  • There are approx 150 CIMA students in Canada and not all students are actively studying. 
  • No colleges in Canada offer CIMA courses and therefore Canadian students study by distance-learning. We suggest BPP Professional Education, as 72% of CIMA prize winners trained with BPP in 04 May.
  • There are no schemes in Canada where employers support CIMA student studies. 
  • CIMA examination papers are universal, which means the exam content is the same whether you sit the paper in Canada, England or Sri Lanka.
  • CIMA is not as well known in Canada as the Canadian CMA designation. 
  • CMA requires a university degree. 
  • CIMA is an international accounting designation with 218,000 members & students in 177 countries.
