I think you should abort mission if your plan is to obtain CPA using the CIMA. You should check the requirement for obtaining CPA with CIMA designation, or better, send an email to CPA to clarify.

Why do you think I shouldn't convert from CIMA? There's a provision for that on their website and already sent an email, still waiting for a response though.

Point 2 : Most jobs in Canada do not require an MSC so please loose the MSC and put ur BSC



to be continued............

Great piece there, but I will disagree slightly with the quoted.

If by any means you can pursue a Masters degree on arrival, please kindly do. There are range of reputable companies that recruits and demands for the most recent transcripts that you have to influencing considerations for entry level jobs and junior role jobs. Did I also miss to tell you that you also have the opportunity of pursuing a co-op Maters that can grant you the needed leg in the door? You also can be hired or make necessary industrial contacts via your research(if research masters) or through career fairs targeted at students and colleges. Finally, there is this unofficial sentiments for Canadian graduates.

A person with a MSc will automatically be better placed in comparison with a BSc holder when every other boxes are equally ticked.

I do agree that most jobs gives a baseline qualification for BSc. but if you were an an employer, will you not rather employ a MSc. holder for same cost and while considering the added value in the long run?

Indeed many factors plays out, Having an added degree is a coloured feather.

You can't use CIMA gotten through MRA or RMA to convert to CPA.. it's stated there on the website that you must have sat and passed the whole CIMA papers.

Anyway, since you've mailed them, they'll give you the response...cheers

Me that has seen -21°?
18° is a huge blessing! My son and I are at the playground in shorts. So yes 18° is warm for me by all standards. The highest we had in months. You'll be fine. Don't worry. I am not sure you hate cold more than me.

Yeah, we'll be fine las las..

It's 16 here and I'm like, it's so nice outside! Note that I'm also a supposed 'coldiphobic'

I guess our body adjusts to the environment upon landing...

At the bolded, it may happen in naija but here you may be seen as a flight risk. They will feel you won't be happy because you are being paid less than you are worth and will leave the moment you get what you want.

That's why in some cases you find out you will need to have a survival cv for a survival job.

I know of someone who had to reduce years of experience to get a role with IBM.

I don't think he is trying to say Masters is useless..but more like targeting your resume. If a position asks for 4 years experience, saying you have 15 years may not work in your favour.

Modified: As someone has earlier said that his company will spend over 20,000 dollars to train him. In these days of Data Analysis and Lean six sigma, companies don't just view recruitment as "hit and miss", they look at it as an investment. They look at the cost in placing adverts (that's why they take refferals serious as it saves them that cost), they look at the man hours to review cv and conduct interviews, then look at the cost to train you. Most companies estimate that the first three months you are not working to your full potential, so that's a loss they are willing to take knowing you will add value later.

So going with this scenario, the company would have spent close to 30,000 or more to recruit this person. Now if the person leaves after three months, that's all money down the drain. Also the HR personnel looks bad for costing them money and not doing his/her job.

This is why here, a well targeted cv cannot be overemphasized. It could be reducing your experience, or even inflating it.

I also know someone that made the switch to project management, claimed 7 years project experience and is doing well.

The goal is to appear to be the best candidate for the role..but please, limit it to what you can defend or quickly learn.

True. I don't think writing one paper in CIMA will earn you a CPA conversion. Kindly seek for clarification from CPA.

Soooo I ran to register for the online Pre-arrival Food Safety Management Program recommended by lots of our landed Seniors here especially for those in the food and beverage industry, but discovered it ain't free anymore...subsidized at $299

Please for those that paid the optional $99 for the Job Placement Service, is/was it worth it? Is the Job Placement opportunity available few weeks to months after you land to gain canadian work experience? If yes, were you paid during the placement?

House, please help a sister. Thanks in advance

Good morning Fam,
Anybody here leaving at or heading to Burnaby BC, or studying at Simon Fraser University? Please, I need to make some enquiries. Help a friend!

Iyamefa:


Thanks titiclassy! As AZeD1 said, don’t indicate in your invitation letter that your MIL is coming to help watch your baby, you can say she’s coming to visit. There’s no ‘guide’ to how much money is required to be in your account. Just ensure it’s enough to actually cover her expenses for the period she would be with you. She should include her statement of account as well.
If she doesn’t work or trade, you can attach a C of O of a house/landed property in her name to show ties. If she was working and is now retired, there are portions to indicate what she did before retirement, if possible also attach any doc pertaining to her retirement.
Anyone else with other ideas can chip in

@Iyamefa there is no C of O in her name, the house she stays is in her child's name. She also does not have any account running. Please I need your advise on how to go about this. She was a trader before she retired. No documentation whatsoever.

Newmum0615:
Winter has been over for a while. We are in spring. It's still cold in most parts but no snow. It's particularly warm today though where I stay. 18°. I am putting on shorts for the first time in a while.

Hi, IT is a very broad field. What part of IT interests you?

Upton:

This is true. Please how do you reduce your years of experience or take out an an education such as a Masters degree from your resume without creating a gap in your resume? I've been worried about how to do this. Also, won't the recruiter check out your linkedin profile? Please help!!

Yes, they will check. You can create another linkedin profile. If you chose to keep your old one, remove your picture and you can just leave your initials.

As per gaps... In my case graduated 2006. Modified cv starts from 2015. I did not put any gaps in between relevant experience. If they asked i would have told them I worked in a different sector and as this is my chosen field I did not bother to include it..but they did not.

I see other people have responded. The requirement to convert from CIMA is to have sat and passed ALL CIMA papers. I doubt that writing only one would make you qualify. Nonetheless, the response from CPA would be most authentic, so see what they say when they respond.

This was the same case with my MIL. I just said i will be responsible for all expenses. In the question mark on the form, they will accept a letter from you in lieu of all that. So we did not put any C of O, work records or account balance for her.

I included my bank statement in the application. The process took about a month and she just recently returned back to Naija.

It's a lot easier for parents to get visa than siblings.

Hi guys Ceemac, Ifeoma77, AdetonaDami I am sorry I haven't been able to update the post, I would try to do that today and respond to your questions. I have been busy with work and easter rehearsals too has made me have little time to write.
@flyboi1 please send me your whatsap details on ayonaira2@zoho.com I will contact you.

Oh ok. So I'm guessing you didn't include your education at all since you graduated in 2006. Am I right?

I put my education. On my cv, education comes last. Profile summary, skills, work experience, education. So it's work experience that starts from 2015.
