WHICH CITY TO LAND ? -for New Immigrants

[tellram]

Hello
Is India CA recognized in Canada? Are there any understanding between the two accounting institutions?
Thank you.

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.

Qorax,

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

Yes, it is. But till the time u get that job u might become penniless. Nonetheless, if u have any other sort of support there be free to go. And if the heart suggests Vancouver only, Vancouver it must be for u.

None, yr Indian CA is useless in Canada and its not recognised. U will need to re-take CA, CMA or CGA. Dont bang and hope that yr indian CA is of use in canada. Yr qualification means nothing in canada.

Somewhere in the General Forum I had put-in a thread on that, 'coz I had a similar dichotomy earlier. Read that thread... There r some solid info floated by some serious thinkers.

Hi Qorax!

Is Toronto good for hoteliers? My husband is a hotelier and he is the Principal Applicant. I am a lawyer and since my profession is still not recognized until perhaps, I get my credentials reviewed and probably take some classes, I will not be able to practice my profession. Nevertheless, I would want to at least get a survival job that is very near the legal profession, perhaps a researcher or something. Since Toronto is a big place, I am thinking that I might have more opportunities there. What do you think?

Thanks thanks. By the way, our original plan is Vancouver but I am leaning on Toronto now. ;D

Dear Ma'am,

Definitely Vancouver is a better place for hospitality jobs, 'coz that city is driven by the tourism industry. However, Toronto is no bad either, 'coz it's a huge cosmo & an equal nos. of hotel (& related business) r here as well.

Said that, one should note that most likely our 1st job (or few more) r not going to come in our core line of occupation. We may have to adjust with starter jobs initially... And these jobs r aplenty in larger cities like Toronto (definitely more than Vancouver).

Secondly, Vancouver, besides being one of the most beautiful cities of Canada, is also a damn costly place. The living costs r just over the top. Two other cities that come to my mind -being closer to the said price parlance -r Tokyo & London. And all the 3 r not welcoming for newcomers, unless u have a readymade job, or a bagful of $$$, or a friend/relative to fall back on.

I hope u get my point.

All the very best!

If u had been a mechanical engineer and working as a lecturer and u would like to do the same in Canada then u will need to be certified as a Professional Engineer (P Eng) in Canada first to be considered as a qualified engineer and would have to be practising as an engineer in Canada for some period of time before u are considered as an engineer. Then in this case, u would need to be enrol in a college or a university to get some form of qualification or alternatively u would have to get a letter from the professional engineering board of yr home country and certify that u have been a professional engineer then when u land in canada, u would have to show the engineering board in canada and u may have to take some qualifying exams to be certified as a P Eng. U would need to enquire with the professional board of engineers in Canada or the province u want to practise.

Next, to be a engineering lecturer, u would need to do the above to be qualified as an engineer first then u can be considered qualified to teach in the engineering field. Then in this case, if u would like to enrol in some programs then u can try colleges or Polytechnics for Diploma programs or Universities for Degree programs. Search the net for the colleges / polytechnics or unis that u want to stay in that respective province.

As for your wife, she would need to have her degrees accreditated by the canadian boards in her field then after that, apply to colleges or schools or unis for the teaching positions that she wants. But bear in mind, her credentials may not be recognised in Canada and hence she may have to do the same as u.
