@Pyche05 when I had my assessment. Wala din ako CPA certificate. Rating certificate lang from PRC. hindi naman sya hinanap kaya di na din ako nag pasa. During the lodgement ng visa, hinanap sa akin ng agent to have it ready just incase hanapin ng CO hindi din sya hinanap. pero naka kuha namn ako kasi hindi ko pa nakuha yung akin that time kasi overseas, noong umuwi ako pick up ko lang sa PRC.

@batman@Pyche05 the prc certificate helps in recognising your qualification as equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree especially for those who studied in institutions under section 2 and 3. That’s the main purpose why it’s beneficial to present it.

Good day. Currently, I have 75 points (20 for English, 15 for education, 15 for work experience, and 25 for age). I notice that the cut off for Accountants is 80 points, meaning I am 5 points short. I am single, no partner, has no Masters, and has never been to AU. I am a CMA (US) and a Philippine CPA and from what I understand, they're also not accredited in AU. I got my assessment in CPA Australia and I am qualified to be an Associate member if I activate my membership. My question is: is being an Associate member of CPA Australia grant me additional points? Is there any other possible path for me to get the additional 5 points?
Any answer/advice will be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

@ianriv33 apply for visa 190, state will give you five points for visa 190 application. kaya 80 ka na, pipila pa muna baka may mas nauna sau na 80 at earlier nag pasa ng EOI.
associate member wont give you additional points.

@JohndAU you need to check NAATI. That’s the test you need to take. I’ve no Filipino clients who have taken it. It’s difficult and expensive as well. Not sure if it’s even worth going for it. Good luck!
Thanks for the info @RheaMARN1171933. Will check their website. Hirap lang din talaga kc wife ko for PTE at demotivated after her first take, yun sana other option nmin to hit 80 points.

By the way @RheaMARN1171933, is there any recent invite for a 75-pointer Accountant under 190? From what I've seen on immitacker, recently invited were also 80 pointers.

@JohndAU to be honest, we (agents) don’t really use/rely on the information on immitracker. 190 invites depend on the state sponsoring. The reality is, No one can really tell there chances of getting selected by the state for nomination. Once your state sponsorship is granted, the 190 invite comes automatically. The best advise I could give is the higher the points, the better and don’t be fixated with 189 Visa. Good luck!
@Pipaygee Hi. I'll try my best to give you the overview here na lang. Sa mga makakabasa po, please feel free to correct me if I get it wrong. STEPS (assuming 189 or 190 aapply-an mo ha, kasi yun ang inapplyan ko. And assuming nabasa mo na lahat ng nasa Homeaffairs at andito sa forum):
1. Take English exam. PTE pinakamadali. Aim for the superior score para makuha mo yung max points na 20. 950 AED ata bayad dito.
2. While preparing, collate all your documents. Nandun sa Homeaffairs.au yung list.
3. Once you get your result sa PTE at superior naman or satisfied ka, get a skills assessment from a recognized authority. I'm an accountant so sa CPAA ako nagpa-assess. Nandun din sa Homeaffairs yung list. Dito mo na iaattach yung documents na nacollate mo, depende sa hihingiin nila. Nasa 1k AED din ata bayad ko dito. (Di pa kasama bayad sa mga documents na nirequest ko sa school, etc..)
4. Pag okay na skills assessment mo at na-calculate mo namang pasok sa banga ang points mo (the higher the better), pwede ka na mag-submit ng Expression of Interest (EOI). Depende sa profession mo kung ilan na ang points na kailangan ngayon. Sa accountants ata 75 (though 65 ata minimum points, mga nasa 75 and above na lang ata ang naiinvite. Not too sure). Walang bayad dito.
5. Depending on your points and your profession, at kapag okay ka, makakareceive ka ng Invitation to Apply for Australian Visa. In my case mga 3 months ako nag-antay. 80 points ako.
6. Once invited, you have 60 days to lodge your visa application. Dito na yung magpapa-medical ka (please check other discussions regarding this. 1 year ang validity ng med exam results so kung uuwi ka ng pinas, dun ka na magpagawa kasi 7k php lang. Nasa Homeaffairs yung list ng accredited clinics. In my case, mej shunga, dito na ko nakapagpa-medical, sa Dubai London Clinic lang pwede, AED1,250 each) tapos magbabayad ka ng visa fee (2 kami so mga 15k AED plus)
7. Waiting game ng visa grant
If mej magulo, padouble check na lang sa mga discussions dito hehe.

