My Grandmother: The SC

[prb]

would CA be similar to what in the states is called a CPA (certified public accountant)

seriously, $300 an hour... I may just have to file for Canadian citizenship.

CA = CPA

A CA can get their CPA designation by writing a few exams. So it may be similar to go the other way. $300 per hour - well, he has a lot of experience.

Here's the info on the ICAO site:
