Deal All,

I am a charetered accountant and has cleared my CISA exam.I moved to canada just one month back. I was in industry while in India.Though I am planning to do CGA and CPA , I started applying for jobs here .But I am not getting even a single response.I am not sure whether it is too early for me to find a job or do I need to find some other way rather than sitting at home and applying for jobs.

Any CA in this forum from Canada? If so can you please give your valuable suggestions as I am clueless.

Thank you very much

Hi, I am a qualified CA & CMA from India and having 6.5 yrs experience. Presently I am working in Muscat Oman as an internal auditor. Now I am planning to move on to Canada. Is it possible to get a job based on the qualification I have or am I supposed to do the local course in Canada.

Please update if any knows. This is a bit urgent.

Thanking You
