CGA ---> Certified General Accountant

It's a second-tier accounting designation in Canada for those who could not be Chartered Accountants.

You need to contact your provincial CGA body to see what you are exempt from. Depending on how many accounting courses you have done -- to my knowledge you do not automatically get a CGA if you have a CPA. When I asked checked they told me we need to evaluate your transcripts...

If you are thinking for a Canadian CA - I heard you need to have worked 2 years in public accounting in the US, and then go back to Canada and do the CA reciprocity test. I had a friend who had a CPA with no US experience and went direct into the CA program (CKE, School of Accountancy & UFE) -- I don't know if that option still exists.

you'll probably have to do some digging or call somebody at ICAO or CGA Ontario. Links below.
