As of today's check at evisa, status is in process..

Hope to hear from others in the same boat.

I am accounting grad pero unfortunately hindi pa nakakapasa for CPA board. I got my CAT last year hoping that it would help me achieve my Oz dream. di pala sya recognized. nagstart na ako magpa-assess sa CPAA, waiting for their reply. based sa mga nabasa ko dito sa forum, I think I will have a long journey to my goal.
I need your help lang po, please, anyone. Can I apply for subclass 189 kahit hindi ako CPA dito sa pinas? Please help po.
Salamat.

More than 8 years na experience ang credited ni Engrs Australia as Telco Network Engr po. Kso currently unemployed ako for 1yr 2 months na, busy asikaso lng ng steps for migration. Kasi kung needed to be employed at the time of application, kailangan ko na din magtrabaho pla before submit application.
