Accounting Majors in Canada:
This is the default route to become CPA in Canada. If qualified, you will be admitted to the CPA Professional Education Program (CPA PEP).Here is the prerequisite for CPA PEP:
Complete a Bachelor degree in relevant concentration, e.g. B.Comm with an accounting major
Complete the prerequisite learning defined in The CPA Competency Map
Complete at least 120 credit hours or equivalent of education. Others
Those who are not qualified for CPA PEP will get into the CPA Prerequisite Education Program (CPA PREP). This may include non-accounting majors and international candidates.
This is a bridging program developed on a nationally basis to help students make up for the missing accounting courses. The courses are offered part-time, through distance learning or in classroom setting. So, as international student it will be difficult to get admission as these courses are part time. You can take admission in of diploma in accounting. There are few college/ universities which you can look for. And will cover a few of the required courses as well and done by side while you are in Canada. You can enrol for pre-CPA if you wish too. But completing it after formal first education in Canada and then going in for pre CPA. It would be far more suitable and advisable.
Please let me know in case you wish get a few options shortlisted for you.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks.

CMAs- Get Paid More:
Lets face it, we want to learn, but ultimately we need the certification to get better-paid jobs. According to a comprehensive study by IMA, CMA certification holders earn 1/3 more than their non-certified counterparts.
For Many, CMA Skills are More Practical
Various industry journals have indicated that 80% of accountants end up in non-public accounting. The management accounting knowledge and skill is in fact more useful for these professionals. In fact, many dual CPA and CMA holders find the materials covered in CMA more interesting and practical in their daily work.IMA Makes it Easy for Us
Unlike the CPA exam in which getting qualified is sometimes harder than passing the exam itself, IMA (the CMA exam administrator) make things clear, simple and organized for applicants. IMA openly welcomes international candidates with the exam offered in hundreds of locations worldwide.
Dont get me wrong it is easier not because of a low barrier of entry, because candidates are still required to have a Bachelor degree, a rigorous exam and 2 continuous years of management accounting experience to get certified.
But IMA makes the process of becoming a CMA as smooth as possible. Candidates can focus on passing the exam and fulfilling the experience, instead of getting stuck with the bureaucracy and conflicting rules from different State Boards.
