ACCA Student-need information about immigration & scholarship.

[NewHere!]

Hi Everyone!

I am new here.
I am studying ACCA currently & have two papers of F level remaining that I am planning to give this June. And I have been working as an intern in one of the Big Four Firms.

I need help regarding shifting to Canada for work and study both. The thing is I want to move to Canada but after completing my ACCA and then after getting some relevant experience from the big four firm. But I don't know what are the procedures and what Canadian Qualification they require for the entry. And I don't want to land up in some job that is not of my field :/ So I want to take the step smoothly and in a safer way.
Beside I am planning to do Islamic Finance( here where I live) and MBA too( but after getting done with ACCA).

And I want to study forensic accounting through scholarship in Canada. So can someone advice me which is the best thing to do? :/

You should spend some time reading the information on the CIC web site. The questions you are asking are answered there:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/index-can.asp

If you are interested in coming to Canada to study, then you should move to the International Students section of this forum and post your question there. Expect that you will have to pay all or most of the costs yourself. There aren't that many scholarships available to international students.

If you are interested in coming to work, then you will first need to find an employer in Canada who is willing to offer you a job.

Thank You for the reply. I did look into the website. But I couldn't get the answer I was searching for.
And I want to move to Canada for work and study both.

Is it different if you are shifting there permanently or something? :/

And Do I need to do any relevant course here so I get accepted for Canadian Immigration? As I read ACCA is considered as bachelor degree there :/

Shifting to Canada permanently is not the same as coming to Canada temporarily. There are different requirements for each. If you're confused by the information on the CIC site, then I would recommend that you hire a consultant to assist you.

If you want to come to Canada as an International student, then you won't be able to work until you have completed six months of full time study in Canada.

ACCA is not the equivalent of a bachelor's degree in Canada. It's classified as a professional designation. Not a degree.

Ah Ok. Thank You for clarifying it.

Yes I am planning to meet a consultant here regarding this matter.

By the way is it better to do forensic accounting and/or risk management here(where i live) or is it better to do it in Canada?
Can I do it here under the Canadian Board?If so can you provide me details about it?

And what is the role of Islamic Finance Qualification out there? As I heard these are the few future demanding course around the globe, correct me if I am right? :/
