@hopeful_mea Once you upload the documents, makakatanggap ka ng confirmation email from them. If not then I suggest to call them immediately to make sure they receive it. It would normally take 24-48 hours from the upload bago nila makita sa system nila.
Assessment process normally takes aroung 10 working days, at least sa time nung nagpa assess ako which was August 2015.

Ako course description lang binigay ng school ko. Na-accept naman ng cpaa, however my bachelor degree was comparable to Australian Associate Degree lang. It was positively assessed as comparable to Australian Bachelor Degree because of the evidence of my passing for PRC. Yun ang nakalagay sa result ko. I think it will help to submit detailed syllabus if makakarequest ka from your school para sure na sure.

Hello Everyone,
I've been reading this discussions for a while now. I am planning to try opportunities in Australia like you. I've read the site of immigration and CPAA but still I'm confused. I haven't read any age requirements and working experience but I really want to clarify it as I am newly passer and 22 years of age. I hope to receive feedbacks and learn from your experiences.
@blessed28 sure you can try. I just turned 23 last october and now waiting for visa. My visa is 489 which is points based. There are corresponding points for age, english requirement, experience... You have to reach 60 points to be eligible. Since bata pa ako at kulang sa experience, 489 lang pwede sa skilled migration na visa. But you can also try student visa. May kamahalan lang. Student visa kasi you can live in sydney or melbourne or major cities nila. But with 489, it is state sponsored. And condition sakin na dapat magstay ako sa regional area for 2 years. After that, permanent na thru 887 ata yun. Then i can go anywhere na. Parang kumbaga tatyagaan ko nalang magstay sa regional. Pero lilipat ako sydney after. Magaaral kasi uli ako.
@blessed28 nakalimutan ko sabihin. The downside nung 489 is as of now wala nang nagssponsor sa accountants. Nagclose na occupation. Baka magbukas sa july.
Hi! I just paid for the migration assessment fee for CPA Australia last week and I am in the process of completing my requirements, I have some inquiries lang. If I may ask, the request for syllabus/course description nyo, lahat ng subjects ba sa Transcript of Records ang sinubmit nyo or ung relevant subjects for Accountant lang? Thank you.

I've been reading this discussions for a while now. I am planning to try opportunities in Australia like you. I've read the site of immigration and CPAA but still I'm confused. I haven't read any age requirements and working experience but I really want to clarify it as I am newly passer and 22 years of age. I hope to receive feedbacks and learn from your experiences.
Thank you so much
