Indian Chartered Accountant (CA) Applicants for Canada PR

[CAsharma]

For the transcripts you simply need to apply online at ICAI.- https://www.icai.org/post.html?post_id=653

I am not really sure you need to submit your Membership certificate. At least I did not send it to WES. However I did attach a scan with AOR application.

What’s this AOR application

Hi Sahil

Thanks

There are certain things that I need to ask :

1) when applying for ECA through WES Website .
what would be considered as month and year for end of the course for CA course ? - I am not sure it matters. I cleared my CA in 4 years from CPT to Final. But WES just considered it as 3 year bachelor degree. They will just see you have passed and thats all.

Would be it be month and year in which exams given or month and year in which candidate cleared exam. Like if someone qualified in May 2019 and got result in August 2019 . So which one to consider ?

2) For applying transcripts from ICAI ,I have read on Institute website that we have to apply online and afterwards send self attested hard copy of marksheets and certificates to ICAI . So are we required to send all the marksheets even though those in which a candidate appeared but wasn’t successful or restricted to only those in which a person pass exams ? I guess second would be fine . I had sent them all my mark sheets as I'm sure they had all my mark sheet on their database.

3) where we need to submit it ? ICAI vishwas nagar or ITO Delhi office ? If you were from Delhi . - I really do not remember at the moment as it was like some 4 years ago. I'm sure its mentioned on website. However, if my memory serves me right it was ICAI vishwas nagar.

Please email me sample Work experience letters if you was able to find them .- sending them now.

Thanks

I am a CA and I'll share my application experience-

a) CA is considered as a 3 year bachelor by WES.
b) Articleship is considered as Part-time and falls under NOC 1112. Post qualification experience will be NOC1111
c) As per the MRA between ICAI and CPA Canada, you need to appear for UFE (law, ethics and tax) to get the CPA degree. However, you need to be a member in good standing with ICAI
d) If you are a B'Com, then I do not think, the CA will add much to your application.

Hi sahilsharma, I am a CA as well. However, WES does not assess the Institute that issued my Chartered Accountant status (ISCA Singapore). Hence anyone know if any other agency assess professional qualifications like CA? OR how do I fill in the application that WES assess CA?

Articleship Experience is counted as valid experience under NOC 1111. I used that experience to get my Permanent Residency and same was done by one of my newly qualified CA friend.

I am an Indian CA. It has been an year for me now in Canada and I would say it has been challenging so far. Most of the employers I had a chance to be interviewed by were giving preference to Canadian Education and experience. For some of them, even an Accounting Diploma from Canadian Institute is better than Chartered Accountant from abroad(except US). So i realized it isn't what it looks like. The government recognizes and grants permanent residency based on our skills and qualifications from our home country but the employers don't recognize it much. I had to work at a position way lower than my profile. So, I just want to get done with my Canadian CPA exam asap and get recognized here. So the simple answer is Indian CA is just not good enough. You will be a Canadian CPA after Clearing Common Final Examination.

What are the job prospects for an Indian CA migrating to Canada? i.e till I complete my CPA. And even after completing CPA, is it hard to find a job? Could someone please answer these questions of mine?

Yes i used the term article assistant as it's also explicitly stated in NOC 1111, I can forward you a copy of my reference letter if you share your email address.
I didn't mention the amount of stipend but it just stated that "he was in receipt of remuneration as per ICAI regulations"
