Hi guys, I am just wondering is it possible to transfer states after passing the CPA exams?

Also what states actually accept additional college or university courses to update from 120 credits to 150 credits?

Are there any states that accept Canadian Charted Accountant work experience?

I know nothing about Canadian CA, but the reoccurring theme with just about every state's board of examiners website is to sit where you plan on working since educational requirements can greatly differ from state to state.

For example: The accounting credit requirement is 36 credit hrs in Arizona, but in Illinois it's 24 credit hr's.

I would love to move out of state (these winters are getting brutal, people!), but it makes more sense for me to hold off, become licensed, and take it from there. It would suck if you completed all the exams and found out you don't even have the requirements to sit for the exam in the state you want to practice in. That just sounds like a nightmare.

Good Luck!
