@byron1976 said: @alkemist, which province certificate CPA Canada issues; as they have different CPA province regulatory body, for difference province,i guess? I am little confused, I must admit as i am applying for MPNP (Monitoba PNP) immigration purpose

@byron1976 the CPA MRA is with CPA British Columbia only. They are the only province to offer it as far as I am aware.

At Robert half my supervisor is a recruiting manager who help me to assign my job. But the company where I worked, I have a supervisor, who actually is a CPA (Canada) and supervise, help and guide me on my day-to-day roles. I would like register this job a part of my PER in myACCA Experience. Can someone help me to do so, based on their similar experience or opinion. I am particularity confused on (i) whom should I put as my employer, Robert-Half who pays me or The company where I actually work; (ii) who is my supervisor and son. Please help

Hello, I've just become an ACCA member recently (April 2018) and applying to convert my ACCA to CPA with CPA Alberta. I have been In Canada for 3 years. Although I started my ACCA in my home country, I didn't resume until I lived in Canada and took all my exams in Canada. Now that I'm converting, I'm shocked to know that I may not be able to do so because I didn't work in the accounting profession in my home country for 2 year immediately preceding to my receipt of the ACCA. I know that there are quite a lot of people are still doing their ACCA in Canada. Has anyone encounter the same problem and is there a way to get around it? Kind regards,

hi i am just about to apply for cpa under mra i have a uk based bachelors degree. do i need WES evaluation for this or shall i just ask my university to send transcripts to cpa ontario? what address do i have to send the transcripts to? please advise thanks

@alkemist I think I read somewhere at if one has availed exemptions for any of the 14 acca papers, they cannot apply for Canada CPA, but I'm not able to find much info on it now. Can you shed some light on this? I have transferred myself from Diploma in Accounting and Business to ACCA qualifications so I was given exemptions for papers F1-f3 by default. Will this affect my application for Canada CPA? I've got only 3 P level papers left now.

Not sure where you read this, but there are many persons who have received exemptions under ACCA who have become CPA Canada members.

Hi @alkemist and everyone, I try to search for some help on the 2 REFERENCES that are required for the conversion of ACCA to CPA.I'm still out of canada and do not know of any Canadian CPAS. Does anyone know how to meet that requirement please ?

If your question is not answered by the information here https://www.accaglobal.com/gb/en/member/membership/mutual-memberships.html (select the CPA Canada option) or in any of the related links or downloads at the bottom of that page you should contact: ACCA: [email protected] CPA Canada: [email protected]

Hi @obu2018 , if you do not know any Canadian CPAs, you can use 2 references who are members of ACCA and have known you for at least 1 year.

Has anyone tried to convert to CPA (Ontario) who doesn't have a bachelors degree before acquiring ACCA qualification and have more information on the PEP route? I have over 10 years of practical experience, been qualified ACCA for over 4 years but do not have a university degree, which is stopping me going down the MRA route. Do you get any exemptions from the PEP route? It seems insane that just because I didn't go to university before studying ACCA that it would mean I had to study for an additional 2 years!

Hello everybody. I’m a qualified chartered accountant from india. And then I did ACCA in 2017. Can somebody please tell me about MRA between Canadian CPA and ACCA? And my biggest concern is that after registering for cpa. When do I need to give the exam, overview of Canadian law and taxation ? Is that an online exam or I need to go to Canada to give that. What is total money involved? If somebody could help me it would be of great great help @alkemist sir if you could help me it would be of great help. Thank-you.
