Wow!!!

Its been a while i've been here. I can see the ministry is really moving to permanent site.

What gladdens my heart the most is the fact that the PPR script marking has remained.

Thanks to the Nairaland Canadian Family (NCF)... God bless you all.

CPA Ontario also allows it from outside CA. However, there is a requirement to get 2 CPA referees i think.

dasizzling:
Hi Prof, thanks for this detailed explanation, it came in handy as i am about to start mine also. I want to confirm, it seems British columbia is the only province that allows conversion from outside Canada right?

The steps I took to convert my ACCA to CPABC under the MRA with ACCA include the following ( you will also find it on their website):

NB: This specifically applies to CPABC... other provinces may have their own process which differs from this.

1. I wrote to CPABC to declare my intentions to convert using the MRA with ACCA.
2. They replied with an application form which I completed immediately and scanned back to them. This is key because before u commence the process, they would want to assess if u qualify to commence it before giving u a go ahead. They don’t expect u to just start like that.
3. They then gave me a go ahead to commence the process with a mail stating all I should do and the documents to send to them.
4. So I sent a mail to ACCA to send my letter of good standing to CPABC which they did by courier for me free of charge. They also gave me an evidence of dispatch which I attached in a mail and sent to CPABC as an evidence of dispatch.
5. Now the next is ur transcript. CPABC allows u to either send ur university transcripts directly to them for assessment or to use ur Wes assessing body ( course by course assessment- which is different from the usual one we used for the immigration purpose). I went for the earlier because it was cheaper and my school is very responsive. So I processed the delivery of my transcript by my university to CPABC, which they sent and gave me an evidence of delivery. I forwarded the evidence of delivery to CPABC.
6. The next requirement was to do a refresher course from CPA: introduction to canadian tax and law. This one posed the biggest challenge because they wouldn’t allow us pay with our naira cards from naija. Infact on their website they requested for at least an international bank draft. Although I know someone that changed his vpn to another country thus making his naira card acceptable.... I actually took advantage of the fact that I had a friend in Canada. I paid the naira equivalent to his account while he paid he canadian equivalent to CPA. They been granted me access to the module on CPA. I finished it in barely 2 days of a weekend and attached he certificate of completion to the mail which i sent to CPABC. This cost me about 590 CAD
7. Pls bear in mind that the evidences of delivery and completion of the refresher course were all attached in the same mail which I sent after I had completed all the activities from point 4 -6 above. So I awaited their response.
8 They then responded after a few weeks asking me to send them 2 means of Identification out of a list of 3 ( with at least one having my picture showing clearly on it) notarized by a lawyer, etc. This posed another slight challenge to me because all my national means of ID did not have clear pictures. Well I still sent through courier my notarized drivers license and international passport. This cost me about 20+k for courier.
9. When it got to them, they were not convinced because of the unclear picture... so they replied and asked me to send another means of ID and attach a passport picture. This time around not via courier but through mail. I then sent them my Lagos state registration, National ID slip(which is still in paper form), tax clearance card etc because they all had my pictures. And attached a scanned copy of my passport photograph to them.
10. Then they responded and informed me that I would hear from them in May 1 as that was their induction date. I got a mail on may1 that I had been conditionally inducted and I would need to pay my one time induction fee + subscription fee which summed up about 1,200+ cad before I would be deemed a full member. A deadline was given to me to pay within otherwise the conditional membership would be revoked.
11. I paid the same week and in no time started getting mails from CPABC. I also went to their website to check the list of members and saw my name there. So that settled the process and I included it in my resume.
12. Some weeks after, then sent me a mail via courier confirming my admission into membership with a CPA lapel in the envelope.
13. I intend to transfer my file from CPA BC to CPA Ontario when I land.

Ps: From point 1 - 6.... the average response time was about 3 to 4 weeks average. And point 7 upwards was in days. I guess from point 7 they had now deemed me serious about the process.

Good luck.

If u require further clarification, u can reach out to me.

Thanks

my final thoughts, keep busy while waiting. Don't put your life on hold, keep moving. I have changed jobs and moved cities in the course of this process, I know it is easier said than done for most people. Also be straight forward, keep your application simple. This thread is a goldmine and I tell people that if I direct them to this thread to DIY and they still require my assistance, they will have to pay for such services. This remains one of the most straight forward immigrant processes i have seen so far.

Hi guys,

I trust you are doing well.

As you all know our tradition is to grade PPR scripts as a means of encouraging our PPR clinchers to share very robust PPR scripts. I have consistently worked with @ladymarshall to grade all PPR scripts except those skipped by error.

However, I will be handing over the responsibility to her completely going forward, as I cannot keep up with the pace and speed of this thread anymore.

So you have it... Our able English marshal.... the new Prof cheesy
