ICAI or Institute of Chartered Accountants of India is the world’s second-largest professional body of accountants which was set up in 1949 under the Act of Parliament i.e. The Chartered Accountants Act. Millions of students dream of becoming chartered accountants and work hard for it. Not to mention, the exam to become CA is considered one of the toughest exams in India. But the young and bright students of India easily crack the exams and we get thousands of CA added to the country’s human capital every year. A lot of them wish to practice their accountancy abroad though and for that, they need their transcript. Here in this article, we will see how a student can apply for a transcript from ICAI.

A student becomes a chartered accountant after completing this professional course after clearing different levels of exams i.e. foundation course, CPT, PCE, intermediate and final examinations. Passing from ICAI gives recognition to the student as a CA in India. But if the student wishes to work in Canada, then the student needs to get an ECA report from WES for Canada and get embassy attestation done for its authenticity. The ICAI transcript also needs to get embassy attestation to be considered unforged and authentic. For getting ECA, the student can consider WES or IQAS as per their choice where they will need to submit their transcript. Submitting transcripts for ECA doesn’t require attestation from the embassy though. So, to get transcripts from ICAI you have 3 options.
