Dear Simran,
If CPA is your target, suggest go for a one year post graduate diploma in accounting which will make you CPA eligible.

Hi Lokesh, CPA US makes you a globally demanded Public Accountant. As CA gives you practicing rights within India, a CPA license will give you the right to practice in the US, Canada, NZ and many other countries. CPA US is no doubt the topmost public accountancy qualification in the world. In addition to your CA knowledge you will acquire expertise in about IFRS, GAAP, GAAS, US REGULATION and many contemporary globally acclaimed domains in Accounting. A CPA is an ideal candidate for a Big4 Firm. You can easily switch over to a new job in or outside India once you become a CPA US. Your future career will be much more easy and versatile.

CPA needs a 10+2+4 years of educational qualification and one year of job experience in finance and accounting. Indian B.Com graduates can be eligible to do CPA if they do a one year of post graduate Diploma in accounting. Nowadays many accounting professionals from India are preparing for CPA and writing exams in Dubai. For someone who is ready to study in details and possess good analytical skills CPA US is not so hard an exam to pass within 12 to 18 months of time.

Dear Abhishek,
All the three colleges mentioned are well known. From a strategic point of view, I would prefer Toronto because it is the financial capital of Canada, which means greater access and opportunities. The university is extremely competitive, so apply to the other two as well. Simon Fraser is also a popular university for undergraduates.

Hi Abhishek,
You must decide this yourself. Canada being a finance center of the world, a B.Com and CPA will be more beneficial provided you have the interest and passion for finance, accounts, etc. If you are interested for a finance career then this is the course you should opt.

Similarly, go through the BBA/BCS program and check the curriculum and decide which fi

For CPA, you can pursue it after M.Com. However, it's a short duration course. To get a job, you should finish your study before the age of 30. Good companies either in private or government sector hire the freshers below the age of 30. So, if you can, then pursue a) CMA, b) CFA, c) CPA. You can follow the respective websites for the details such as admission and the procedure.
