behati: This is nice. However, I believe it would be more convenient writing it in Nigeria when one has better time to study and materials could be gotten ridiculously cheap. One can however continue writing exams from there. Have you read the requirements for obtaining the CPA designation for internationally trained accountants without any Mutual Recognised Agreement from either CIMA or ACCA? You would almost give up. The requirements are crazy! 2 Likes 1 Share |

Hello, Thanks alot for sharing the information. My husband intends to register with the HR professional body and write the exams when we land in Canada. Since we're still in Nigeria, pls I'd appreciate if I can get soft copies of study materials to prepare for the NKE exams. Can I PM you ? Cc: @ballerz @yimiton @britiko britiko: 1 Like 1 Share |

Chicjennie:Hi, please kindly confirm where you saw that CIMA doesn't have MRA with CPA Alberta. . Because I can clearly see CIMA on their website here: https://www.cpaalberta.ca/Become-a-CPA/Internationally-Trained-Individuals/MRAs |

Merovingian:No. I got a better full time employment, so I later declined their offer. As per negotiation, for INC, negotiate much higher because you handle your benefits, tax etc yourself. T4 is a normal contract employment where statutory deductions(tax etc) are done before you get your final pay. 3 Likes 1 Share |

jelmusboy:You have to plan to layer, dont gi about thinking you can always have 1 jacket. get lots of sweaters and cardigans that you can layer with. and ensure you have a water resistant jacket. they usually come with a hood but you cant be wearing raincoat or outdoor wear all the time. Google parkers its a standard type of jacket for cold seasons. For a man sweaters and cardigans is the bomb. Picture Pep Guardiola with a these layers. thermal top...shirt....cardigan....suit....Jacktet.....(and if cold persists) another over all jacket. 14 Likes 6 Shares |

Influential101: I believe this is a new development cos at the time I wrote this, I called the customer service at CPA Alberta. They further told me that not all provinces accept CIMA. However, it is stated clearly that all provinces accept ACCA except Quebec. You would also notice that the conversion process with ACCA is easier than CIMA but the thought of writing only 1 paper to obtain CIMA is the catchment. I'm only advising that it is better one writes ACCA to play safe because CPA would require your transcript from CIMA and once they see that you were exempted all papers except the Case Study exam, it is left for the registrar to decide. We are yet to hear from someone who obtained CPA through this ICAN-CIMA Pathway to guide us. 1 Like |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by CookieLyon: 4:06pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
Hi Guys, thanks for all this valuable info on this thread. I’m looking to move to Canada mid next year but I’m having difficulties deciding on which city to live in. Hubby is a pharmacist and I’m an accountant and one of my criteria for a city to live in would be where pharmaceutical head offices and finance firms are situated so hubby and I can have great career prospects. Toronto seems like the easy choice but it’s quite expensive and I’d prefer another city with the same criteria I’m looking for. I’m also looking for a city that’s warm. I really don’t like the cold and will like to avoid it as much as possible. |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by mikkyphp(m): 5:07pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
CookieLyon:how expensive is expensive? sometimes, you may need to make the best decision for yourself per time. You can live in Toronto or surrounding cities to maximize your opportunities...North york, Brampton, Mississauga, Scarborough...but dont make decisions solely on cost! 4 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant by salford1: 5:25pm On Nov 10, 2018 |
CookieLyon:You don't like cold and you want to move to Canada...? Oh well. As per your criteria, substitute cities would be Montreal or Vancouver based on what you want. These cities too have their disadvantages. Montreal: Cold and French speaking. Vancouver: warmer weather; however, it is very expensive, probably more than Toronto. Toronto and area might still be the most attractive choice based on your criteria. 5 Likes |
