Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.
@danyan2001us Yup MPA din ako sa Charles Sturt Sydney, still waiting for my visa. Accounting grad din ako pero dugay na. Yan ang worry ko talaga, makaya pa kaya ng powers ko ang magmemorize. Pakitanong naman kay mrs. if pinagaralan nila ang IFRS para makapagbasabasa na ako.
Hi @guro_ako Sa Charles Sturt din ako but in Melbourne. MPA din but I am not an accounting graduate. hehe goodluck to me. November 11 na start ng school ko. Did you get the 12 units MPA or yung 16 units?

@markier87 i'm from Davao. just state your intention of studying in Australia and ask them what to do. an agent will reply to you and that same agent will be the one to assist you in the entire process.
Thanks for this. I emailed the given address pero wala pang update until now. Ganyan ba talaga? Can I follow-up them as well? I'm planning to commence my studies there by September or October 2014.
May alam kayong nagpapahiram nang show money? Yung maliit lang ang interest? Just in case my sponsorship will not push through.
Salamat!

Although if I decide not to push thru with the internship then forfeited na ang deposit.

@guro_ako Different pa po yung professional year (SMIPA). Mas expensive po yun and mas matagal although if im not mistaken night and weekend classes sya. When I researched about it mga more or less AUD10k po yata sya.
Although I am hoping na hindi ko na kelangan mag professional year kasi based sa points calculator abot na naman po ako ng 60pts once I finish my schooling so diretso apply for 189 na agad.

@ellajing aok, no need na rin siguro for the OJT kasi sa loob ng two years ng course, eh more or less nakaexperience ng magtrabaho as accountant.

@markier87 yup. medyo matagal silang nagrereply sa inquiries. 1-2 days usually. hintay2x lang. they will sure get in touch naman. i've heard about that pero wala akong kakilala. much better if magpasponsor ka na lang. di naman kelangan na sayo yung money e. you'll just be needing some documents from your sponsor (e.g. bank statements, affidavit of support, etc.).

Hi sabi ni mrs yes pinag aralan nila yong IFRS...at dagdag niya hindi problema ang accounting ..ang mahirap daw ang taxation at ang law....kaya mo yan ikaw pa hehe.....at dagdag pa niya hndi naman daw more on memorize kung hindi critical thinking and analysis....

@PampangasBest sir I am not sure re. sa IELTS niyo pero sabi ng mom in law ko, pag working visa yata (my sis in law - nurse) nung nasa process in obtaining the visa at nag expire ang IELTS nila, pinagtake sila ulit.
Pero in my own knowledge, you only have to retake kapag di okay ang result ng visa application mo and you will re-apply.

Commit to the Lord everything you do. Then your plans will succeed. Proverbs 16:3 (NIRV)
The longer you have to wait for something, the more you will appreciate it when it finally arrives. The harder you have to fight for something, the more priceless it will become when you achieve it. And the more pain you have to endure on your journey, the sweeter the arrival at your destination. All good things are worth waiting for, and worth fighting for.
