Accountant

Sushigurl

@psychoboy Realities of life...I used to think like you, but we have to accept and adjust accordingly and move forward. Remember, we are moving to Aus and not the other way around. Maski sabihin mo pang CPA ka rto, to think ilan kaming Ph CPA in my current work place. Takes time...

@Sushigurl - I won't argue with you if you MAY have misjudged my mindset...

Never occurred to me, nor did that cross my mind... Im just expressing my opinion like everyone here...

Question. Di ba every July yata nagbabago ang migration rules sa Australia. Saan ba cut-off ng visa applications kung saan hindi ka na apektado ng changes ng migration rules. For example, if nag submit ka ng "189 Visa application" before July eh ligtas ka na sa mga changes sa bagong rulings?

Kaya ba DIY visa applications kahit kasama family?

Thanks

@vhoythoy - every Jul 1st nagpapalit ng rules/quota... and previously, if you apply on Jun30th your visa application will be assessed on the previous rule..

unfortunately now, there are two dates, 1) submission of EOI and 2) visa application...
example, you submitted your EOI on Jun30, but they changed the rule on Jul1
and based on that changes hindi kana qualified... my quess is hindi kana maiinvite for visa application..

so im not sure na kahit nakapagsubmit kana ng EOI before the change was made, eh dun ka pa rin sa previous rule i-aassess..

this is only my opinion.. im trying to search regarding this, pero parang walang concrete answer sa DIAC website...

@vhoythoy - on your second question.. oo naman.. if you have time to read and understand everything about the requirements... kayang kaya..
marami sa mga nandito ang walang agents..

@vhoythoy - Agree, kayang-kaya walang agent. Basta give it some time and patience, you will be fine. Also, ask questions to those who’ve done thing before you. Makakatulong if kukuha ng tips from this.

Sir Davidx23, Nakita ko yung first part ng discussion na IT audit background nyo. I'm an IT auditor also, so magtatanong sana ako kung ano yung mga steps na kinuha mo.

Iniisip ko kung ano yung magiging assessing authority ko kung ACS (which you took) or Vetassess (for Internal auditor).

Sa mga nakakaalam, paki reply nalang. salamat!

here's my email

@Davidx23 sir, iniisip ko kung sa vetassess ba ako dapat magpa assess, kasi IT auditor din ako. So im thinking kung magfall sya under internal audit? salamat!

@Shengsevilla hi madam, I got my CPA license from UST too, tanong ko lang kung makukuha ba natin yung 15points under educational qualification? I'm counting down my points kasi, kaya big help if I can get this point. salamat!

1 last, what Ielts did you took? salamat ulit!

1 last, what Ielts did you took? salamat ulit!

If I may answer this:

(1) UST - yes! can claim for 15pts. it is one of the 1st category school in the phils (as per their accreditation unit in australia) - on top of that, the course you took is one that has a board examinations.

(2) IELTS - academic and dapat no score lower than 7 in ALL subject, this is as far as the requirement of CPAA, ICAA and IPA is concerned. however you mentioned you are looking at getting assessed in VETASSESS, better double check on their IELTS requirements.

Sorry @hellfire, i wont be of much help. because i do not have an idea!! Hahaha kasi nag agent ako. And feb 2011 p kmi naglodge ng docs, CO allocated ng oct 2011 then nov 2011 visa grant (dont actually kept track of my application timeline coz i believe i pay the agent to this) and during that time general ang required sa ielts, not academic.

Buti na lang andito si sir @psychoboy to answer your question.

Thanks @psychoboy for answering this

@psychoboy sir, maraming salamat! laki tulong nito!

@shengsevilla ok lang po iniisip ko din mag agent, pwede po ba malaman agent nyo? tnx!

Guys, tanong ko lang, ang important lang ba is pumasa ako sa assessing authority and have my visa granted, then I can take any career pagpunta sa australia? just for example lang, if nagassess sakin CPAA, then they granted me visa then I can apply for engineering jobs in Australia? (just to exaggerate).

Salamat sa inyo!

Pleasure @Hellfire!

To answer your question, just pass your skills assessment and get your visa; afterwards, you can start an acting career in Australia...

The above is an exaggeration but yeah what I am pointing out is, the choice is yours afterwards on what career you want to pursue in the land down under.

Hellfire

sir @psychoboy marami salamat!

