Accountant

@TasBurrfoot I see. All I can do is wait pala.. Thanks!

Hello all! I got a positive cpaa skill assessment!!! Thanks for your help esp to @vhoythoy and @buzzy

Is it correct that I can now proceed with the eoi? Or should I wait for a positive skilled employment assessment first? CPAA is still asking for a statutory declaration with list of work duties..

@gms hi, ganu katagal bago mo nareceive sa cpaa ung result? nakareceive ka na ba ng letter na "suitable" ung nominated occupation mo? thanks!

gms · April 2015

@bernaabad yes nakalagay na i am "academically suitable for migration under general accountant". Nakuha ko sya after 3 to 4 weeks

vamdcpa · April 2015

@gms I think in order to claim points for visa 189, you would need the skilled epmloyment assessment from CPAA.

Thanks @vamdcpa

Hi, new member here. I am just starting to collate my docs. May I ask for those who submitted their PRC ID, do I need to change name pa since yung maiden name ko pa nakalagay sa ID ko? Sobrang tagal lang kasi ng process, if mag-change name pa ako. Or can i just renew my card as it is? Thanks.

@jillpot i think di na kailangan papalitan kasi sa birth certificate, diploma, etc andun naman maiden name mo

I just submitted my EOI yesterday with 65 points. However, I think there will be no more slots for Accountants after the May 8 invite.

Hope our nominated occupation will be included in the next programme year!

@vamdcpa wag naman sana.

I'm scheduled to take IELTS tomorrow and saturday.

@vamdcpa, mukha ngang wala nang matitirang slots from last 08 May round with 46 slots to fill in. considering na based sa report nila, ang cutoff ng EOI for accountants last 24 apr e 60 pts until 23 march 1:05pm... hopefully, magbukas pa sila for accountants sa july... pero good news pa rn for auditors kasi madame pa slots...

Anyone here who has had their education assessed by ICAA? Did you submit a letter of good standing from PICPA? Or the CPA Certificate and exams results would suffice. Thanks!

@pangrom0529 where can you see that report? I'd like to check as well. Thanks much!!

@CPAofOz To be honest, I don't expect to be invited for the 2014-2015 programme year given the number of slots remaining. Let's just pray that our nominated occupation will remain in the SOL this coming July. Goodluck on your IELTS exam!

Hello Guys...

Anyone here who recently requested for a skills & employment assessment through ICAA and got the results? Gaano po katagal bago sya lumabas? I know their website says it will take about 8 weeks for the combo, gusto ko lang malaman kung inaabot ba talaga ng ganito katagal?

Thanks in advance and goodluck to all aspirants!

@vhoythoy hi I am just new here I am accountant also from PUP but not CPA. My situation is getting married to a Australian foreigner this year and we have baby already.I am still here in Philippines currently working as a financial assistant.My question is kailangan ko pa din bang magpassess s ICAA for my education and work experience while im here or dyan na lang pgdating ko (not yet processing my subclass309/100 visa).Or madali na skin ung process dahil may australian hubby nme? I am not sure and curious lang po. Sna may makatulong s inquiry ko kasi wala pme nababasa ng same situation ko. Thanks

If you can get a spouse visa then there is no need for you to do skills assessment from ICAA - you can work I believe on spouse visa alone, provided you can get someone to hire you.

hello all! im a CPA and ang work experience ko is 2 yrs audit and 4yrs financial reporting. Visa 189 granted na ako with my husband as principal applicant and about to go to NSW this july. Ang question ko is this: do i still need to get my skills assessed by CPAA/ICAA in order to pursue an accounting career in au? 6 kasi ang writing ko sa ielts kaya hindi pa ako makapagpush sa assessment..and if i need to be assessed, kelangan ko magretake..

Nope... Getting a work here, skills assessment are not needed - sa immigration lang ito.

Congratulations and all the best!

great!!

thank you thank you!

hi @tere08, but if you woud like to pursue your cpa or ca title in au, you need to be assessed prior taking the exams... tama ba @tasburrfoot?

TasBurrfoot · May 2015

hi @tere08, but if you woud like to pursue your cpa or ca title in au, you need to be assessed prior taking the exams... tama ba @tasburrfoot?

true... but it is not the skills assessment, they use a different criteria which is a bit similar but different.

Tere08 · May 2015

yes..nung una kasi migration assessment lang nakikita ko sa website nila (CPAA) so naconfuse ako..but i realized you'll still get assessed once you applied for membership..tama ba ako na hindi kelangan ng ielts for that assessment?

anneoz08 · May 2015

@Tere08 hi same situation here, i have pr visa din secondary to my hubby. i already inquired that. ielts is not needed (lucky us) that's only required for migration assessment, member assessment tayo

ms43lei · May 2015

@orange11 icaa ang nag assess sa akin. they received my documents jan12 tapos may result na jan29. mabilis naman sila

orange11 · May 2015

@ms43lei thank you sa reply

PR ka na?

Ni-send ko yung akin April 17 pero wala pa rin results hanggang ngayon. Just a bit apprehensive about the outcome kase from PUP ako, at ang Acctg Theory ko is not a stand alone subject i.e. Financial Acctg Theory & Practice.

ms43lei · May 2015

@orange11 although 2mos din ang sinabi ng agent ko na processing time ng ICAA. baka nabusy lang sila ngayon. baka malapit na rin yan. di pa ako PR, waiting pa nga rin sa visa
