<blockquote rel="AUstudentwannabe">hi...i'm glad i saw this topic...i hope someone could answer my questions since i'm just a newbie here.. initially, my plan was to study in Sydney to get a student visa, then after graduating, i will pursue taking their CPA Australia program.
Fortunately, i had read your posts regarding MPA and i think, this is way better and less costly... first of all, i would like to thank you all for the enlightenment. However, i tried to backread and it's 5:21 am already, still i haven't find the answers of the following questions:
once you receive your assessment from CPA Australia, you are required to study additional subjects. Do you have to take these subjects in Australia? or could be done outside Australia via
If so, what type of visa are you entitled to? student visa or skilled independent?
Another option is to apply to ICAA. once you have the assessment, what type of visa are you entitled?
If accounting bodies and immigration assessments are different processes, are there instances/cases here who receive positive assessment but skilled independent visa is denied?
Hope you'll answer my questions. Is it ok to apply on or own or you have to seek an agent to help me out?

@AUstudentwannabe
CPA program for CPAA is a distance learning style.
If you will study go for student visa, you need load of money for these. If you will work skilled independent and other type that is allowed to work.
ICAA is just an assessing body for few occupations in SOL mostly accountant, External Auditor etc.
4If denied in immigration the reason could be other things but not the positive assessment as this gives you points if you have + assessment.
you can get an agent if you have enough funds.
