Accountant

Bigfoot · October 2013

Ma'am, when you fill-up the application for migration assessment there's a question whether you also want them to assess your credentials for membership. The same documents will be used for migration and membership assessment, including the IELTS Academic rating (at least 7 in all bands).

Nagpaassess kc friend ko at ang result e comparable lng daw natapos nya sa isang associate degree thus, di cya pede mag-apply for skilled migration under Accountant (General). bakit ganun, la khit isa nacredit sa subjects nya.

@nathalie06, nde ko maintindihan kung baket associate degree lang ang ibinigay sa kanya. sa tingin ko namn e binigay nya lahat ng required syllabus. i suggest mag-appeal sya sa assessing agency nya. teka, ano bang assessing body nya?

nathalie06 · October 2013

@pangrom0529 cpaa. Yes, ngsubmit cya ng complete requirements kya nga nagulat din ako bakit khit isa wla na credit. as in result ng assessment is 0/12 nung core subjects. At sabi dun associate degree lng daw equivalent ng degree nya. Definitely mag aappeal cya. Just want to know here kung me same case ba coming from the same school. Tks

OT (sorry) magkaiba po ba ang academic qualification assessment ng CPAA for migration sa assessment for CPAA membership?

Ma'am, parehas lang po.

caylin · October 2013

@Bigfoot, thanks. Pano po kaya iproprocess for CPAA membership gamit yung previous assessment? nag-inquire kasi ako sa CPAA. sinabi ko naman na may previous assessment na ako pero ang advise eh magpa assess daw ako.

hi @caylin, nung nagpamember kme last august, ang sabi lang naman samen e send copies of 100 points of identification and ung application form. we then paid thru credit card for the membership at assessment fees. tapos option mo kung gusto mo i-attach ung positive migration assessment letter. ung reference ID mo (987xxxx for me) is the same number na i-quote mo for all correspondence. they will check it. sa case namen ng wife ko, we did not attach any academic qualification and professional membership docs kasi recent assessment lang kme (wife's assessment-January).

kelan ka ba nagpa-assess for migration?

caylin · October 2013

@pangrom0529, ah. so ibang payment ulit for the membership assessment. nung december2012 ung migration assessment ko. thanks.

Hi Guys!

I'm a newbie here. I find this forum very helpful.

I have questions po regarding the documents to be submitted to ICAA. I'm currently preparing for IELTS and collating all the required documents for ICAA migration assessment, at the same time. My question is very strict po ba ang ICAA when it comes to the submitted documents? I recently requested course outlines and syllabus of the specific accounting and finance subjects, fortunately my school has accomodated my request and was able to pick up the documents in just after a couple of days. However, I noticed that each copy that was given to me was already certified by our college dean (kaya pala napamahal ako). As per ICAA website:

The person/agent certifying your documents must confirm that they have seen and compared the original to the copy that they are certifying and that it is a true copy. The full name, address, signature and title of the person/agent certifying the documents must be included as part of the certification.

Accepted authorities for certifying documents in Australia:

Australian Chartered Accountant/Australian CPA (must include membership number)
Australian embassy/consulate/high commission staff
University official (must include university stamp in addition to signature)
Notary public
Solicitor, legal practitioner, Magistrate
Justice of the Peace
Commissioner for declarations
Commissioner for affidavits
Commissioner of oaths
Migration agent, registered with the Migration Agents Registration Authority (must included registration number)
Police office (in Australia only)
Pharmacist (in Australia only)
Postal Manager (in Australia only)

For overseas authorities please refer to the public notary within your country.

Please note that the Institute reserves the right to request original documentation if required or deemed necessary.

Based from the requirements above, notary public lang po ba ang pwede mag certify ng documents originating from countries outside Australia?

May naka experience na po ba dito na nagpa assess with ICAA na school dean or registrar po ang nag certify with positive results?

Thank you!

@caylin, oo dagdag bayad. $315 total ko binayaran. $165 for half yr membership at $150 for assessment. pero nxt yr, $330 ang full yr membership. feeling ko no need to send all docs. kung gusto mo attached kna lng ng ctc nung positive migration assessment.

pangrom0529 · October 2013

@Dayanski, ok lng na certified ng university kasi sila namn talaga ang gagawa nun, tsaka nde namn sila magrerelease ng original. dapat may dry seal ung syllabi. ung cpa licence (id and certificate) mo naman, prc ang mag-certify with doc stamps. tip lang, if sa ICAA ka pa-assess, chances are, dun ka na rin kukuha ng exams. kasi kung plan mo mag-cpa, CPAA dapat. if suddenly you change your mind, kelangan mo ulit magpasa ng same docs to CPAA. sa ICAA kasi chartered accountant ang designation. i believe the scheme to get the license for CA e may classroom discussion at group works on top of the exams. pero mas prestige ang CA kesa CPA when it comes to employment and career. kaya make sure to know what you want to get.

Anyone here who is a member of professional organization recognized by CPA Australia, tapos nagpamember sa CPA Australia via mutual recognition agreement?

