Somebody has explained previously as below-

ICWAI's Institute of cost & works Accountants of India, as you must understand that Canadian itself has numbers of professional institutes and forums including chartered accountant , cost accountants etc etc .. and its very hard to enter into the system with foreign degree and certificates but of course not impossible..

Due to massive inflow of immigrants from all over the world Canadian job market now understand and recognize the foreign certificates and degrees.

Now it depends on each individual how he/she equipped him/herself :
1) The best is Canadian local degree and certificate
2) than internationally recognized degree and certificates
3) third applicant home country degree and certificates

the more you towards the point 1 , more your chances of having professional job increases.

At this point of time the certificate from ICWAI falls under category 3 , but you can easily transform it in 2 by taking strategic examination of CIMA . check your local institute website or CIMA website for details.


IMA (CMA) is also considered in category 3 so no need to take two certificates both are in category 3.


This is for your information.
