ACCA can be completed in a minimum of  2 years while the normal/minimum duration to qualify CA is 5 to 5.5 years.

Scope

In Pakistan

As CA is a Pakistan-based degree so it has very good scope as compared to ACCA and job opportunities are more for CA students as compared to ACCA students. Accountancy firms also give more preference to CA students as compared to ACCA students. The salary of CA is also high as compared to ACCA in Pakistan but it doesn't mean that ACCA doesn't have scope in Pakistan and there are no job opportunities for ACCA students. The scope of ACCA is very good in Pakistan and ACCA can earn a high income in Pakistan as compared to CA but it depends on circumstances.

Out of Pakistan

As ACCA is a UK-Based degree so it has a very good scope out of Pakistan in many countries as compared to CA. The job opportunities and salary of ACCA is high as compared to CA out of Pakistan. But it doesn't mean that CA doesn't have scope and job opportunities out of Pakistan it has but less than ACCA and it depends on circumstances.

Conclusion

it's very simple if you want to job in Pakistan after your qualification then choose CA and if you want to go outside Pakistan after qualification then choose ACCA.
