When i get my accounting degree in the UK can i use it to emigrate to Canada and train there to get chartered?
Or would i have to become chartered here and then emmigrate and retrain to learn their laws etc? Are accountants in demand in Canada? Also should add i am learning French and hope to do a placement year in France to become fluent.

Answer 1 :
Quebec speaks French. Why not try Canada first. Do the research on whether you would need to retrain or not.
Answer 2 :
It is easier to emigrate from France to Ontario and excellent French is never ignored by French-Canadians. Otherwise, put paid to any better expectations.
Answer 3 :
The Canadian equivalent of the Chartered Association of Accountants would obviously be the ones with the definitive answers. I am sure they have a website. Learning another language is always a good idea, especially if you intend going to the French region of Canada. Are accountants in demand in canada? a good accountant is in demand anywhere. I wish you every success.
Answer 4 :
jk
Answer 5 :

How to become an Accountant without taking a degree?
How to become an Accountant without taking a degree?
Hi, I would like to train to become an Accountant due to the career prospects and the rewarding salary. I am currently 22 yrs old and have 9 GCSE'S and 3 A'levels. All C's and above. Also I have certificate of higher education for completing a year at university. I was not very proficient at maths but I am currently taking a course to improve myself, which is going very well. Ideally I do not want to go back to University again as after my first experience I feel they are a waste of time and money. So my question is, how can I become a top Accountant without studying at University? I am a very dedicated person when I put my mind to it and this is something that I know I can excel and progress at. How long can the training take and which routes do I need to go down? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. David What sort of costs for the courses can I expect?

Answer 1 :
The best route to go is the ACCA. You can study at night while working. There are 14 exams in total and most people do 2 per exam sitting and there are 2 sittings per year (June and December). This means you would take about 3-4 years of night classes to finish but in order to qualify you need 3 years work signed off by an accountant so it is fine. I followed this route and I have 1 exam left. It took me 5 years to get to here because I work long hours so I could only do 1 exam in most sittings but if you are prepared to work hard and study at night this is the way for you to go. Go onto their website and have a look. Most colleges to night classes of the ACCA and it is the best qualification for an accountant without doubt
Answer 2 :
Try to get a job at a company that will 'sponsor' you to do this ... otherwise it WILL be expensive ... (Google ACCA correspondence courses) PS be aware that with graduate unemployment rates what they are today, you will find it VERY HARD to get a job with a suitable company without a Degree - most major / international companies offer 'Graduate Training Schemes' that will be closed to you - you will have to focus on the smaller companies that do not offer such structured schemes - and this is where the 'contacts' you could make at University would help ..)
Answer 3 :
Have you considered doing the AAT course? Some people I know chose not to go to university but completed the AAT and went on to do CIMA / ACCA. I would look at the course providers such as Kaplan and go through recruitment agencies, see if they know of any companies that will sponsor you! Good luck!

Answer 1 :
You have to take courses and get certified, sorry. Accounting is not a subject that one can really teach oneself. You need feedback on how well you understand the concepts, i.e. you need to take tests and see where and if you are going wrong. -------------- I actually never got a degree in Accounting, but I have taken many, many classes in it and I understand the concepts in the field. I've been working in the field for 20+ years now. I do bookkeeping for small businesses from my home at $50 USD per hour. There has never been a problem with the books I produce. (I can do it in my sleep basically). But every once in awhile, I come across a 'stumper' transaction. Luckily, I know a CPA who always can give me the correct way to enter the transaction.

Am I the only one sick and tired with security lies?
Am I the only one sick and tired with security lies?
I just heard on the BBC that the new scanners in airports will be used on everyone. They will be used "by highly trained professionals". So which kind of professionals? Doctors, lawyers, accountants, teachers? Why do they keep telling lies? Airport security is important to me. Until they start serious profiling and ditch political correctness, we are all at risk.

Answer 1 :
Translation of "highly trained individuals" is immigrants paid the minimum wage!
Answer 2 :
I hate the new scanners, I think its pretty sick that for example teenage girls are going to have to go through them and basically be seen naked by those "professional" men. I agree that they have crossed the line between security and invasion of privacy.
Answer 3 :
No you're not. Now we've all got to be seen naked before we can go on holiday. Sorry but I don't want my wife being gawped at by some ape in a uniform. Apparently one of these devices things wouldn't have prevented the last incident anyway, and what ever they can do, the bombers will find a way of defeating it. We've just lost another civil liberty in the name of 'security' – another own goal to the terrorists whose aim is to disrupt our daily lives. The only winner here is the companies who are set to make millions out of them. Apparently it's illegal under human rights laws – so why are they doing it?
Answer 4 :
Probably not.
Answer 5 :
I'm not particularly bothered myself. It will undoubtedly be the highlight of anyone's working day to see an approximated unclothed image of me. My line of work means I occasionally have to strip search people, which is by no means pleasant for the person concerned but if you think I get up in the morning looking forward to the possibility of having to do a strip search you've got another thing coming. I imagine it will be an identical situation for the people that view the scanner images and having to do it day in day out looking at hundreds maybe thousands of images, you forget you are looking at an image of a person and are just viewing the screen for a matter of seconds for the presence of security risk items.
Answer 6 :
Blame the terrorists who want to blow up airplanes. Profiling does not guarantee every single terrorist is caught, and terrorists can trick innocent people into carrying on explosives for them. The bad guys only need to succeed once to create worldwide havoc, and we need to succeed in every single security check.
Answer 7 :
I agree with ditching the politcal correctness, but not with the profiling... its assuming that everyone of a 'type' is going to be a 'bad guy' which is total bunk. My poor dad gets hassled occasionally because he's a naturalized citizen of Canada, born in China, and looks middle eastern (he's russian). Its not his fault, and he doesn't deserve to get the bad treatment every time he crosses a border... i mean, the guy amuses himself with puttering in the garden and planning cruises. What danger is he? As for the scanners, i'd imagine that they get pretty bored with seeing everyone's underside. While i don't want someone else looking at me unclothed, i'm viewing it with the same annoyance as some of the necessary but annoying physician visits. My doctor has probably seen tens of thousands of women's breasts in a clinical setting and mine, although its kind of strange for me, are just another pair... no more titillating or exciting that the other 9,999 pairs.
