本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛Thanks Lynne for posting the link to the CPA website. Until I explored the website, I was undecided. Now I am truly clear what to do. I believe there is a purpose to put CGAs and CMAs into the affiliate member class. It could mean that the majority of the CPA can do whatever they want to do later on to this class as by vote (if the affiliate member have a right to vote equally) the affiliate members as minority cannot change anything. In addition, CGAO has no or a few members in the CPA board cannot influence the decision the CPA board is going to make. Who will hear from the CGAs by then?
This is a beautiful takeover not a merger. The CGAs in other 8 provinces who support merger may not have such issue. It is a issue faced by all CGAs of CGAO. Until such classification or similar is removed, rush into merger is only to surrender our rights and leave us hopeless later on…

Hi Gary...I think the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario's website info about Ontario CGAs becoming a CPA will help clarify...please see http://www.icao.on.ca/Admissions/MemberCMAOorCGAO/AffiliateMember/1010page16062.aspx
There are affiliate members and associate members - to be an associate member, you have to register as a student and meet the requirements (and you cannot be exempted from writing the UFE...something personally I'm not really interested in having to do right now!), so sure seems to me that CGAs could only "automatically" become a class of member different than the class of member that CAs would receive, hence the different treatment Paul referred to. I'm still not clear on what the difference between the two member options are, apart from the initials used, and am still trying to sift through all the information out there.
By the way, thanks to everyone participating in this forum - there sure is a lot of information to wade through. Personally, I think CGA Ontario has a better understanding of the environment in Ontario than CGA Canada does, and am trusting them to do what is best for us.
Best regards,
Lynne
