My agent submitted all the documents today to CPAA for skills and employment assessment. Would like to ask if they do consider additional qualifications like CMA (US) certification? We've included some documents supporting it, on top of the usual CPA qualification we have in PHL. Too late to realize that it might delay the processing time

@chi1234 CPAA fee for migration assessment is 450 AUD. CAANZ is a little higher, no idea for IPA. processing time for CPAA I mentioned above. success rate varies and depends on your supporting documents.

Just got my ielts result. Got a 6.5 in one of the four areas pero 8.0 ang overall score ko. Do I need to retake? Nabasa ko kasi sa CPA AU, at least 7 in each area dapat. Hassle naman kasi kung kailangang umulit. T__T
Thank you!
