ACCA conversion

[steffyc]

Hello all,

I am an ACCA member and do not have any other degree.

I have a query regarding filling the express entry profile. I have 3 years + in auditing field and on that basis i chose NOC 1111. However i am aware that this is a regulated profession, do i have to convert my ACCA membership into CPA for immigration purposes? Or will it be fine and if i ever get ITA i can convert when i land to Canada? As one of the form is asking whether i have taken any steps to get a licence/certification from the regulated body.

Can someone please advise on the best way to tackle this issue..

Thank you

Your ACCA needs to be assessed by WES to get the points. You dont need to convert to CPA before PPR.

Thank you sugar 2016 for your reply.

I have already assessed my ACCA which is equivalent to a bachelor's degree. So you mean that conversion is fundamental? Has you have noted i do not have a degree other than acca meaning that if i were to convert my acca into cpa i would first have to do a degree right?

All you need is the ECA from WES that will give you the points for 1x degree

For EE FSW application purposes you are not in a restricted profession and do not need to covert