@M_k_ what's your occupation? You have to check if your occupation is on the list of occupation that is eligible for skilled migration.

@batman hi i am a cpa in the phils. Thank you so much for your reaponse. Do i have to apply for migration first before i take the ielts exam? Wherecan i take it and where do i submit my intent to apply?
Hi po may general question lng po ako at sana po may makasagot po. bka nakaexperience din ng same case. Paxenxa n po at mejo mahaba. Accountant po ang profession ko po. Currently 70 points po ako sa 189 visa at 75 po(ata) sa 190. I'm planning to take PTE againm(2nd attempt) at kung papalarin makasuperior pra maka 80(189) and 85(190). Ngayon po pag 80 pts n po b ako gnu po b kalaki ang chance n mainvite ako agad? Pag po b nainvite need n agad po magpamedical ako at ng dependent ko. Pag di po b nakapag medical si hubby mababalewala po b ung invite? Kasi db po may 60 days lng to submit the application. Si hubby kasi ay Seaman. Schedule po nya bumalik sa barko ng February next year. Pero nirerequest ko po xa mag-stay pa until May kasi bka nga dumating ang invite at need n anjan xa. Pero merun din po kasi kaming mga property n hinuhulugan pa and dagdag ipon din if sumampa n xa agad. Di po nmin alam kung need b tlga xang mkapagmedical or any process related to filling ng application n kelangan nya tlga magawa pra makapag lodge kami at di ma-forfeit ung invitation. Salamat po sa mga sasagot. Sobrang mkakatulong po ito sa amin lalo n po need n po nya magreport sa December and to confirm n sasampa xa. Salamat po

@M_k_ have you actually been to the immigration website and read through the visa application process and requirements? If you haven’t, I suggest that’s the first thing you need to do before anything else to help you understand the entire process. You’ll find that the English test is one of the first things you need to do before even getting an invitation to apply for a visa. Good luck

Hi po, baka po may makashare po, Im a graduate po ng Accounting but 4 yr course lang po therefore not a CPA, ngayon po Im planning to take Master of Accounting at WA, as per my agent ang sabi po ay pathway po ito for PR, what are the chance po with this? Salamat po sa sasagot

@chenel010305 it is now but by the time you finish your course maybe it isn’t anymore. I’vevaleays been vocal about not being a fan of student Visa being a pathway to PR despite the fact that Can’t you apply for Pr visa now? You don’t need to be a CPA anyway. You just have to have a qualification equivalent to an Australian bachelor degree and have studied the mandatory subjects.

STEPS (assuming 189 or 190 aapply-an mo ha, kasi yun ang inapplyan ko. And assuming nabasa mo na lahat ng nasa Homeaffairs at andito sa forum):
1. Take English exam. PTE pinakamadali. Aim for the superior score para makuha mo yung max points na 20. 950 AED ata bayad dito.
2. While preparing, collate all your documents. Nandun sa Homeaffairs.au yung list.
3. Once you get your result sa PTE at superior naman or satisfied ka, get a skills assessment from a recognized authority. I'm an accountant so sa CPAA ako nagpa-assess. Nandun din sa Homeaffairs yung list. Dito mo na iaattach yung documents na nacollate mo, depende sa hihingiin nila. Nasa 1k AED din ata bayad ko dito. (Di pa kasama bayad sa mga documents na nirequest ko sa school, etc..)
4. Pag okay na skills assessment mo at na-calculate mo namang pasok sa banga ang points mo (the higher the better), pwede ka na mag-submit ng Expression of Interest (EOI). Depende sa profession mo kung ilan na ang points na kailangan ngayon. Sa accountants ata 75 (though 65 ata minimum points, mga nasa 75 and above na lang ata ang naiinvite. Not too sure). Walang bayad dito.
5. Depending on your points and your profession, at kapag okay ka, makakareceive ka ng Invitation to Apply for Australian Visa. In my case mga 3 months ako nag-antay. 80 points ako.
6. Once invited, you have 60 days to lodge your visa application. Dito na yung magpapa-medical ka (please check other discussions regarding this. 1 year ang validity ng med exam results so kung uuwi ka ng pinas, dun ka na magpagawa kasi 7k php lang. Nasa Homeaffairs yung list ng accredited clinics. In my case, mej shunga, dito na ko nakapagpa-medical, sa Dubai London Clinic lang pwede, AED1,250 each) tapos magbabayad ka ng visa fee (2 kami so mga 15k AED plus)
7. Waiting game ng visa grant
If mej magulo, padouble check na lang sa mga discussions dito hehe.
Good luck!
