Can a Filipino CPA work in Canada without studying?

[arylmae]

Hi! I'm planning to migrate to Canada. I'm a CPA here in PH and been working in one of the big 4 auditing firms for almost 5 years. Do I need to study there again in order to work as a bookkeeper and not necessary as an accountant or auditor? Thank you.

When you get PR, you can do whatever you want. You don’t need to be an accountant. Whether you are hired as a bookkeeper depends on your skills, work experience and the pool employers have to choose from. If you don’t get hired then you may want to consider further studies.
