ohhh you are so inspirational!! congratulations. I'm starting my journey to become CPA and I will for sure be checking out your videos
Glad to have inspired you Laura! Best of luck in your CPA journey!
your strength is you're very honest with yourself and your weaknesses
Thanks Phil, appreciate it!
This is heart warming and inspirational. I’m still in my journey of obtaining my CPA and I can feel the struggles you went through. I’m glad you’ve overcome your challenges and didn’t give up. You deserve every bit of success and happiness.
Thank you Aaron!! It was so tough but I'm so glad I went through it and got my CPA! I can now say I have no regrets and I tried my best :) All the best in your CPA journey!!
How many years minimum it takes ?
You got an *A* in Advanced Taxation, that is no joke! It's one of the most difficult accounting courses along with advanced financial accounting, which is basically goodwill on stereoids.
Thank you! Definitely one of the highlights in my accounting career! 😉
Good for you, man! You are an inspiration. Keep going and believe in yourself. Wish you all the best.🙌🏼
Obviously CPA exam has been a pain in my ass, but that won't bother me any longer I have gotten my license already thanks to you Mr Marcus God bless you more cuz you made it possible for me
CPA exam is really difficult and frustrating, i can't believe I failed again after studying so hard
You will pass everyone has their own season, just keep going pray and believe you will receive yours Mr Marcus like everyone has been saying he can be off help
Am sorry for that some people also passed through the difficulties just be patient and keep studying
I'm really sorry about that but I got used to it until I succeeded, I failed 5 times before I finally passed, It would have been 6 but Marcus saved me from failing again
I saw someone say he is not trustworthy i couldn't stop laughing, really people say a lot of shit these days
Thanks for sharing.
I've had challenges and failures. Your persistence obviously paid off. I will get up dust myself up and continue to persevere.
Keep you going Jen! Keep persevering!
Kudos to your hard work and never ending perseverance. The key is always to never give up on your dreams✨✨
Wow what a roller coaster! I'm gonna be finishing my post secondary educ soon and i'm soo nervous when it comes to taking CFE as like you, I am not confident with my accounting skills as I mostly learned everything online. I also feel the pressure among my peers as most of them have finished accounting degrees back in their countries... This video is really inspiring! Thank you so much~ and congratulations!
Best of luck, you can definitely do it! I'm confident in your abilities!!
Wow! Congratulations on passing your CPA exams. Love your honesty and happy you made this video
Congratulations! I'm starting my journey to CPA designation and I hope to achieve this goal. I can see hard time coming soon...😅
Hard but so worth it afterwards Thiago! Boa sorte! 💪
I went to Haskayne for my undergrad and I’m struggling through the CPA really hard so far. I also was not a great accountant either. I’m in Capstone 1 at a Big 4 and I’m dying. This gave me some much needed encouragement.
Fellow Haskayne Alumni! Hey there, you're so close to finishing it. Give it all you got, use my tips and and best of luck!! If I can do it, so can you!
@@careerbyheywood thank you!
Fellow Haskayne graduate here with accounting (in my 30s); never worked in accounting but instead worked in corporate sales after graduating for many years. Now at a point in my life where I am considering switching careers and going for that CPA.. your vid has given me some motivation and direction
Hi Sam! Great to see a fellow Haskayne graduate on here. If you can see yourself enjoying accounting type jobs and doing it for the long term then it might be worth considering!
Saw your list of failures man and kudos to you for persevering. I'm blessed to not have similar experiences. But at the end of the day, these adversities have moulded you to become a better person, no? I used to work at a shitty bowling alley that didn't care for me but it helped me in my social/communication skills tremendously. Now I take pride in those struggles because it helped set my professional foundation and I'm halfway through my CPA modules. What I take away from your video is that I need to take my preparation for the CFE very seriously because so far I've been half-assing it.
