Between the Canadian CPA and AICPA (US CPA), which would you choose and why?

I have plans to move out to South Korea later in my career, and I feel like AICPA would be more beneficial there. Any suggestions?

Canadian one is so much harder to get than the US one. There are way, way more CPAs and accountants in general in Canada. Go for the USA

You can transfer the license, not a big deal.

You also don’t need the license unless you specifically work as an audit partner.
