After landing last July 30, we never really intended to pursue any accounting designation. We figured that we don't have the funds and it is very time consuming. However, things changed after a few weeks. The more we meet people, the more interested we were in getting an accounting designation. Now the question is, what designation should we pursue? We looked over the internet on the post and cons on each designation and ultimately, we chose the CGA (Certified General Accountant). Why CGA you ask? Listed below are the reasons:
1. We were able to get a free CGA Assessment from an organization. (More on that organization in future post).
2. The same organization that offered the free assessment will also subsidize part of our first enrollment fee.
3. I really liked the balance of their program.
4. They have an ongoing raffle for a 2,500 scholarship.
5. I got a lot of exceptions.
Okay, the last two items really sealed the deal. =)
Hi! Just like you, I'm looking at pursuing my CGA designation here in Toronto. I'm wondering if you can refer me to the organization that offers the free CGA assessment. Any tips or insights are greatly appreciated as well. Thank you in advance and cheers to your Canadian and CGA journey!
