@hopefullyoz Hi po! Ask ko lang regarding sa COE na nirequest mo from SGV. Did you gave them format to include JD or yung usual COE lang na may position, tenure and binigay sayo? Im also from SGV and preparing my documents for assessment. TIA

hopefullyoz

@shanerivera_bluice I specified the information needed. CPAA listed all the information they need, and I included them in my email.

Good luck!

@hopefullyoz, sa CPAA have you attached a certificate of good standing from PICPA? Is this required or ID is enough? If yes, paano ka nagrequest? Thank you!

hopefullyoz

@Emong is this for the migration requirement? I did not attach the cert. of good standing, and was not asked by CPAA.

But for the associate membership in CPAA, required ang certificate. I requested the certificate from PICPA Cebu chapter’s office, and was asked to pay 100php. Mabilis lng naman ang processing.

hi @hopefullyoz are there further studies required by CPAA for associate membership? tia

shanerivera_bluice

@hopefullyoz okay okay salamat. Nagrequest ka pa rin ba ng reference letter from your superior/s aside from the coe?

hopefullyoz

@shanerivera_bluice hindi na. I don't remember it being required by CPAA, but please recheck na rin. Their requirements may have changed since July last year.

@shanerivera_bluice the coe is of no use of it doesn’t have the tasks listed. Technically, you should submit reference letters and not COE. If the tasks have been covered on the letter, no need to provide any other letters. All the best.

@snmgil I haven't pursued applying yet. I just checked the requirements if ever I decide to apply. Ang understanding ko, if you qualify for the associate membership, you still need to take the 6 exams and comply with the experience requirement. Deets here:

Hi @hopefullyoz Would you recommend an agent to help me to Australia, or achievable naman to do it my own?

hopefullyoz

@Emong I wish I could give you a credible answer. I'm not (yet) a success story, so you shouldn't take my word. I don't have an agent. If you don't have the time, and you think you need help, then you definitely need an agent.

hi po ask ko lang, may pinsan po akong PR sa australia, tpos ako po I graduated with a degree of accountacy pero hindi ko pa po napapasa CPA board exam, may chance po kaya ako mabigyan ng VISA 489? if sponsored nung cousin ko

mcril22

@ali0522 yes may chance, given na pasok yung points mo sa requirement, Kahit ndi ka CPA sa pinas. Though mahabang proseso, need mo english test, academic assessment/ skilled experience assessment and so on. Try mo mag self assessment muna if makakakuha ka ng points around 70 pataas mas malaki chances.

WAHM

Thanks @batman @edge , kaka-email ko lang today hopefully may update sa saken tomorrow

Hi planning to take up the student visa path doing masters tapos graduate visa then 189. My problem is do you think I will still get positive assessment/visa grant if wala akong points for work experience? My work experience kasi were AR/AP functions for less than 3 years related so I’m sure di counted. Although I’m a cpa in the Phil. Anyway, hoping to get insights from anyone po. Thank you.

RheaMARN1171933

@reginalove work experience isn’t necessary to get positive assessment. As long as you meet the minimum points required then you will be eligible to apply for a skilled visa. An alternative is apply a 485 visa after you graduate and get work experience in Australia and then apply for a skilled Visa eventually. It’s a long haul though and not guaranteed it will work but worth looking into it if you’re decided to take the student Visa pathway.