Thats the spirit! Every uncomfortable experience/adversity actually builds you up and makes you stronger. Having said that, make sure to focus and study properly for the CFE. You can only write it 1-2 times a year. Time is your biggest asset.
I'm really inspired by your story. I'm also pursuing CPA, finishing up my transfer credits. However my grades are terrible at the moment and I have an intense feeling of imposter syndrome. But seeing how you overcame your struggle, I am assured that I don't have to be the greatest, just be the best version of myself. Congratulations on the rest of your journey.
You got this! best of luck, I had imposter syndrome the entire time... and then I got my CPA and realized I could do it.. and so can you :)
Cpa is rigorous fight with first the designation itself and then yourself! Congo dude
Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I like the fact that your videos are so relatable!!
Your welcome David :) just want to be as transparent as possible
I find your video very inspiring as I'm also pursuing CPA. Thank you for sharing your experience and I wish you the best in your career path.
Congratulations for this sincere video. Amazing!!
You are very inspirational! You can accomplish anything you want with this attitude : )
Thanks Sienna!

Very inspiring brother! I’m writing the CFE in a few weeks
Best of luck brotha!

Amazing!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing it
Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Your welcome!
Really inspiring brother.
I am also planning to go for CPA. Can we have a zoom meet for a few minutes as it will be great interacting with and learning from you.
Congratulations 🎉
OMG, I can definitely relate with you. Just curious as to why you decided to pursue the CPA if it wasn't your strongest interest. I'm battling with that as well and need to talk to people in the same boat. Thanks
Cause you just want to make money and dont have passion for anything else
Hey! Could you share how you networked with so many recruiters? I have been trying to get in touch with many recruiter managers via LinkedIn, but I am facing trouble getting any responses.
We hired an Internationally trained accountant, South Asian. Super Intelligent person. No CPA.
and I think we dont even need one
Very insiprational, we want updates
It’s a beautiful journey.
You know what I am currently struggling with not able to meet the 60% requirement in one of the pre requisite courses for CPA via a post secondary institution. I am planning to complete the requirement in fall 2022. Also, I will be joining one of the big 4’s this fall. Do you think I can join the firm, continue my experience and complete the cpa prerequisite requirement side by side or they won’t allow that?
I done my master in mathematics and now i want to clear cpa exam . How can i start my journey please suggest me.
Hi, so I am not a accounting major, but I will be finishing a accounting deploma degree at a random university, it basically covers all the prep courses, I am just wondering if that is enough for me to get a job that meets the practical experience requirement? I am also thinking to pass CFA level 1 next year. I am just wondering if that would be helpful or not? I am ok with the studies and exams, but I am just a bit worried about work experience part as many factors might be involved, and I am not major in business related. Also, I am not good at socializing. Really hope to get some advises, like if you could restart something again, what would you do? Sorry for the long paragraph, thank you so much! : )
Hello,
I’m asking for my son. He is now 11 grade student, so it is better to go to University not take courses?
For example, in BC there is
accounting diploma (2 years), full time.
hey am an ACCA student and want to pursue CPA after completing my ACCA. Will i get any exemptions on my acca basis or I have to start from the scratch? can you plz guide me.
Sir, did a cpa paid well in canada ,and can they practice and start a firm independently
True inspiration

앗ㅋ 제목은 한글,내용은 영어로 하시네요ㅎㅎ 중간고사 1주일 남기고 동기부여받고 싶어서 우연히 보게 되었습니다.저는 작년 9월에 회계 비전공자들이 PEP과정 들어가기 위해 선수과목 듣는 과정 공부 중이에요.
학교가 나름 이름이 있어서인지 과제도 많고 진도도 엄청 빨라요ㅜㅜ
파트타임 안하고 3과목 집중하는데
잘 하고 있는지 모르겠어요 ㅜ.ㅜ
첫학기 평균 71점 나왔는데 이번학기 70점대도 안나올까봐 엄청 스트레스 받아요ㅜㅜ
아이엘츠 6.5겨우 넘기고 회계 공부도 거의 처음이거든요.주변 한국인들보면 국내파라도 회계 공부 많이 하시거나 아님 회계 처음하셔도 영어권 나라 거주 경험 길구요.
