My question is, what can I do after this degree? I am looking to become an accountant.
Can I do MBA after this? Or, can I pursue CA designation after this?
Good question and one we get a lot. If you're interested in finance or accounting related careers, getting a professional designation is definitely a good option. In Canada you have 3 great accounting designations to choose from:
- Certified General Accountant (CGA)
- Chartered Accountant (CA)
- Certified Management Accountant (CMA)
Again, all are good options and provide similar career opportunities for you. Program delivery is a main difference between them. A benefit of the CGA program is that it's done entirely part-time and online which allows you to start working full-time while in the program. Course offering is different as well. You can choose course electives in the CGA program that provides industry focused training (ex.public practice, non-profit, corporate, government)

As a Nippising B.Com grad you'll be eligible for transfer credits which fast-track you in the CGA program.

Take a look at the three and see what best suits your career interests. If you have any questions about careers in accounting let us know or send a PM. Hope this helps.
