Hi @liza01! Thanks for sharing your experience. Pwede bang malaman kung kailan mo ito ginawa (just month and year)? Negative yung result ko from CAANZ and their review/appeal form states: (Changes to/or additional job description/task list provided in your previous work reference letter for same employment period will not be accepted). Costs $170 to file an appeal Wondering if I need a migration agent to help write an appeal letter. Thanks in advance!

For skilled employment assessment, pag closed na po yung company so need po magprovide ng stat dec ndi po ba, so along with employment reference letter attached yung stat dec po ba pag nagpaassess sa assessing body?

Required din po ba ang Skilled Employment assessment for partners? Initially, i thought ay suitable Qualification assessment lang ang required.

Hi guys
Does anyone here have experience in the PH as an external auditor who found work as an accountant dito sa AU? Mag 1 yr na kasi ako in my accounting role pero just recently ko lang narealise na iba pala ang occupation group ng accountant at external auditor. As such, di ko magagamit ung 1yr experience sa visa application ko, if yung external audit ang occupation na inonominate ko. Does anyone know of someone in this situation? I was really hinging on this accounting job to give me additional 5 pero parang unlikely na. Kinakabahan na tuloy ako kasi 95 yung points minimum recently and 90 pa ako.. I have already scheduled my NAATI ahead of time such that by the time makapasa ako sa NAATI, my 100 points na ako, ;(

Alin area po kaya madaming opportunies para sakin? Brisbane or Sunshine Coast sana plan nmin kasi mas mura tuition and cost of living. Thank you po sa pagsagot

Hello Po, my wife is taking Professional accounting master's here sa Perth (graduating). She graduated Business Administration w/ Master's degree Management. She is planning to take CPA assessment para gamitin for PR application (graduate stream or general stream). We have a business w/ atleast 40 employees since 2010-2015. She handled payroll, finance accounting & reporting, tax filing.
Do you think she's qualified for assessment.
Accountant (General) - 221111

Please advice.
Thank you!

Hi. I am a CPA dito sa Pilipinas with 4 years of experience (external auditor and management accountant) and is getting married to Australian permanent resident (South Australia). I plan to get an accreditation in CPA australia using membership pathway para di sayang yung pinagtapos ko sa Pilipinas.
Just want to ask if I become a member, can I practice the profession without any restriction even if I migrated using Partner Visa and not the skilled migrant visa? Medyo mas mahirap kunin yung skilled migrant visa as compared to Partner Visa kasi.
Also, is it okay to get study/get accreditation for CPA australia while already residing in Australia?
Thanks in advance po sasagot. Needed lang talaga ng enlightenment regarding dito.

AFIK, walang agreement ang CPAA with PICPA, so walang direct pathway to become a full member of CPAA. CPA din ako sa pinas, and how i wish meron nun para naka save ako ng pera, but sadly, wala 😂.
So, you need to start as an Associate (ASA) member tpos complete the CPA program. Ang pakonsuelo pala is yung sa experience requirement. You just have to submit a Letter of Good Standing from PICPA para exempted kana.
You can start your CPA program regardless of your current place since computerized naman yung exams.

If you’re migrating there as a partner instead as a skilled migrant, there is no urgent need to do the CPA accreditation. Recruitment in Australia vs Philippines is slightly different. Over there, it’s not more what you’ve studied, whether you’re CPA or not, it’s more if what experience you could bring in.

Hello po. Sino dito nakapag pa assess sa CPAA for visa 189? Alin po dito pipiliin? Full skills assessment: Points tested and employer sponsored visas OR Skilled employment assessment: Optional – requires 'Suitable' outcome for full skills assessment. Thank you po sasagot.
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
Full skills assessment is required for migration purposes. If the applicant is claiming points on work experience, best to also apply for skilled employment assessment.
