Hi All,

I am an ACCA member applying WES assessment. Unfortunately, this is the only qualification that I have and I am hovering around the cut off for the express entry route.

While applying for the WES assessment I may have made a mistake by selecting two certificates for assessment;
1) Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business
2) ACCA Membership Certificate

Technically, the Advanced Diploma is considered equivalent to a bachelors degree while completion of the professional papers is equal to a masters degree.

First of all I would like to know if I made a mistake by trying to get both certificates evaluated separately.
Secondly, will I be able to apply for the "2 or more" option when filling out CSR?
Thirdly, could I get rejected because I only have ACCA. If WES evaluates ACCA as a degree at least, shouldn't it be accepted?

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Thanks and Regards,
Varun

Gents, i need assistance.

I am currently filling up the form for Ontario PNP Application.

I got the WES equivalence of 2 (4 year) bachelor degrees for my ACCA and OBU Degree.

Now in the form, it's asking me the duration and country of my study.

Thing is both ACCA and OBU are practically the same period if we see the transcripts, so i am not sure what i should be declaring in the form.

wont the immigration agent raise questions how i am declaring two full time bachelors for the same period of study?

Also should i mention country as UK or Pakistan (i did part of ACCA in UK actually).

Regards

No, concurrent education is not an issue. Just provide an explanation how did you complete it in your documents, hopefully in LOE

The credential will be evaluated by WES. You need to create an account.

To send transcript directly, CASL has online transcript facility for members, I am not sure about students,

Hi, thanks for your reply.
You mean they will evaluate CASL even though I have not completed the full course?

I have no idea how WES do it but, if you CASL issues a transcript for what you have done, they should in my opinion.

I have used the option for a transcript for CA members.

I know CIMA issues for part qualified persons.

Hi Sandesh,

I am also planning to get ECA done by WES. However, i am not sure whether i am only required to submit ACCA documents or do i need to submit my secondary level documents. I dont have graduation.

Appreciate if you can guide.

Dear

You only have to submit your degree certificate along with marksheet .Which has to be sent by your college in sealed pack envelope.

Best wishes

Hi All,

I am following this forum for 7 months and I found its members quite helpful. I have an issue which requires your attention. I am currently living in Pakistan and I am applying for Canadian immigration. I am ACCA member and I want to apply for CPA membership under MRA between ACCA and CPA. I have gone through the requirements of the MRA and I found that it requires university degree of 3/4 years. I started studying ACCA after high school at very young age. As of now, I don’t have any university degree and if enrol into any such program then it would take 2-3 years to complete.
I, due to some reason, opted-out of the BSc (Hons.) of Oxford brookes degree at the time of my ACCA Registration although I passed F4 paper before any of the F7,F8 and F9 exams.

I would be grateful if you let me know whether I will be exempt of this degree requirement in this case?

If not then assessment of CAT (Certified Accounting Technician) qualification by WES would count
towards the university degree requirement of MRA?

I have few more questions if you guys please help me.

If neither Exemption nor CAT works then MSc in professional accountancy from university of London offered after ACCA would count as university degree for this MRA?

Lastly, If I skip all these steps and just immigrate to Canada with only ACCA membership and 3/4 years of experience in hand would it be enough to land accounts/audit job in 2 months?

I would be grateful if the veteran members (especially the ones currently residing in Canada) of this forum help me in this regard.

Many Thanks,

Hi,
I have a completed BSc degree in Finance and WES evaluated it under the category of 3 year program.
Can I start a diploma for it to be considered as 2 degrees (1 must be more than 3 years)?

Appreciate some guidance here

Thanks,

Hello Everyone.

I am Part Qualified ACCA as I've completed ACCA till F9. I have the OBU Degree and the Advanced Diploma in Accounting and Business. Would this be enough to get a CES assessment of 2 degrees or more?

Has anyone had any luck with this?

I have not completed ACCA. I just have the degree AND diploma.

Regards,
Rehman Khan
