Hi,LKetchup said:Dear Quorax & Others
I am a indian CA, currently working with a MNC Co in Dubai and planing to re locate to Calgary in March, wanted to have an idea about the job market for Accountants in calagary.
I am aware that i do not have candian expierence need to be certified....etc etc. which will take any time between 6mths to 1 year. Would appreciate any feed back or advice , which will be very helpful so as to survive till then.
Would also like to have an idea about where to stay and the avg cost of living in calagary is , we ar family of 4,including 2 kids aged 9 & 11.
Thanks in advance for your reply
1. W/out a CGA, CMA or CPA it'd be pretty tough to get into the same level of position in accounts as u r now. U may enter the field in a junior level (I've seen many get a 'job' in accounts dept.) but rising up will be nearly impossible w/out those quals.
2. As reg. Accounts Jobs in Calgary -- rest assured it'd be the same as in any other province. There r plenty of vacancies everywhere.
3. Staying in Calgary: Unfortunately I'm not aware of any temp. accoms. there for newcomers. Off course "motels" r galore & r a safe bet usually. I've noticed some threads on this forum specific to Calgary -- u may like to log-on there for this info.
All the best.