제가 제일 악조건인데 실패극복기 스토리보고 용기 얻어갑니다.
나는 당신을 믿습니다. 할 수 있어요!
Good for you ❤️
So why did you decide to pursue your CPA if you weren't that good of an accountant and didn't really enjoy your accounting jobs to begin with? Are you still an accountant of have you used your designation to change your career path? Not trying to be rude or anything, I'm seriously curious.
Great question.
I was in my early 20s and having not had much work experience and confidence in myself, I valued a "secure and clear career path" which is what accounting offered.
After I got my CPA, I realized I was wasting my time in accounting and transitioned to being a recruiter for accountants, which I enjoy much more.
@@careerbyheywood thanks for the response. Glad you've found something you enjoy!
Congrats on your CPA! Is it possible to work full-time and study for the CPA in a yr? While studying everyday...let's say 5hrs per day after work?
I’m planning on stating my CPA journey,I have a BSC in accounting from Nigeria,I’m currently checking out for schools in Ontario offering CPA related programs while I’m also doing my masters in accounting.but the fees are on the high side😢
Best of luck!
I just graduated from high school with really bad grades and courses what should I do?

Which city is the best? and Which college is the best? and what should I pursue First...bcom?plzz tell me everything in detail.. THE COMPLETE PROCESS.... After bcom what should i do plzz don't skip anything..becuase no one youtuber told us in detail.
Wow never give up😀
Hello there ,congratulation on your completion of cpa wish you all the best.what advice would you give a busy mum new in canada trying to do cpa? Is there a time frame to complete the cpa.thank you
It varies from province to province, but generally you have 6 years to finish the cpa program which is more than enough time. As you are a new mum I encourage you to do it as fast as possible taking in to account your mum duties
For Ontario, Canada:
www.cpaontario.ca/students/regulations-guidance/student-deadlines
Thank you so much for your kind advice and taking time to reply May you stay blessed .am in toronto so yea I will first read more before I commit myself.
First time getting job in accounting is hard or easy and how many work experience we should have to give cpa exam plz tell me
Please, how long is the Cpa study in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada? Knowing that I am an accountant
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I’m accountant in Brazil and I’ll do the Business Accounting course in Humber College next year. So after finish this diploma course, will I need to do the pep for CPA?
Thanks in advance
You'll want to determine if you have all the pre-req courses from Humber College to enroll in to the CPA PEP program. This is something to perhaps ask your academic admin staff at Humber.
How much time is required after completing graduation to become CPa
30 months of practical work experience + finishing all your exams
Is it too expensive to take these courses??? Can we take a study loan or something?
If I graduated in the Philippines, am I still eligible to take the licensure exam in Canada? Thanks.
Yes, but you may have to take CPA PREP courses (equivalent to undergrad accting courses) if your accounting courses in Philippines don't transfer over, to get in to the CPA PEP program and take the licensure exam.
Hi ,i m currently at the 3rd year of BCOM not in canada (in algeria) , so if i do a transfer to canada, will i restart from the begening or continue with the same year.
Thank you so much for replying 😁
You will probably have to assess your courses with the school admissions and see what courses you can transfer over from Algeria to Canada, good luck!
Please, how long is the Cpa study period in Canada?
www.cpacanada.ca/
just go to their website
Hello sir may i know how much time did it took u to become a cpa after your bachelors?
I heard that cpa is a part tym 2 year course. So can we start this course just after our bachelor's?and what about those 30 months, do we need to work at certain level for 30 months? Or we just need to be in any of accounting jobs?
Usually you need the prequisite accounting courses from University to start the PEP program which will take around 2 years. Then you will also have to get 30 months of practical accounting experience. It took me around 4 years to get mines.
