You do not need a master's degree to be a licensed CPA. You can do this with a bachelor's degree, with the appropriate prerequisite coursework and with a least one year of experience. However, each state is different and you would have to check with each to find out the specific requirements particular to that state.

I'm Indian resident. I have u.s. cpa degree. I wants to immigrate to Canada. Will the u.s. cpa degree be of any help in getting a job in Canada?

Here's the answer to your question : You could immigrate in Canada with your U.S. cpa degree but, you can't get a job with your u.s. cpa degree. The only way to get a job in Canada is to have an Canadian cpa degree or an Canadian passport. A CPA degree or a CPA license? An accounting degree is required to get the CPA license. I'm going to assume you have a CPA license. CPA licenses are good only in the state in which they were obtained, unless another state allows reciprocity with that particular state. The AICPA is currently working on having the CPA license in one state being universally accepted in all 50 states. Your bachelor's degree in accounting will probably still be accepted by Canadian countries, since GAAP in the U.S. is probably very similar to GAAP in Canada. IASB is close to GAAP also, but with fewer rules than GAAP.
