organisations such as UN offices are included in this.. Thanks r4c

Congrats on your new job!! I am also an auditor / accountant. I have CGA but no Canadian experience. Do you think that I will be able to find a job within a reasonable time, based on the market and your experience? R4C

Congrats Egrace. Wow, 7mths for med request.. i hope the ppr and the visa issuance come quickly . I have been waiting 3months now and not even an AOR so I don't have any confidence that I'll get the med request quickly ::) all the best to you in the rest of you journey - and to everyone on...

Good Luck Shahi! All the best on your new journey.

Hi Raja045 The MRA is a mutual recognition agreement between ACCA and CGA. Follow the below link for a further explanation and requirments. http://www.cga-canada.org/en-ca/International/StrategicAlliances/MraAccaCga/Pages/ca_mra_acca_cga.aspx Note that it's for members and not students i.e...

Hi Aaj, I have no idea of exemptions but when you finish ACCA and become a full member, you can gain CGA without taking further exams. The websites are http://www.cga-canada.org for CGA and http://www.accaglobal.com/ for ACCA. CGA admission differs from province to province so you will have...

Hi Naf. I have gotten my CSQ and now in the process of the federal application. It's going ok. As for job prospects, I have been on the Emploi Quebec website and submitted several job application. I can see that the employers are looking for accountants / auditors but once they contact me...

That is true about the canadian work experience so be prepared to work in an entry level job to begin with. I am going through the Quebec route so the in-demand list is different. The only issue with working as an accoutant there is that you would have to pass a french proficiency exam to be...

Hi Naf, You can continue ACCA in Canada. You can do self study and take the exam at one of the official sites (see accaglobal.com for more info). The only ACCA tuition centre I have heard of in Canada is in Toronto (London School of Business and Finance LSBF). You can finish ACCA and once...

Here it is: https://www.francisationenligne.gouv.qc.ca/ you have to click on "demande d'admission" and fill out the form r4c

Hi everyone To those of you who have / are about to get your CSQ, please take advantage of the FEL course offered by the governement of Quebec. It is very good and I am learning a lot.. There are reading and listening excercises and "les classes virtuelles". You need a mic and speakers to be...

I understand that it cant be 0 for all PRs. I was saying that i doubt that a cic with a target of 0 will not issue any PRs. At least this is what I am hoping :( Congrats Manoylo on getting your interview call.. best wishes for getting your csq!!

thanks for the encouragement! my profession is also regualated and when i transfer my cga to quebec i will have to do a french proficiency test (ugh). My french is great for general conversation, but for business, i still have a lot of work to do. All the best with your job hunt too.

Hi all, Has anyone started their job search in Quebec? Here is my experience so far: The job market for accountants is very good. I get contacted from many employers and agencies. However, when they see I have no Canada experience they lost interest immediately. I am a CGA qualified...

Thanks It is confusing though.. what do you think it means for CIC's that have 0 in their columns. Clearly this cant mean that they will issue 0 PRs. If so, why would they continue taking applications. r4c

@egrace Hi What is the source of this information? I couldn't find anything similar on the CIC website r4k
