@RodSher She is my agent actually.

RodSher

@RheaMARN1171933 may be I can hire you as my agent, although I have an agent already but it seems like you are more knowledgeable.

RodSher

@batman wow good for you.

batman

@RodSher bawal sa code of ethics ang maki alam sa client ng iba unless naka disengaged ka sa kabilang agent bago engaged into a new one. should be done in black and white. I sent you PM.

RodSher

@batman may bayad pala ang migration assessment?

batman

@RodSher u mean initial assessment. When I have mine it was free.

@RodSher @batman I think batman is referring to servicing a new client whilst still in contract with another agent. At the end of the day, no one can stop someone from making an enquiry with another agent in the view of possibly changing the current agent due to dissatisfaction of their services. I was just put on the spot with your question as I don’t even know how to respond to it. Firstly, I cannot speak for your agent and I have this ethical practice not to discredit other agents in the intention of winning/stealing a client...in the same way I don’t want other agents to do the same towards me. Just respecting fellow professionals in my industry.

RodSher

@RheaMARN1171933 that makes you more appealing as an agent. you don't have any idea how much I paid for this agent not to mention I wasted my 6 months wondering what to do next and now they wanted me to do on priority basis with an additional costs.

@hopefullyoz akala ko they will take a month before magrelease ng result. Ano po english exam ang kinuha mo?

hopefullyoz

@AA1219 Akala ko rin eh. Baka dahil sa mga documents ko kaya medyo mas mabilis yung sa akin. Looking back, I think yung 4-5 weeks na binigay ni CPAA sa site nila ay yung maximum time na talaga for them to assess a client.

I took the PTE exam. Eto rin sobrang bilis ng results. I took it in the morning, pagka 1AM lumabas na agad ang resulta ko!

RodSher

@hopefullyoz hello I highly appreciate if you able to share to me your process flow, my assessing body is also CPAA.

hopefullyoz

@RodSher Here is a very helpful link on the CPAA Process:

https://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/become-a-cpa/migration-assessment

Read everything in the process, and if you have questions, try an back-read in this thread. I swear, all your questions may have already been answered. That's what happened to me.

If still confused, try and read again. :-)
Kung wala talaga, tanong lang. The people here are very helpful.

RodSher

@hopefullyoz thank you very much

Good morning everyone.
As stand today, I have 65 points. I will be taking another PTE by end of this month hoping for >79 to add 10 more points. That would make 75 points. However the July invites for accountant is at threshold of 85 points (wow so high!). I'm assuming NSW will open soon but likely will not go down by >80. So it means, will have chance for 190 NSW. I may need another 5 points and below are my options and I need your expert advice:
1. Partner - for additional 5 points. My partner is a graduate of accountancy from PSBA but not CPA. She is working in bank operations (teller, vault, cash custodian, trade finance) for total of 15 years for 2 banks. Pwede ba syang ma-assess as General Accountant or Management Accountant? Meron na bang similar case niyo here sa forum na nagpa-assess sa CPAA. The reason I am asking is I dont want to pay another assessment fee and in addition PTE fee, if in the end I will not be able to claim yung 5points.
2. Do I have any other options to raise additional 5 points in the next 8 months? Kasi I will be deducted by 10 points after that due to my age. Saklap..hehe

I need your inputs please. Thank you.

batman

@dr.ew888 u need to check the job description of your wife if its is closely related to the planned nominated occupation. that's one.

another thing. the qualification will be challenging since she is not a CPA though some got positive assessment even not cpa, depends sa school, grade and subjects taken during college etc..

Hello po. Question po lang po regarding CPAA assessments. Ito na po yung documents na maipapasa ko:
-Passport
-PRC board rating
-CPA certificate
-TOR
-course description
-PRC license
-PICPA certificat
-Diploma
-PTE (L/R/S/W) - 73/73/65/75
May kulang pa po ba?
Yung experience ko po lahat audit (2 1/2 years pa lang), though hindi po muna ako papaassess ng experience kasi di ko pa po makuha yung COE from my company and less than 3 years pa rin naman po. Mas okay po ba magpaassess ako as external auditor? or mas okay yung accounting?

Thank you po.

batman

@ginelgomez once nag apply ka online naka mention ano mga need i submit. Though yun din mga yun. Kong ea experience mo mga ea ka na. Wla ka nmn accountant exp

Hi po. Ask ko lng if may general accountant na na recently n grant ung PR. Sa immitracker po kc prang di gumagalaw ung 221111. Thanks po

pinanay

Hi! I'm confused whether to apply finance, general, or management accountant. I am not a CPA. I graduated with Bachelor of Science Major in Financial and Management Accounting. 2 years later I graduated with Bachelor of Science in Accountancy.

I worked in BDO as an Accounting Assistant for 6 years and as a Financial Analyst in Citibank for 2 years. Saan po kaya ako dapat magpa-assess: finance, general, or management? Thanks im advance.

batman

@pinanay check mo sa https://www.anzscosearch.com/ ang job descriptions nang mga nabanggit mong occupation. makikita mo doon and mga JD kong alin ang mas close sa mga JD mo.

@batman thanks for the prompt reply.

Hello! Meron po ba ditong nakapagpa-assess for ANZSCO 221112 Management Accountant? Salamat po sa sasagot.

JohndAU

@hopefullyoz still tough though to reach 80 points, must avail of partner points in my case...

hopefullyoz

@JohndAU oo nga eh. I also have 75 pts. I'll have to wait till next year for my experience to reach 8 years. Hopefully, I'll get invited by then. *fingers crossed*

JohndAU

by the way how about chances under SC190?

@hopefullyoz I take IELTS and unfortunately di ako nakakuha ng 7 for CPAA assessment. Accepted po ba nila ang ptr and anong score need?

singit lang ako, accepted ang PTE, need ng score of 79 sa LRSW.

JohndAU

@patotoy I think PTE score of 65 is acceptable fo assessment purposes? Then if you need addtl 10 points, you can aim to get superior scores of 79...
