salford1:Sorry to butt into this conversation. Calgary is my ultimate destination (even though I don't have ITA yet). What would you say about the cost of renting a 1 bedroom in a midleclass apartment in Calgary? In your view, which quadrants of Calgary are cost-efficient for new immigrants? I hope I am not repeating a question that's been answered previously. Thanks. |

Thanks. British Columbia... I converted from ACCA. I started the entire process in mid November. That was when i first messaged them declaring my interest to apply. I got the membership on May 1 and had to pay pro-rated subscription + membership application fees to complete the process. Cost me over a thousand CAD. If you don't pay the amount within 30 days... the process would be restarted and all efforts lost. Orange1234: 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Orange1234: 4:19pm On May 06, 2019 |
wow, God is indeed awesome.It took about 5 months or so. Since it takes a while for the conversion process to CPA, Is ACCA recognised by employers in that you can get a non-entry accounting/ finance position in your region while waiting for CPA? I'm just wondering since i'm an ACCA myself. Any thoughts would be appreciated. raphrulz: |

Hi, Congratulations on your achievement. Are you saying you didn't have to write any paper after applying with your ACCA? raphrulz: |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by salford1: 5:13pm On May 06, 2019 |
jjohndoe83: For a descent one bed apartment, I would suggest that you budget around $1100 plus utilities. Difference between 2 bed and 1 bed apartments are not usually much. Maybe 100 to 150 dollars different per month. For new immigrants, the most cost efficient is the North East. 4 Likes 6 Shares |

Suspect33: As a marketer or what? |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by Suspect33(m): 6:14pm On May 06, 2019 |
AZeD1:like how easy is it to get a job in that field |
Re: Living In Canada/Life As A Canadian Immigrant Part 2 by AZeD1(m): 7:10pm On May 06, 2019 |
Suspect33:This is totally subjective and location dependent. Some marketers would get a marketing job before they land while it might take another marketer months. 1 Like |

Wow!!! Thats scary. Someone mentioned though that after i get the PR card, it might be possible to claim back the hospital fees. What do you think? (quote author=canadaman18 post=78157326] There is no way around this unfortunately[/quote] |

My best advice to you (which one of my friends is adopting), try and land in a province that medical healthcare starts from day 1, say Calgary, then you can subsequently move to another province. If it's Ontario, my dear, nothing like healthcare in the first 3 months. Cheers** Newbeecey: 4 Likes 3 Shares |

No paper. However, you will do a refresher course (course on Canadian law and tax). All these cost money oooo... POF go juz dey reduce anyhow. It's well. Hollarmighty: 4 Likes |

Well, impossible is nothing. People with ACCA get jobs (whether entry or experienced roles) in CA. At least i have heard of a couple of them. But i can say for certain that your chances are better increased when you have your CPA. That's why most accountants over there work towards achieving it. You can also do other North American based exams like CFA, CRMA, CFE, CIA etc. to increase your chances further, depending on your chosen accounting field. Orange1234: 2 Likes 2 Shares |

raphrulz: You have to live in Alberta a certain number of days to qualify for healthcare. If it's found out that you moved out before the said number of days you would be asked to refund whatever expense you accrued. |
