This Auditor from Dubai Explains how he Immigrated to Canada and Found a Job within 45 Days

• Hi, I am Vishal Thakkar a Commerce Graduate and a Chartered Accountant from ICAI (India), based in Toronto, Canada.
• Having lived in Dubai for almost 13 years and now in Canada for a few years, I am excited to share my journey and experiences from moving countries. 
• Here is my journey so far.

Taking Up Chartered Accountancy

I was born and raised in Mumbai (India). My childhood was a typical Mumbai childhood from growing in a cosmopolitan environment, celebrating the diversity and everything that the city has to offer.

At school, I was always an average (read hardworking). I started working full-time at the age of 15  (after class 10) and am working ever since!

With my dad and elder brother being accountants, my inclination towards commerce was natural. Plus, studying full-time was not a possibility so I was looking for a course where studying and working could go hand-in-hand.
