I think this is very risky. If their passports are submitted, stamped and returned efore the baby is born, I am not sure IRCC will be able to do anything again. They'll then need to travel without the baby and later sponsor. They are so unpredictable now. My passport was processed in 10 days which means this can be the same case for them or even less.

It is better to go with the advise of waiting for the baby to come before submitting passport

I'm with you on this. It's better they DO NOT SUBMIT THEIR PASSPORTS YET as it would complicate issues. Submitting the passports for stamping would also work, but it is a longer and more clumsy process. The primary applicant should send a mail stating that they are expecting a baby in less than a month. When baby is born, they should process an international passport and do medicals for the baby .Then upload other necessary forms via CSE and send a mail to their Visa Office for the baby to be added to their profile. After which a new PPR mail would follow suit.

Good day all, please all 2019 AOR's getting PPR this period from AVO, did you get a medical extension? if yes for how long or were you asked to redo your medical. Thanks
We all did re-medicals before being asked to do so. We didn't wait for the ADR mail. It wasn't extended. I'd advice you book a re-medicals.
I understand that medicals are presently being extended for those that their eligibility have not been fully passed.
It would be sad if you miss this wave considering that your Visa Office is AVO.

Good morning, while filling the Express entry profile, I got to a point where the question was "is my job regulated in Canada". I'm not sure if it's regulated or notso I clicked "I don't know". Please is that okay?
Perfectly okay. I wrote same too last year & my eligibility has been passed.

Hello Chicjennie,

please correct me if i am wrong but i do not think WAEC will send scratch card on anyone's behalf. They only send transcript.

i honestly understand your concerns but i saw a group of people send theirs through this method on the platform.

smiley smiley smiley
Yes please. You are absolutely correct. A group of us combined and sent the scratch cards directly to WES ourselves through the FedEx at WAEC office.
Cheers.

I will be going to WAEC office later today or tomorrow so if anyone is interested in buying the scratch cards and sending to WES, please contact me. There's also a DHL office in my office building and the last time I sent some docs through them to Canada, I paid N18,500 and it got there in 4 days. It makes no sense sending one scratch card for that amount so let's split the bills.
Please how can I locate you for the split?

Hello house,

Are there people yet to send their WAEC scratch card to WES. let's mobilize ourselves and send in group please. I am currently low on cash.
I'm interested please. However, I think it is better to individually process it through WAEC to prevent going around in circles. The additional 10k to be spent is less than the stress involved compiling names and all. Moreso, it would gain more credibility if the scratch card is sent directly from WAEC.

You have to go to ICAN or ACCA office to register or any of their tuition centres to give you a detailed download on this..

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

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.

Just to add that there are ACCA centres in other province. Also, there is an option of paying for a special unlisted centre in any city.

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!

Chicjennie:
I'm also in your shoes. I decided to opt for ACCA option instead due to the following:

1. While Ontario accepts CIMA in the MRA for internationally trained accountants into CPA, Alberta does not.
2. I'm unsure about what CPA means by "completion of the *full* CIMA programme to be eligible.
3. ACCA's cut-off is 50% compared to CIMA that is 60%.
4. The ACCA option is cost effective as it is about 50% cheaper than the CIMA option.
5. The requirements to obtain the CPA designation with ACCA is less complex and more straightforward.
6. ACCA is more recognised worldwide than CIMA.

The only Con is that one gets to write 4 papers to obtain the ACCA qualification unlike CIMA that requires candidates to write only 1 paper. But trust me.. that one paper would be loaded!

If you have any objection to the above, please let me know.

Cheers..



Please I want to add...

In order to obtain the CIMA designation, ICAN members would be required to pay the sum of N400,000 (to write the Strategic Case study Exam) if they possess a minimum of 5 years post ICAN work experience while those that have below 5 years post ICAN work experience would be required to pay N630,000.

This was why I stated that the ACCA option was approximately 50% cheaper for those that would be required to pay N630,000 in order to obtain the CIMA certificate.

Its been a while I did ICAN o, i hope my brain still dey there, lols.

Thanks for sharing, i have been thinking long and hard about this and almost concluded to start CPA afresh in Canada.

Assuming I started writing ACCA but don't conclude before moving to Canada, what happens? Do you suppose I could write in Canada too?

Kindly share how you intend to study for the exams, tutoring centered, online?

I need to decide soon. Thanks


Apologies for the late response. I'm aware ACCA has centres in Canada but I think it's only in Ontario. It would not very convenient writing it there I suppose.

I didn't attend any tuition centre since I obtained my ACA not very long ago when ICAN converted to IFRS. I'm just focusing on the past questions and a photocopy of BPP Practice and Revision kit which I purchased N2,500 per paper beside Ivy League, Yaba. The BPP practice and revision kit is very comprehensive but one is expected to have a fair knowledge of all the IFRS and IAS before exploring this option for the Strategic Business Reporting (SBR) and P7 exam. I also bought Ivy League's lecture note N1,500 per paper but it is not very comprehensive. I'm writing 2 papers in December, SBR and P7.

If you study the past questions rigorously, say 15 diets and understand the principles behind them, you can be sure to pass. I did this for 2 months when I wrote the ACCA Diploma in IFRS exam and passed well in one siting without attending lectures..

I have friends that ply the online route but I prefer to adopt the fire brigade approach. smiley

@TEECAN,

I'm also ICAN member and i've been searching how to avoid writing exams. I was happy when I saw your post, however on checking CPA Ontario's website, it states that admission criteria for CIMA members include "Have qualified as a professional accountant by completing the entire CIMA program of studies". CIMA website also says that ICAN members with over 5 years of relevant work experience (relevant to CIMA's Practical Experience Requirement) enters directly into the Strategic level case study. A mandatory workshop must be attended before taking the case study exam. which means only the case study exam will be done but its still not the entire CIMA program of study as required by CPA. So please clarify how you plan to convert ICAN to CIMA to CPA.

Thanks.

It's unfortunate sha. However I haven't heard anyone who has received offer letter. Probably MTN wants them to resume next year January which means anything can still happen before the end of the year.

But is it possible for MTN to end the process without communication to interviewees?
If you do not get a response from them max. 1 month, then it means you were not successful.

Thank you for your response.

The bank Job has a nice title of "Regional IT Support" attached to it, which i feel would look good on his CV. I feel he should take it and continue job hunting whilst at it.

Its not like his prospects are any better in his current coy. However in Lagos, there are more career opportunities.
