Is there any any possibilities to find some context to make all certification be equal in term of importance?
You cannot rank them, because they have different focus. For an explanation, see the link below.

It depends on the nature of the business organization where you want to work. For a manufacturing company, CMA will have better prospect than CFM or CFP. But for a financial instituation, like Banks, Insurance companies, CFM or CFP will be the best one as the core area of these businesses is finance.
I agree with Fakir. It really depends on your career goals, education, and skills. CMA is geared towards working in an Accounting department at a relatively large company. CFM is better for being a manager dealing with costs and expenses. CFP is used for giving financial and investing advice, usually working for a broker. So it really depends on what you want to do in the next phase of your career.

Agree with above answers. Would just add that CFA is highly regarded although oriented towards financial services.
It depends on your future goals. However, CFA is really good certificate for finance.
I agree with you all and add ACCA as a well-known letters in finance world.
Dear Friends,
I appreciate all your answer and all is nice viewpoint, but sure each of this certification will be important based on the job, and the environment such as government instructions or the career requirement in the company, in the end all of them are important to get promotion or a better job and then better salary and performing better compare to the people who did not get this certification.
again thanks
I think it goes without saying that people can have multiple certifications, and can change those certifications as demanded by their career progress. A motivated employee should be willing to do this. For example, at the start of my career I was a CPA but later dropped this and took up the IIA (internal audit) qualification as that had greater relevance. These were in addition to my chartered accountant certification.
To compare them and judge their importance relatively would be inappropriate because each of these professional qualifications target different areas of study.
CMA- Management Accounting, Costing , Budgeting ( Manufacturing Companies)
CFP- Investment Analysis, Portfolio Management, Valuation, Financial Planning ( Investment consulting firms, Financial Intermediaries )
CFM-Corporate Finance ( Manufacturing and service organisations)
If you have to choose between them , try and figure out , which is that area of study which you find most interesting and then pursue that relevant qualification.
I agree with most of you, comparing all these may not be the best estimate. I am a certified - CFM, but it is not limited to manufacturing as said above.
