To get a job successfully depends on many factors, such personal overall qualifications, background, language skills and luck. Generally, a CGA, CMA, CA or even CGA...in process is easy to find a job here. A CPA is welcomed in States. Once you chose accounting this way, you'd better to pursue one of these titles.

The more expertises you have, the less language skills are required. A simple rule: for possition of accounting clerk, there must be many candidates qualified for that. You must have many local competitors. How can you outshine them?

The job opportunity for accounting is ok but salary is too low. I am a CA member plus CPA with 3 year experience in CA firm but salary is only 45k. If you guys hope to earn big money, forget about accounting.

Have you tried Ontario? It seems that a CGA in process would have more chances than those here in Quebec.

Or try to find a job in intermediate level here in Quebec, not a $35,000/yr one or a 10/hr one. Normally, some French is required in Quebec job market.

Job searching is a hard trip. Don't give up. Keep going.

Good luck!

I have passed three CGA exams, but still can not find a job. Normally, a CGA candidate have 35,000/year, but when I apply the big companies, they just say:"Thanks for your interest, we already have better candidates". When I apply the job with 10/hour salary, they say:"You are over qualified, you will work here no more than 6 months"........

So is there any one with the similar background as me finding a job recently? Could you introduce your experience? How much your salary?