Full-fledged Member kasi ako ng Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants ISCA (formerly Institute of CPAs in Singapore). May mutual recognition agreement between CPA Australia and ISCA

Gusto ko lang sana matanong kung associate ba or full fledged CPA membership ang ibibigay kung sakaling mag apply ako sa CPA Australia.

Yung nakalagay kasi sa application form na membership fee, if approved, is the same as the membership fee for full CPA. Isang amount lang ng membership fee ang nakalagay,

pangrom0529 · October 2013

@rolly04, I'm not sure pero ang pagkakaintindi ko e magbabayad ka pa rn ng membership regardless kung sang membership ka galing. ang question ata e kung magtake ka pa ng Professional level exams. magemail kna lng sa cpaa at explain mo na ca ka in Singapore.

rolly04 · October 2013

@pangrom0529 thanks.

yes, i need to pay membership fee separately for CPA Australia and ISCA, i agree.

Unfortunately, CPA Australia cannot advise by telephone or email whether or not an applicant is eligible for exemptions or membership. Nag email ako once, but they required me to submit a membership application.

Nagbabakasakali ako dito sa forum baka may same case sa akin.

pangrom0529 · October 2013

@rolly04 oh I see. are you in Singapore now? if you are, you can drop by at their local office there and ask personally. un nga lng kasi ang haharap sau e nde namn ata assessor kaya cguro ang advice nila e mag-aapply kna lng at see what the membership adviser would say. goodluck!

rolly04 · October 2013

@pangrom0529 oo nandito pa ako sg, sa april 2014 pa ako lilipat sa melbourne. salamat uli.

mitchy_cpa · October 2013

Anyone here nagpa-assess sa CPAA recently? How long did it take bago nyo nakuha yung result? Possible ba na magsend sila ng scanned copy ng results habang inaantay yung mail?

Thank you!

jcal149 · October 2013

Anyone here na nagpa skill assessment through ICAA? How long bago niyo na-receive yung letter of Assessment from them?

I recently had my Skills and Work (Combined Assessment) assessed by ICAA and per status sa website nila Completed na kaso inaantay ko pa yung actual letter from them para makapag proceed ako ng EOI, granting positive ang outcome. Per inquiry snail mail by post ang method of delivery nila. Usually gano katagal bago ma-receive dito sa Pinas?

Sir @TasBurrFoot napansin ko yung sa wife nyo may result na from CPAA in just a month. Gano katagal nyo inantay nung outcome? By regular post din pa sila magpadala ng assessment?

Thank you!

@mitchy_cpa, current processing time nila per website is 8wks. once they're done with the assessment, they will send a ctc of your result thru email. in my case, within the day. ung wife ko, nde binigyan ng ctc. but i received the original letter in 7 business days. ung sa wife ko, mga 21 calendar days. naging efficient na ata sila lately. had my assessment last mar. got my letter last wk of May or early June. magkaiba pa ung assessment ng education at experience. pero nde ko na inantay ung orig bago ako gumawa ng eoi. need ko lng namn e malaman kung ok. kasi unahan sa eoi e. hehehhee.

pangrom0529 · October 2013

@rolly04 punta ka na ng maaga. the earlier, the better. para madali mo rin matapos ang residency. hehehehe. excited lng maging citizen. btw, ung cv mo, lagyan mo ng visa status para makita nila na pr kna. they categorically looked into that.

I didn't know they send out a scanned copy na ngayon... Previously kasi when I saw in the online portal of CPAA that the results were already finalized, I called them up to ask for a scan copy. Unfortunately sabi they don't do that and I have no choice but to wait for the hard copy. This was more than a year ago.

we got the hard copy of the outcome via regular post; dumating sya sa singapore a week after the date that was printer in the outcome letter...

jcal149 · October 2013

Thank you Sir @TasBurrFoot!

I also sent an inquiry sa Customer Service ng ICAA and sabi nila di sila nagpapadala ng result electronically kaya kelangan talaga to wait for the letter itself. For info na rin sa ibang naka experience or nagpapa assess tru ICAA.

mitchy_cpa · October 2013

Thank you! I am crossing my fingers na sana positive assessment and mabilis ang processing : )

I just realised (after sending the assessment docs) that I can apply and pay online pala and then send the supporting docs later. What we did is the mano-mano way, filled out the application form and then send everything to CPAA. Anyone here have done this? Were you contacted by CPAA upon receipt of docs or the assessment is completed?

Maraming salamat!

Errr, di ko na gets ibig mo sabihin...

What we did was create a log-in sa CPA Australia and paid for the assessment; an hour later, we sent the paper documents to Melbourne...

No confirmation was given to us that they have received the documents.

We did not create the log-in details. We filled out the form electronically then print it, tapos mail it together with the supporting docs.

I tried creating a log-in details kaso magbabayad pala, eh dun sa form na ni-fill out namin meron ng authorization form to charge our card. Baka madoble ang charging.

Just leave it as it is... Wala ka na magawa for now.

You may try to get in touch with them 2 wks after passing your papers.
