[quote author=hayor2014 post=61182541][/quote] I ve gone through the Wikipedia page you shared. We hope ICAN will conclude the agreement with them soonest. I once mailed the president of ICAN Canada chapter sometimes around July asking him for available pathways but didn't get a response from him. |

oohunt: Your application must have been shipped to London, those guys are known for obeying the 6 months rule(even Canada no dey obey their rule reach them) lol Yup, u MUST travel, if it expires before u travel have to repeat the process all over. I don't know if u contact them before expiration of the visa, they may extend validity. No harm in confirming from cic |

mukhtar4u: I didn't even see the option of Basic or ICAP. What I saw was "Upgrade to course by course evaluation". I sent them a mail asking if it is the same as the ICAP course by course..yet to get a reply.. They also asked me to send same documents (transcript and degree certificate) that I sent for the ECA. I also sent them a mail asking if I really need to send the documents again..also yet to get a reply.. I hope I don't sha.. I submitted my application yesterday.. @Ehrnie please did you have to send your transcipt to them again? 2 Likes |

The webinar for internationally educated accountants will come up Nov 15. Missed the one for Sept. For ACCA it is more straightforward but for ICAN, you will have to write some courses and then pass the CFE (like the multi disciplinary case study). https://events-na11.adobeconnect.com/content/connect/c1/1114987542/en/events/event/shared/1655377685/event_registration.html?sco-id=1686339269 Link to Ontario CPA info for internationally trained accountants (ICAN) https://www.cpaontario.ca/become-a-cpa/why-cpa/internationally-trained-accountants/member-of-accounting-body-outside-canada 2 Likes 2 Shares |

Underwoodd: Exactly my concern as well. Knowing if the upgrade is same as ICAP course by course because the option is not there and confirming whether I really need to send same documents again. They don't reply mails at all Let's see if @Ehrnie and @dupyshoo can assist with their experience. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by Nobody: 11:37am On Oct 07, 2017 |
SlowlybtSurely: Yes, for a fresh application, there is price difference. ICAP is $245 while Basic is $210. The only difference in terms of features is that ICAP stores the verified transcripts for future use. However, for our case that needs only upgrade from ECA to course by course, I didn't see the option of ICAP and me I no wan pay twice oo |

Tamm: Hello boss, With respect to the above. Completing a PhD degree is 80% the responsibility of the students and 20% bureacracy etc. You can complete your PhD within the stipulated time if 1) your research interests are not ambiguous, 2) you work hand in hand with your supervisor. While it is possible for you to complete within 4 years, it is also possible to go beyond 4 years, but it depends on your results, your supervisor and your university. The truth is, completing a PhD in every country has its own hurdles and Canada is not left out. I am sure if you 'googled' "doing phd in other countries", you will also find similar feedbacks. About Canada not valuing their PhDs, well I cannot say anything about that but my university has lots of canadian phd holders as lecturers and most of them are foreigners. When it comes to PhD, there is usually 'a no size fits it all' kind of remark. My advice is go ahead with your PhD application, things are changing in Canada and now is the time. I hope this helps... 5 Likes 1 Share |

Ballerz: I understand this and to be honest, we are all doing the same this just the way they are doing it is different. This is where the concern comes in. But then another Youtube video I watched stated how the men had bundles of cash, more than one mobile phones, gadgets, and were well dressed. Which also tells a lot about them. Most of all, my heart goes out to the children. Canada is in for a huge change!!! Population growth, diversity, more businesses ..more! |

Hi - just trying to catch up on the WES/APEGA enquiries. Okay this is my own experience; - I already had a WES ECA report which I used for EE and all I did was upgrade this to the WES ICAP course by course report. This is what the upgrade is called. If you start from the APEGA website, it will direct you to the WES page to apply for this upgrade. APEGA has a very detailed PDF doc on their webpage that outlines the steps to the WES evaluation they require. - I had previously outlined the total cost I paid for my evaluation. It was $162.72 CAD which included a $7 delivery to my UK address. If you don't need the additional copy delivered to you then don't go for it. Just ensure you add APEGA as a receipient and pay the $7 delivery to APEGA. - WES requested a verification of my transcript from my Nigerian Uni (BSc)...even though I had done this before for my 1st ECA report. They didn't ask for my MSc (Uk) to be reverified (or maybe they did - I don't know). It is my understanding that they need not reverify my transcript, but after several calls and emails to WES and they kept saying the same thing "your university has to verify your transcript as this wasnt part of the initial ECA verification" I had to obey (lol) to avoid further delays. Please note that I didn't send any certs or transcripts to them. They already have the certs and all they wanted was the transcript verification. Now I can't recall which of the ICAP options I chose (but I doubt it's basic) but from the total cost I paid I'm sure you can figure out which of the two it is. APEGA have now received my documents and are satisfied..meaning I chose the right upgrade option. I hope this clarifies things? 5 Likes 4 Shares |

einsteino:While the US is firing coal from all cylinders in their coal power plants. A transcanada pipeline that is meant to carry crude oil from Alberta to the Eastern provinces just got canceled last week too. Na that one pain me pass. It's a $15.7 billion dollar project that would have created 15,000 full time jobs and several thousand part time and casual jobs accross Canada. Quebec was in strong opposition of the project, yet they receive the most amount in equalization payment. The Liberal gov full commitments to climate-change policies have created burdens on Oil companies in BC, Alberta and sask, while refineries in Quebec and other eastern provinces keep importing oil from countries such as Venezuela or Saudi. Whereas saudi or venezyela are not imposing greenhouse gas regulations on oil companies in their own country. 1st world problems.lol 3 Likes 1 Share |

ItsYourFriend: It may be correct that the ECA is already ICAP but APEGA needs course by course, ECA is just document evaluation. So, there is need for the upgrade. 2 Likes |
