Your wife will need to meet Canadian Standards to work as an accountant here. I would contact the CGA group and ask them directly if no one else here knows.

PS: Depending on your wife's degree, she may have to start over. This is an unfortunate truth in coming to Canada.

Thanks a ton for replies.
My wife has worked in India which is a sister concern of a company based in Toronto.
I mean the parent company of the company in which my wife has worked is in Toronto.
Can this be looked upon positively?
Will this increase her chances for gettign the job.

Hey,
There's some big differences on how things are done here and in that part of the world. She will definitely need to do some sort of courses here to get accustomed to the accounting (and taxation) culture in Canada. Being a CA, that shouldn't be hard. If she has experience with IFRS that should help her too.
Contact CGA and see what credentials they will let her transfer. Depending on how recent her credentials are, they will give her credit. Check out their website. Also look into, and contact CA, and CMA and get info from them as well.
In the mean time she could apply via agencies that specialize in finance/accounting jobs while she gets all that sorted. If she has working knowledge of accounting softwares, excel, etc., she should be able to get low level accounting jobs. At least get some experience going while you wait to get credentials sorted with one of the designation bodies.
You said Toronto, I got my first accounting job with Kieth Bagg Agency. You could contact them and check them out. I'm not sure if they accommodate people on work visas, but you can check.

Hi
Thanks for the relpies again.
As mentioned in your post she might end up getting low level accounting jobs. What can be the salary level for such jobs.
Moreover are CA, CGA and CMA three differtent accounting bodies in Canada?
Among the three which body will be the easiest or least time consuming for becoming a member. And what be the salary levels once one becomes a member of any of these bodies?
