@czams - what is your DOE? As of Sep 28 rounds, aug 16 doe is the cutoff for 70pts. And from what we've heard, around 4 days lang ang nagmove during the Oct 12 invite rounds, though wala pang official result from dibp. Hopefully, malaki movement this coming Oct 26 rounds, para magstart na din ma-invite ang mga 65 pointers.
You may refer to dibp website so you can monitor the trend:
https://www.border.gov.au/WorkinginAustralia/pages/28-september-2016-round-results.aspx
@Pretsels - yes, your diploma is required along with your tor. Suggest, you request one from your school. Madali lang naman siguro i-request.

From CPAA website: https://www.cpaaustralia.com.au/become-a-cpa/migration-assessment/skilled-employment-assessment
If you are not able to obtain an employment reference on company letterhead, a Statutory Declaration outlining the reasons for this, may be considered. You will need to include third party documentation such as taxation certificates, employment contracts, payslips, a letter from a work colleague confirming your relationship and work duties, as well as any other relevant information that verifies employment.

For education, diploma (fil and eng), TOR, PRC-BOA CPA Cert, PRC ID, board rating, PICPA Cert of membership, PICPA ID, PICPA Cert of good standing, syllabus w/ explanation from college program director sa mga subjects na magkaiba ang name bet. syllabus and TOR.
For employment, cert of employment, employment contract, pay slips (most recent 5 mos.), company IDs, calling cards, separate affidavit ng 2 kong officemates detailing our JD (same kasi kami ng position) with their company ID and calling card, screenshot ng isang independent public source (bloomberg) showing na nag-change kami ng company name (para hindi magtaka kung bakit iba ang employer sa emploment contact at sa employment cert). Sana nga sinamahan ko pa ng SSS tsaka HDMF contribution history pero late ko na nalaman na pwede pala yun.
Sana acceptable na yung mga sinend ko sa kanila.
Ayun.

Sino dito nakapagpa-assess na or waiting for result from CPA AU? Just want to ask what to do.
After sending my docs sa migration upload email, I received an automated message acknowledging their receipt of my email.
Then, after a day, I received an email from MA.comms. I was requested to resend my syllabus kasi na-convert pala siya into a Dropbox link dahil sa size (FYI, 25MB ang mail size limit ng gmail pag desktop at 20MB kung sa phone. Pag mas malaki, ia-upload ata into Dropbox or OneDrive then yung link ang ise-send ng email. Hindi ida-download ng CPA AU yung file due to security reasons).
So I resent my docs sa migrationupload email. From 2 parts, naging 3. I replied to the MA.comms email to say na na-resend ko na. I received an automated reply saying:
"If your email contained documents supporting a recent application, please allow up to 10 working days for your application to be reviewed and assessed."
My concern is, should I have resent my files sa MA.comms email instead sa migrationupload email? Btw, hindi na ako nakatanggap ng acknowledgement email nung nag-resend ako sa migrationupload email.
Sa mga nakapag-send na, did you receive a non-automated email to confirm na nakuha na nila lahat?
Thank you!
Sorry ang haba.
_________________________________________
Okay na pala.
Just received an email from MA.comms confirming na na-receive na nila at naka-pila na for assessment. Na-paranoid lang ako. Haha.
