- i think hindi naman kailangan CPA to para ma-assess for skilled visa.. maraming occupation codes (na nasa indemand list of skills SOL or CSOL)
- depende sa course content ng degree mo.. if you want to read CPAA website.. sila ang isa sa mga assessment bodies for accountants.. meron silang hinahanap na mandatory courses/subjects..
- kung complete ang mga subjects mo dun sa hinahanap nilang mandatory requirements.. then mas magiging madali..
- kung wala naman, then you really need to find other visa options.. perhaps taking additional courses or AU accountant certifications while nasa Pinas..
- or Masters degree sa AU (very expensive), this will give you 4 years of post-study visa - na pwede gamitin magwork after mag-aral.. and also pwede mo na masatisfy ang requirements ng CPAA
wait mo ang replies ng mga accountant..they can correct me if im wrong..

You need to complete all mandatory and at least five optional core knowledge areas:
Mandatory
- Accounting Systems and Processes
- Financial Accounting
- Management Accounting
- Accounting Theory
Optional
- Finance
- Auditing
- Commercial Law
- Economics
- Quantitative Methods
- Information Systems Design and Development
- Taxation Law
- Company Law
Yung magiging evidence mo is yung course syllabus mo. If hindi mo sya na meet lahat, they will require you to take a course with them to cover your deficiency. Being an accountancy graduate or a CPA is a plus, but is not an assurance na makaka receive ka ng favorable assessment if hindi rin complete yung ni require nila. If you have read through some of the posts, may mga sumasabit dahil sa theory of accounts kahit CPA sa PH. Please read yung mga FAQs. It will answer most of your questions.

Good day!
I just noticed sa timeline mo twice ka ngupload ng documents. Just wondering what those other documents you uploaded sa second batch and was this because the CO asked for additional documents? I just want to prepare ahead of time in case the CO will ask for more documents so appreciate if you can give tips or info on your uploading. Also for timeline monitoring purposes, what date ka exactly naglodge? If it's not too much to ask.
These are what I already uploaded by the way:
1. Proof of Age (Colored Scanned Copy of Original Birth Certificate)
2. Proof of English Language (Colored Scanned Copy of Original IELTS results)
3. Proof of Skilled Employment (Scanned Copies of Original COE, Original Work Reference, Original Contract, Recent 6 months Payslips, CTC of CPAA Assessment)
4. Proof of Qualifications (CTC of Diplomas and Academic Transcripts)
5. Proof of Travel Identity (Colored Scanned Copy of Original Passport)
6. Proof of Character (Colored Scanned Copy of NBI Clearance)
Do you think there’s any that I missed? If there’s any based on your application, please let me know.
I also uploaded mostly scanned colored copies of original and didn’t have them certified. Someone who already had a VISA grant advised me not to have them certified kasi parang original naman na sila since scanned sya directly from the documents. Do you think there’s a problem with this?
Thank you very much in advance for your response.
If there’s anyone here as well who can advise re: concern above, maraming maraming salamat!
God bless us all!

Yes, I uploaded additional documents because the CO requested them, except the Form 80 which I front-loaded. And yes, if colored scanned sya, no need to have it certified. As for the documents, that's pretty much the same, except that I was asked to upload more payslips (uploaded 18 months I think), included PICPA ID and certificate and the board rating. Malapit na yan! God bless.

1. Your CO will have the last say on your employment experience. As long as fully documented and related yung experience mo to your nominated occupation, no need to worry. Also, pano mo nasabing related yung case mo dun sa na deny?
2. I think paranoia is common to all visa applicants.
3. Regarding Skillselect, no need to rush in accomplishing. Check all the documents you will submit, because once you have uploaded it, you can no longer delete it.

About po sa skillselect, I'm planning to have my medical kasi on 23rd of May. My visa application deadline pala is June 13. May nabasa kasi ako na I need to apply for visa first before I can go for medical kasi I need my HAP ID. Ok lang po bang istart ko na yung visa application ko while waiting for some documents pa? May save then submit later po bang functionality yung sa application for visa? or better igather ko muna lahat ng documents ko bago mag-apply? Please advice. Thank you!
