Nifty fact from my CA "graduation" ceremony from the chair of the CICA, 15 or 20% of senior executives in Canada are CAs, while representing only a fraction of a percent of the total population. And thats not just CFOs, that every position VP and up.

I am a CMA (also a MBA), in my opinion the CA is a more rounded and senior accountant in most situations, and usually the CFO in larger companies is a CA. The MBA in my opinon though provides a broader path to senior management, if just looking from a perspective of career path.