How many years it took u to become CPa ceritifed? I am an engineer. If i start from scratch how long it will take ?
You will have to take CPA PREP, and then take CPA PEP and get the practical experience (around 4-5 years)
Will soon start the PEP portion of the CPA, not sure if I can make it
But you CAN make it.
how old were you when you got your cpa? I am hesitating if i should get my cpa coz of my age. I am 24 years old and just starting my degree in accounting. Btw I am from calgary.
I got it when I was 26. Age should not stop you, especially you are still young. I meet 40-50 year olds pursuing their CPA
Interesting video! Can you tell about ACCA in Canada?
I haven't gone through the ACCA, but please note that the existing mutual recognition agreement (MRA) between ACCA and CPA Canada expired on April 30, 2021.
Individuals who did not meet the April 30, 2021 deadline still have a pathway to membership in CPA Ontario (check check online for the requirements!)
@@careerbyheywood wow! That's an eye-opening information. I didn't know that, thanks a bunch👍
Were you an international student?
When getting hour requirements or experience would you reccomend a small firm or big one?
Experience go small.
Great video! I'm an accountant in my country. Do you recommend me to get a diploma in Canada to have some Canadian degree?
Are you planning on coming to Canada for work/life?
If you are already designated accountant in your own country, there may be a mutual agreement between your country and Canada so you can transition your CPA. If not, then you can take courses towards getting your CPA.
Congrats
i am working in a private firm and currently having so much issue getting the experience required for pert.. any recommendations on how I can get the experience ?
If you can't get your experience at the private firm, it may be time to start looking for another job where you can get your PERT requirements.
Great story, very inspiring
Glad you enjoyed it!
Where to find cpa prep study material PDF???
See the description of the video for the link.
Then what happened after getting your CPA degree???
I changed my career :)
@@careerbyheywood hey.. I'm aspiring for CPA. Is it possible that I can talk to you on some other platforms ? Will really appreciate. If you could make some time.
Hi. Im interested to know more about your story. I can't see your instagram now. So, I just saw you changed your career?
Why did you move from calgary, was there any problem to find a job here?
I moved because I wasn't that interested in oil and gas, which was the dominant industry in Calgary and wanted to try something new.
I am currently an unergrad in haskayne and I was wondering if the job you mentioned during your 3rd year is the same as the co-op program or is it outside of school?
Hi Janaalissa,
Yes, the job I got in my 3rd year of university was from the co-op program. Being part of the co-op program gives you access to more roles, specifically for students in the program.
However, you can still find an internship/work term without getting in to the program.
my son studying in 12th commerce in India want to become cpa in Canada want to do degree in accounting and finance Canada to become CPA how can I give both pls guide which province's is better and how he become cpa how its cost in Canada
1. Accounting and Finance degrees are separate. It will take at least 3 yrs to get your accounting degree starting from scratch. Finance is similar.
2. There are more employment opportunities in the densely populated cities in Canada, like Vancouver and Toronto.
3. Cost per term/semester for small colleges: 3-4k (3-5 months per term). Cost per term for big colleges/universities: 10-21k
Cost per term for international students at small colleges: 10-15k per term.
Hope that answers your questions. For best reference, look up the post secondary of interest for your son. All the info he needs will be there.
Great response Tater - appreciate this CZcams community helping each other out! Thank you
how old were you when you got your CPA?
*26*
Is there any age limit to pursue CPA
No age limit.
Hi I want to do cpa Canada ...
If that's what you really want, and you're willing to put the work in than go for it!
I always wonder about the income of a CPA ..how much a person can make annually after becoming a CPA ?
There's a lot of factors that have to be consider in addition to your CPA, including your experience, location, what industry you are in, and what type of responsibilities you have. So there's no fixed answer, unless you can pinpoint a specific type of position
how old were you when you finally got the cpa?
26
@@careerbyheywood still pretty young, congrats
