Hi Rehan, could you please advise if i got only one exemption for F1, would I qualify for MRA?
ACCA-CGA/CPA Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA)
- Thread starter karachi-pakistan
- Start date
OBU will work for it.
I believe it shouldn't be a problem. It depends under what route you entered ACCA. If it's through CAT/FIA, then no issue. I myself got 3 exemptions on CAT basis and it was accepted.
I took all papers except F1. I got some few questions- how employers see that CPA is obtained via MRA, do they look at it as lower quality CPA or there is no such a problem. Thanks for your reply.
There is no such thing. CPA is CPA. Employers got nothing to do with entry route. There is a reason CPA Canada is exempting all exams for ACCA qualified and that is that they recognize the quality of qualification
Thanks Rehan again, may God bless you.There is no such thing. CPA is CPA. Employers got nothing to do with entry route. There is a reason CPA Canada is exempting all exams for ACCA qualified and that is that they recognize the quality of qualification
What is one does not have and is not eligible for OBU?
In my (my wife) case, my university only send transcript but not degree certificate of my university degree. Not sure how can I tackle this issue. We still have time to prepare (she needs to complete 1 more year of PER) for this but want to know what are the options we have.
The requirement is to have a university degree. If it's other than OBU, then you need to tell CPA about it and they will advise whether it's acceptable and also whether you need to get a separate evaluation from WES for purpose of CPA.
Hmm .. I think I was not able to convey my query properly.
In order to apply CPA (Ontario in our case) under MRA between ACCA and CPA Canada one of the requirement is to send original documents that suggest completion of University degree in accounting (refer here https://goo.gl/GBgM1P). I can send the original transcript (enclose in a seal envelope issued from the Registrar of the University), however the envelope does not have transcript.
My question is, is it enough to submit transcript only or do we have to submit degree certificate in a seal envelope? I am looking for experience ACCA full members, who have obtained CPA Canada through the MRA.
Note: I do not think for an ACCA member admitted in ACCA after Dec 31, 1997, applicant is not required to accessed the transcript to apply for CPA (CPA, CGA), as long as the applicant has minimum a university degree awarded by one of the recognized university.
They did not ask me to submit degree certificate. All they asked was copy of transcript sent directly by university.
Thanks a lot. This is what I was looking for.
In our case, the university does not send copy of transcripts. Instead, the university Registrar certify the copies of transcript, enclose the certified copy in an envelope with name and address of the university, seal the envelope with university logo and give it to the applicant. I have used such envelope to the applicant. The envelope is also enclosed with a letter saying the transcript-copies are certified by registrar and mentioning that the university does not have any provision to mail the transcript. I have used such envelope for university application and for ECA (PR application) in Canada.

As i have the same credentials as you i.e. ACCA member+BCOM+MA(ECO) (plus i have done evaluation for immigration purposes via WES). Iam also confused with sending of transcripts by KU directly. So please let me know how to proceed.
