Thanks a lot Mr. Prashant. It was really useful.

I have approached a ICAI chapter in Singapore regarding this via email recently and awaiting a reply from them.

Will doing CPA will be helpful to landing jobs in abroad ike Singapore or Canada?

Can I approach through the big 4 firms? as I already have exepriance there.

Definitely do job in big 4 in your niche area.It'll also help in networking.

There is already much unemployment in Canada.Job prospects are not bright abroad.But I liked CPA Ireland curriculum.But I'm not sure of what specialism is reqd of CAs.

My suggestions:
1)Visit the chapter in Singapore or elsewhere in person so that the turnaround time of replies gets diminished.Prepare a checklist of questions to ask from the CA fraternity so that you get complete guidance.
2)If your specialism area is audit,I would suggest you to go New Zealand.Recently CA chapter is openedin Auckland. That'll be of great help to you.

3) Regarding which course to do.Ask CA chapter over there as they are functional over there.I based in Patna can't say anything for sure.But always remember golden rule: Experience in a specialised role is far better and valued than doing courses.Atleast 5-7 years is valued.
Good luck.
