+ t+ r3 B0 m9 g( T# F3: that depends. Again, if u r in acctg, u should have at least 3.0 for ur GPA. Cuz even if u r lucky, the coop office let u in, if u have less than 3.0, it would be extremely hard for u to get a job later.
" L# `4 N9 u. J$ _7 ^& V4: In the interview, u should make it sound u r really really determined to do the program, u know exactly wat u want from this program and u R goin to finish it without any problems.
5: the research is for urself, u just have to know how the program works (i.e. u need to know the schedule of the program, how the program fits ur undergrad schedule and how u gonna finish the program).
6: that;s based on individual case, i am not sure if u can still apply. normally, no.

I am barely on msn ...and never use QQ....hahhaa..sorrie.....i can only type that much info here. you need to do ur own research (i.e. google would be a great place to start...)
CASB: CA school of business, it has 6 modules, u need to finish 12 pre-req courses at UofA (u can find the course list on CA insititutes website), after u done ur 12 pre-req courses, u can apply for mod 1. But u WILL need to be employed to go onto mod 2..........after u finish all 6 modules, in that year, u will write ur UFE (uniform evaluation exams, the final exam for CA). Coupled with CASB, u WILL need 36 months of working experience rite now in order to be chartered.
/ I! K" \3 e" K$ b  {5 YMPAcc: Master of Professional Accountancy, offered by USask, I am doing MPAcc myself, and this is a master degree that will allow u to skip Mod 1 - Mod 5. and this program spreads into 2 summer, in total of 8 months. So i work for 8 months with my firm in year 1 then i will go to MPAcc from may till the end of aug. Same goes for the sec yr. At the end of my sec yr program, I will be writing UFE with ppl from CASB.

Basically those 2 are the same thing, but u get a master degree with MPAcc.....

6 F9 s- q2 I, m, _( LI searched on the CA web, the Step 1: Start with a degree,Step 2: Obtain Employment in a CA Training Office,Step 3: Learn through CASB。。。I have a question here, for the step 1, since i m not finishing my degree, how i can be admitted by CA firm during my co-op program. For second step that u didnt mention this training office, is this the one(same as coop?) that i can apply for in the sep entry? If so,its allowed to do the step 1 and step 2 together? for the third step, it requires the 12 pre courses in u of a, but few courses are not my required course for my undergraduate ie.SMO 404,406 and couple of accountings.. i  can get my undergruade degree without these course but 120 credit. do i have to study these courses with "no credit" in u of a after i obtain a degree?
