Better if you look for another type of job or a part-time job and do your certificate courses from Canada. Then only your accountancy profession will be of value. They don't consider Indian CAs.

Hi Qorax or anyone,

Anyone here have any idea about lecturing positions in colleges for finance or business related courses, besides universities, cause some of us arent PHD holders or professors but possessed quite many years of lecturing or instructing experience in such related fields. Which cities would be good advice to land in or where would be one place that has more hiring opportunities in such vocations.

Thanks for any advice out there!

I suggest you start the credentialing process with the Alliance. After that, then you will know if you are eligible to take the exam or if you need to go through some classes.

Thanks Rogger55.,

Send an email to your VO asap, requesting a Case Progress Update. If u do not receive a reply, send another one in 15-20 days thru the CIC web form.

Also order your CAIPS at the earliest. That'd provide u some inputs as to what's going on in your file.

Good luck!

Getting a qualification in accounting in a college is the first step towards getting a job in accounting. After getting his or her bachelors, he will need to be certified in either CA, CGA or CMA depending on what path of accounting he is interested in getting into. So that will help for sure but its only the beginning.

WHICH CITY TO LAND? -for FSW without AEO & friends/relatives

My opinion: TORONTO.
-It has a bigger job basket, for any occupation. Thus, the share is bigger -so the opportunities are larger.
-Weather wise, it is not that bad. Perfectly manageable even in winters or summers.
-Cost of living wise, quite Ok too -quite compititive vis-a-vis the other deciding factors.
-The higest minority populace. Ppl are extremely tolerant to race, color, creed, faith etc.
-Land there first, take a 'survival job', which'll be easier here & move to any city after getting the choice job.
-Important: It's not the profession of a newcomer, but the initial survival that'd be the decider for a city.

VANCOUVER:
Very aptly said by others before on this forum. It's the best city weather wise & has a charmed beauty. Quite nice minority populace, yes -Indians rock here. But, better avoided.
-No or minimal jobs today for any field. (note: the winter olympics thing is temp)
-The costliest city to settle down.
-Housing costs are sky rocketting.
-Not at all a good choice for a newcomer, w/out AOE or friends/relatives support.
-What's the point of all that beauty, if u do not have money in ur pocket?

CALGARY-EDMONTON CORRIDOR:
Very nicely coming-up. Weather is cold, but adjustable [Edmonton needs adaptation though]. Has the 'rockies' to enhance its beauty. A perfect alternative to Vancouver. But:
-Newcomers should take it as a 2nd choice to Toronto. Due to the factors I said under Toronto.
-Damn good for establishing a business. (no provincial tax)
-Essentially a befitting place for Oil & Gas sector, which also makes other jobs available in their HOs.
-But remember again: For newcomer jobs, take Toronto as POE.

There is nothing wrong in other Canadian cities. But this post is meant for newcomers, looking for instant jobs, not for business; and for those who do not have an AOE or freinds/relatives to initially assist. Else, any other city has its own merits/demerits.

Ps: I have visited all the above cities. But my views are based on limited info. The actual residents, who are on this forum, might have a better opinion.

Qorax,

I have been told that Vancouver is the best for hotelier to get a job ..Please help ??
