I'm a newbie here. I find this forum very helpful.
I have questions po regarding the documents to be submitted to ICAA. I'm currently preparing for IELTS and collating all the required documents for ICAA migration assessment, at the same time. My question is very strict po ba ang ICAA when it comes to the submitted documents? I recently requested course outlines and syllabus of the specific accounting and finance subjects, fortunately my school has accomodated my request and was able to pick up the documents in just after a couple of days. However, I noticed that each copy that was given to me was already certified by our college dean (kaya pala napamahal ako). As per ICAA website:
The person/agent certifying your documents must confirm that they have seen and compared the original to the copy that they are certifying and that it is a true copy. The full name, address, signature and title of the person/agent certifying the documents must be included as part of the certification.
Accepted authorities for certifying documents in Australia:
Australian Chartered Accountant/Australian CPA (must include membership number)
Australian embassy/consulate/high commission staff
University official (must include university stamp in addition to signature)
Notary public
Solicitor, legal practitioner, Magistrate
Justice of the Peace
Commissioner for declarations
Commissioner for affidavits
Commissioner of oaths
Migration agent, registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (must included registration number)
Police office (in Australia only)
Pharmacist (in Australia only)
Postal Manager (in Australia only)
For overseas authorities please refer to the public notary within your country.
Please note that the Institute reserves the right to request original documentation if required or deemed necessary.
Based from the requirements above, notary public lang po ba ang pwede mag certify ng documents originating from countries outside Australia?
May naka experience na po ba dito na nagpa assess with ICAA na school dean or registrar po ang nag certify with positive results?
Thank you!

Full-fledged Member kasi ako ng Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants ISCA (formerly Institute of CPAs in Singapore). May mutual recognition agreement between CPA Australia and ISCA
Gusto ko lang sana matanong kung associate ba or full fledged CPA membership ang ibibigay kung sakaling mag apply ako sa CPA Australia.
Yung nakalagay kasi sa application form na membership fee, if approved, is the same as the membership fee for full CPA. Isang amount lang ng membership fee ang nakalagay,

yes, i need to pay membership fee separately for CPA Australia and ISCA, i agree.
Unfortunately, CPA Australia cannot advise by telephone or email whether or not an applicant is eligible for exemptions or membership. Nag email ako once, but they required me to submit a membership application.
Nagbabakasakali ako dito sa forum baka may same case sa akin.

I recently had my Skills and Work (Combined Assessment) assessed by ICAA and per status sa website nila Completed na kaso inaantay ko pa yung actual letter from them para makapag proceed ako ng EOI, granting positive ang outcome. Per inquiry snail mail by post ang method of delivery nila. Usually gano katagal bago ma-receive dito sa Pinas?
Sir @TasBurrFoot napansin ko yung sa wife nyo may result na from CPAA in just a month. Gano katagal nyo inantay nung outcome? By regular post din pa sila magpadala ng assessment?
Thank you!

I also sent an inquiry sa Customer Service ng ICAA and sabi nila di sila nagpapadala ng result electronically kaya kelangan talaga to wait for the letter itself. For info na rin sa ibang naka experience or nagpapa assess tru ICAA.

I just realised (after sending the assessment docs) that I can apply and pay online pala and then send the supporting docs later. What we did is the mano-mano way, filled out the application form and then send everything to CPAA. Anyone here have done this? Were you contacted by CPAA upon receipt of docs or the assessment is completed?
Maraming salamat!

What we did was create a log-in sa CPA Australia and paid for the assessment; an hour later, we sent the paper documents to Melbourne... No confirmation was given to us that they have received the documents.
