I do not have high gpa and as per Canadian equivalent my education is bachelor level. If I earn high marks in cpa prerequisite course, will I have a chance to enter Big 4 firm (Canada based)? I have experience as audit associate for a year and as a internal auditor for 2 and half year in my home country.
