@parkuuu the CPA license definitely would help. Nagsecure ako sa PRC ng certificate of rating and certificate of grades kasi nawala rin yung original ko (nabaha hehe). Kaya yan! Habaan ang pasensya in completing the docs

Hello, yung sa tanong mo regarding rating, PRC certificate binigay ko yung naka itemized na scores since nawala din yung official result ko. Yan yung lacking requirement ko and so far, di na nag feedback ulit si cpaa.

Hello, if I may add, I had the same experience sa CPAA, I did provide the PRC certificate and PRC license ID..after 4weeks, they've responded asking for official PRC rating and grades. I would strongly encourage if you can also secure that para when you submit the documents, you are attaching everything. Its a bit tricky, normally na re-reset yung waiting game kapag incomplete yung documents. All the best!

UPDATE: nakita ko na yung PRC certificate of ratings ko omg haha
Ang kulang ko nalang is PTE Exam, pati employer testimonials. Thanks po!

Hallo, it's me again! Sorry for the stream of questions.. Medyo rare kasi yung reddit threads regarding these:
I have read na pwede ka mag submit ng multiple EOIs for 189 and 190.
Pwede ba na you have one 190 EOI per state + EOI for 189?

Hi po. Question lang po. CPA po ako pero hindi po ako galing sa top university. May bearing po ba ang school sa assessment? May chance po ba na negative yung feedback na makuha ko bc of this?
Joined: Feb 27, 2023
Hello, the assessment will base on the subjects taken and if it matches dun sa mga qualification for the ANZSCO code. Normally from my experience, even if hindi Section 1 ang school, they will combine both the CPA/PRC and the bachelors degree sa school para maging AU equivalent. All the best!

Hi, yes I believe. I have EA work experience but it still counted by CPAA.

Hi All!
Is there anyone here na hindi CPA but received a positive qualifications assessment?
Did the assessing body ask for the board exam rating? How did you respond?
If any, what did you provide in addition sa requirements nila?
Asking for a friend na accountancy graduate of PUP Sta. Mesa (i think section 1 school) pero hindi nag-board exam.
Thanks in advance for any information. And all the best sa migration plans nating lahat!
