A degree does not matter since anybody can get a degree.  It's the amount of rigor and caliber involved that distinguishes one from the other.

Sounds cheap? I think the general impression is that it's only for those who are not good enough to get CA.

HAHAH you just pissed of all CGA's here =D  

BTW.. CGA does require bachelor degree.  After CGA, you can get the HK ACCA destination by taking 1 or 2 more courses and a MC exam.

CPA is the easiest to get.... but it's totally no use in Canada.

They've a form with a couple pages of work experience required. Make sure u've it all. You need a sponsor (any CPA in US) to sign it for you.

"CPA is the easiest to get.... but it's totally no use in Canada."

which one is the easiest, hard to say.  because cpa needs you to write 4 exams in two days and the min passing mark is 75%.  cga just need you to complete all courses.  so just depends on do you want to takes # of small exams, or just four big ones.  i will say cpa is more difficult, because you need to remember so much info. at once.

yes, cga requries a degree for licensing.  but they are partner with few universities which offer special(2year???) programs for cga students.  my friend said it is much easier than you complete a ba at a regular university

cpa & ca has an agreement, cpa  can become a ca by taking a MC? exam.
