My understanding is that that clause isn't applicable to you as you wrote a few ACCA papers and not 100% exemption.

wow... $40 to $50 is cheap for electricity. The last time I paid that out here in the west was back in Calgary, 2014. Standard monthly charge before usage charge of electricity is like $25 bucks here in Sask. Alberta would likely be similar too. Then when family size increases, it goes up too.
while the fraudsters in Nigeria sends you estimated bills of N21,000/month/3 bed-room flat for avg light of 6hrs max/day...sorry to digress..

Nigeria's case is complex, and I sometimes find it hard to wrap my head around it.
Government scams the people and do not spend money on maintenance of aged infrastructure, and when they manage to supply the power sef, you have lots of people who also steal electricity.

Nigeria's budget for power in 2020 is circa $453m for a country with population of close to 200m. This is around the same amount the senators allocate to themselves per year.

A province in Canada with a population of around 1m people would budget and use up around $830m per year on power.

thanks for replying.

I could see on the website when registering for the IELTS, that i have to write the name of institution i want the result sent too, but I haven’t applied to the school yet. (Because I thought IELTS first before applying)


So do i contact the school first, if i dont, will they discard my IELTS results?
I am applying to university of Manitoba canada
I don't really know about the school route. I am sorry.

A country beyond redemption....I don't doubt this electricity bill figure as my sister in the U.S pays around same rates.... If Nigeria had a million refineries, our fuel subsidy will unfortunately increase, if Nigeria has the largest limestone deposit her citizens will still pay the highest price for cement...Nigerian Senators earn more than their counterparts in rich countries...for years, DSTV has been a monopoly, subjecting our citizens to terrible exploitation and no govt official has deemed it fit to change the narrative, provided their palms are constantly greased...Nigeria, a country beyond redemption....

I live in the northwest area as well and didnt get to do any insurance on my tenancy. But I will like to know what your apartment specification are. But normally they only ask you for a month worth of your rent for keeps to tie the lease down and then when you are ready to leave the house the money gets returned if there was no damage to the house..send me a message let's meet up and see
Thanks to all who gave answers to my queries. We got a better quote of 237 today, however had to pay the complete annual fee. @Ronnie1984, would absolutely love to meet up, would send you a pm.

Good day guys

For those that did ACCA - CPA ALBERTA Conversion, please help clarify the requirements below which I found on CPA ALBERTA's website. It says, to qualify under the MRA with ACCA, it must be that:

"You did not receive your ACCA designation by virtue of a third party agreement ACCA has with any other accounting bodies"

How does this apply to exemptions received by virtue of ICAN qualification please?

Thanks in advance for clarification

My understanding of this is that if you did not have to pass any qualifying exams before you could get the designation then you are not qualified. For example, if ICAN and ACCA had an MRA the way CPA has an MRA with ACCA, you would not qualify. But if you had to write a qualifying exam before getting the designation, then you are good to go.

Hello, i have been looking for this clause on CPA ontario's website which says you can't use another international accounting body to convert to CPA if you are already in Canada. Can you assist with this please?
I registered with ACCA in November after short landing in October. I don't know if I will still qualify for conversion. Thanks

[quote author=Blackbuddy post=85649649]

Once you arrive here via PNP, you are a PR holder, same as those with Federal ITA. You are free to relocate from your province with no issues when you become a citizen. To become a Canadian citizen, you must:

be a permanent resident
have lived in Canada for 3 out of the last 5 years
have filed your taxes, and
pass a test on your rights, responsibilities and knowledge of Canada

Some provinces require you to stay for a specific period of time before you can move anywhere-in which case, you would know because you will sign a form to that effect. My friend said she signed something like that for Manitoba PNP, I heard Nova Scotia does the same too(I didn’t verify this)

I know a few Total managers wey their family dey Canada.Lol .Another of my former boss in Total was asking me how far on the matter. Lol Why would dey leave their high paying job to come and start again in Canada..nah.


I always humorously thought

Those imigrating to Canada as permanent residents are like full time staff at Total E&P

Those in Canada on work permit either through direct application or after study are like contract staff with Total E&P

Those on study permit and visas are like interns at Total E&P
