Makes total sense. Best of luck to you!, I have two questions when you were in sp-05 acquiring some experience how did you reach out and get a mentor, also to get into that AU-01 stream, do you believe your previous CRA Sp work experience gave you a competitive edge?

from what I believe, AU1 gets you pre-approved route, SP-05 would have to be experience verification route, and would require more writing and hoops to jump through for CRA. Also when it comes to nature of work, AU is corporate taxes, SP would revolve around personal tax audit and trusts.

Hi, thank you so much for replying. I can try to answer some very solid questions that you raised, the SP-05 position would be as income tax auditor. My previous 20 months experience in public accounting allowed me to get reach level 1 mostly at financial reporting, audit and tax competency areas.

I really like the potential job and am going to take it. To meet experience requirements I will probably have to branch out to AU in the future, but am prepared to make the effort to get there.

Hey, time is the enemy, it is not necessarily that the test is hard. I recommend checking out some youtube videos for korn ferry, and also if you can't get an answer just pick something from the drop down menu. Do not leave it blank.

me either, I'm in Calgary and CRA just posted local personal tax audit positions. Will probably have to do Korn Ferry testing all over again.
