chartered accountant after immigration (exemptions, offices, best)

[cpail]

Hi,

I have decided to pursue Canadian Chartered Accountant degree. I am an Indian Chartered Accountant and a CPA (USA).
My question is do I need to hold a PR or a student visa to start my training period at Approved Training offices in Canada and which province is the better one. Better in the sense of getting job opportunities and livable with family in the long run. How do I go about it?..Whom to ask and where to apply...
Since my husband (s/w engrr.) is applying a PR, meanwhile is there any way I can start my CA in Canada or any accounting course which will help me in getting exemptions for the same.
Is someone in the same situation as me?...

Thanks in advance.

Questions about visas are best answered by the government agency in charge of issuing them: Citizenship and Immigration Canada.

If you are currently located in Canada, you can contact them on their 1-800 number. Otherwise, contact the appropriate Canadian emabassy or immigration center.