Shengsevilla

@hellfire you know @psychoboy has a point.. At this stage, you need to secure your visa first. And finding a job here is another story. Kc ako, it took me 6 mos before landing an acctg job. Un iba 3 mos. un iba 1 yr.


Kun mkahanap ka ng career in your profession agad mas maganda but in some cases, the odds may not be in your favor. You need to be ready once your here at di lang emotionally but also financially ready. For sure habang may pera ka pa youll try to look for a job na in line with your profession pro kun wala kang other source of income, mauubos yan sa day to day na gastos. At ilang buwan kang ready mghanap, mnsan nkakawala ng pag-asa kaso kelangan magtyaga, mas lalong walang mngyayari kun di ka magtyatyaga.

So you need to think of ways to earn money kht temp/part time lang habang naghahanap ng work that you really want. Kun part time ka sa acting is mas ok yan but in some cases, like mine, naglilinis ako ng bahay para lang may panggastos. i know, never in my life i had imagined myself that i will be doing that but its the reality and i need to accept it. Naubos un dala namin pera after 2 months so i need to do that for 4 months just to survive (well its a good money for me pa dn kc i was able to finance my cpaa studies and buy a MBP ) then an opportunity came, and accepted it kht mababa un sweldo, kasi local experience ang habol ko.

Un iba nursing sa pinas, nagpipintura pagdating dito. Un iba professor sa pinas, ngaun kitchen aide dito. So after your visa has been granted, isipin mo na kun work ang pede mong pasukan kun d k mkhanap ng acctg job agad. Once you are here, nasa sayo yan kun anong work just to survive here.

Btw, migration global assistance ang agent ko jan sa makati. good luck

Hi guys im new here i am planning to migrate as accountant sa australia and i will bring along my family. Im so sorry kasi newbie talaga ako at naisip kong mag agent pero from the above conversations parang kaya ko naman mag DIY. I have few questions lang sana. Im CPA and my wife is also CPA sa pinas nabasa ko sa taas puro kayo nagpaassess sa CPAA nung nagcheck ako sa agent ko binigyan nya ako ng form for migration assessment sa ICA. Ano bang dapat sa CPAA or ICA? My another question, kaylangan pa bang mag IELTS ng wife ko kung ako naman yung primary applicant? Meron po ba kayong reviewr ng IELTS academic? Baka po pwede makahingi. Di rin po kasi kami confident sa English namin. If anyone has the reviewer paforward nman po sa email address ko [email protected].

ricshei

@ mondestrella - there are 3 assessing bodies for accountant, mdjo sikat lang ang cpa australia sa karamihan, hehe! if im not wrong, eto pinakamura sa 3 kaya siguro preferred ng karamihan. i myself will try cpa australia for that reason.

for the other question, hintayin natin sagot ng iba, hehe! though i think hindi na kailangan.

off topic - dkaba nagwork sa kcpi? ur name is familiar. hehhe

mondestrella

@ricshei yup i worked at kcpi from 2006 to 2010 hehe ikaw ba si ricky cuenco? Hehe kasi ric ang start ng name mo e. hehe. I see cpa australia ang gagamitin mo rin. Naguguluhan ako kung pano ako mag start buti na lang nakita ko itong forum na to. Big help for me.

mondestrella

Sorry pala from 2006 to 2008 hehe

Shengsevilla

@mondestrella hi! ur name is familiar too..husband ka ba ni chee?

mondestrella

At shengsevilla, yes hehe ako nga yung husband ni chee. How did you know chee?

ricshei

its a small world after all (",) hehehe

pm kita @ mondestrella...

Shengsevilla

@mondestrella wow! Small world. Hahaha. Former officemate ko sya sa meco. Actually kadepartment ko si jek (i believe college friends kayo)

About sa ielts, i would like to share my materials sana with you kaso general pa un reviewer ko. Kelangan nyo is academic. But if familiar ka sa torrent download, you can download it, here's the link

http://kat.ph/usearch/Ielts/

Ok un materials na you can download from the net kc kht un mp3 for the listening part is mapparactice nyo. Un sa speaking, i am not sure if like dubai, british council din nagcoconduct ng exam sa KL. Kasi sa british council sa uae, if you register online may free online review sila and they have videos about speaking part, na for me its a big help, esp their tips.

Good luck! And regards to chee!
