@CPAofOz thanks im on it.

It's been almost 2 years that I've been lurking in this forum. Now, i'm seriously giving it a shot. And I hope my Mantra will work this time.

Timeline:
12 July 2013 : First take of IELTS Academic (R:8.5, S: 7.5, L: 7, W:6.5) Failed
16 Nov 2013: Second take of IELTS Academic (R:7, S7.5, L:8.5, W6.5) Failed

2014: Na out of focus sa plans buhay!!! (Kailangan ng more push pa.)

28 Feb 2015: First take of IELTS General (R8.5, S7, L7.5, W6.5)

Si writing talaga ang nagpapahamak sa akin. Nagsubmit na ako ng Express Entry for my Canada dreams. While waiting for the outcome I've checked again the Pinoyau forum. And it so happen that I came to know about Pearson Pte Academics. This time i'll try to push my limit na for this last take sa Pearson. Who knows this time magwork. If it means to happen it will happen. Planning to take the exam Sep this year. I'll update my timeline once done with the exam.

@WalanjoSG good luck! May I know if your application is for Canada or AU?

@shye428 hI. sorry sobrang tagal ng reply. 2003 ako graduate. kaka exam ko lang ng accounting theory nung Thursday thru pearsonvue. sinubukan ko din kasi mag email sa CPA OZ and sabi nila iba daw ang migration assessment.

shye428 · June 2015

hi @jeriellejade thanks sa reply. cpaa announced some changes regarding migration assessment requirements.

http://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/become-a-cpa/migration-assessment

I hope i won't have any problem with regard to this, but i'm doubtful about the "management accounting" and "financial management" isn't it the same?

for accountants who passed the migration assessment via cpaa pls. give some tips..

CPAofOz · July 2015

vamdcpa · July 2015

@CPAofOz

Wow! Lucky you. It was a month for me

akocpa · July 2015

Thank you. Oo nagulat ako. Pero nireencode ko lang yung syllabus and ginawa kong reader friendly yun. 1st page is table ng summary. Second page is statutory declaration and next na yung syllabus. Hundred pages. Super labo kasi ng binigay ng school namin kaya natakot akong magsubmit nalang ng basta basta.

CPAofOz · July 2015

@akocpa would you mind sharing that to us?

you can send it to my email, [email protected]

thanks in advance.

regasdxb · July 2015

Hi mga kabayan, newbie lng po dito sa forum. tanong ko lng po sana baka may makatulong sa akin. May chance pa po kya ako mag apply ng migration khit na nasa 40's na ko. Accounting grad ako pero di CPA, accounting job nman po lahat ng napasukan ko. Sa ngayon dito ko Dubai, Gen. Accountant ako for 9 yrs already. Sana may mga taga Dubai na matulungan ako. Thanks po.

CPAofOz · July 2015

Hi Sir @regasdxb,

(1) where did you graduate?
(2) are you 40-44 yrs. old?
(3) are you proficient in English or at least have the perseverance for English?
(4) how many years did you work as an accountant outside Australia, meaning Philippines and abroad except said country?
(5) do you have a partner? if yes, what is her qualifications?

CPAofOz · July 2015

@regasdxb you can check other requirements here, http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-

I ask you questions for the points test.

regasdxb · July 2015

CPAofOz, thanks po sa pag reply agad. More than 10 years na po ko my experience sa acctg work. kaso nun kabataan ko eh palipat lipat kasi ako eh..so di maganda un record ko nun. un last ko sa phils na work, 6 years ako dun, una 2 years as Secretary to Asst. VP Finance, then 2 years sa acctg division then promoted as Sec. to VP Finance. Isang company lahat yun 6 yrs ko. Dito nmn sa Dubai, 9 years na ko as Gen. Acct sa isang company lng din. Average lng ang english ko sa pagkka assess ko sa sarili ko. By the way, babae po pala ako. Un husband ko Safety officer ng construction company kaso 44 yrs old na sya at ako nmn ay 40. Inaalala ko rin yun sa core knowledge areas nila. Iba kasi un title ng nsa TOR ko. Di ako sure kung parehas ba yun o ano. Thanks again. I'll check ko later un site na binigay mo.

regasdxb · July 2015

Ay sorry po, mali pala yun icon dpat pla ay ☺..

CPAofOz · July 2015

@regasdxb maassess naman nila yan kasi yun requirement nila for syllabus is a detailed one. may complete description ng mga subjects. and if kasama un school niyo po dun sa mga kilalang university or college, equivalent na un sa australian bachelor degree, based on my personal insights lang po.

15 pts po un 40 yrs old.

Proficient english is 10 pts and also required by the assessing authorities for accountants, which is at least 7.0 in each band of IElTS or at least 65 pts in each communicative skill of PTE Academic, I recommend you take the latter. http://pinoyau.info/discussion/4233/pte-academic/

Skilled employment outside Australia for 8-10 yrs is 15 pts.

Bachelor degree from an Australian recognized standard is 15 pts.

For the remaining 5 pts that you need to qualify for migration, you can opt your partner's skill qualification be assessed by their relevant authority OR apply for a state or territory government nomination. The first option will lead you to visa 189 (http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-) and the other will be for visa 190 (http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/190-).

@CPAofOz Okay. Ill send both the word and pdf file.

CPAofOz · July 2015

@vamdcpa what's the previous year's occupation ceiling for accountants?

this looks like a bad sign for us.

CPAofOz · July 2015

2013-2014 Programme Year - 9720
2014-2015 Programme Year - 5478 (43% decrease)
2015-2016 Programme Year - 2525 (53% decrease)

It decreased almost 3000 invites. We really need to move fast.
