Hello friends,
I am a tax accountant. I have a bachelor degree in accounting and 4.5 years of experience working for a auditing and accounting firm. I do not have a CA/CMA/CGA. I have applied under NOC 1111 and have received ITA. NOC 1111 states under "Employment Requirements" states the following
Employment requirements are prerequisites generally needed to enter an occupation.
Some consultants that I have spoken to have informed me that my application for PR under NOC 1111 will be rejected because I do not have CA/CPA/CMA/CGA. They informed me that in recent times, the rate of such rejections has gone up.
Please advise on the following:

Please advise on the following:
- Is license such as CA/CMA/CGA/CPA a requirement even for PR? Is there a cic link that supports this stand?
- If license is a requirement, please also share cic link.
- Is it just required if you want to work in your regulated profession?
- Please share your knowledge if anyone has been rejected due to not having license.
- My current selected province is Ontario. Is there a higher chance or rejection because of Ontario? Which province should I select?
