Grin meron kasi akong na receive na email from one employer dun lately lang asking whether tapos na ba daw ang immigration papers ko at kung ready na ba daw ako ma relocate sa canada.. Nag apply ako dun parang two months back pa, nag tatry try lang baka sakaling may mag ka interest before landing..ayun meron naman nag rereply mangilan ngilan..

buti kapa datu, ako wla tlga ako nakuhang reply from my online applications Sad I'm in Calgary, and ang advise ng mga peeps here is get a survival job first to earn a "canadian experience" then while earning this (& cad) u can apply to your target jobs, as for me, any acctg related kahit notches lower compared to my work there, basta may acctg., for the meantime aiming for an academic upgrade, ang sabi nila dito kng wla kang education, your stuck with your work, more like satin din. I just took an exam to have a short course in quickbooks kahapon, hope ill pass para di na ko babalik sa basics pa, almost all bookkeeper job postings dito kc need ung quickbooks, nag pa asses narin ako for CGA last week, it will take upto 2 weeks to receive the assessment, and I paid 100 CAD, ouch!

hello there mjavelon!  Merry white XMAS!!!

sige lng, go on, have faith.  dami ang nagstart from scratch but look where they are now.  buti pa pala jan, cheaper ang assessment ng CGA. sa Ontario, its 401.55 CAD  Cry Cry Cry i'll be submitting my dox within this week for their evaluation.

kumusta ka jan? not feeling homesick? are u with relatives o solo flight ka?

best regards!

Hi mimi,

yup gusto ko mag CA at gusto ko bumalik sa firm for IA services (too ambitious though..hehehe..mngarap man lang lubusin na  Cheesy).. pag ok na visa hopefully nxt year, ang first thing na gagawin ko is mag enrol sa Law sa Athabasca University. Naka usap ko na rin (thru email) ung professor nila for the course sabi at kinonfirm nya na eto ung Law course for accountants na accredit ng ICAO. Then kinonfirm din eto uli ng ICAO. Ang course is online lang so it will take maximum 6 months to complete ang course. Then mag enroll for CKE Prep Program and Plan to take the CKE exam by May 2012, pag palarin diretso for SOA by June. Ang determining factor lang talaga is dapat mareceive ko ang visa nxt year at maka land ako dun by August or Sept. Of course another factor na dpat di kaligtaan is ung makahanap din agad ng work para atleast maka survive. Kaya ngayon medyo todo tipid para may pang enrol ako pagdating sa canada.

mjavelon,
Don't be sad, lahat ng paghihirap mo will pay off soon...Read my signature...hehehe... God bless sa result ng QB exam mo..

ung samin NBA throughout the process, walang nag-iba. gusto ko nga sana pumunta sa place na meron kaparehas na career para di gaano mahirapan. sana nga lumabas na visa natin para tuloy2 na planning natin. ung husband ko di din mapigilan magsalita sa ibang tao about sa plan namin. hehehehe!

Guys, share ko lang, hopefully to lift up yung mood dito sa thread somehow...
a few months back, nag create ako ng account sa workopolis using my relative's address and phone number in Edmonton, Alberta. At me mga tumawag sa relative ko ha! Yung iba pa nga makulit talaga nag-iiwan pa voice mails sa kanya to follow up. Yung isa tinawagan ko na rin lang from Dubai kasi nga yung relative ko yung kinukulitan. In the end napilitan akong edit ang profile ko sa workopolis, nilagay ko na address ko dito sa Dubai with a note na planning to move mid of next year sa Canada kc nakakahiya na rin abala sa relative ko. Ang point ko lang, meron talagang market dun pra sa ating mga accountants! Feeling positive...he,he:-) Sana nga lang pagdating natin lahat dun, makakuha agad tayo ng work. Pero bago ang lahat klangan muna ng visa....still waiting for our MR so silent reader muna ang lola nyo sa Pinoy thread natin...nakikisaya na lang sa lahat g nakakakuha ng good news/updates (MR, PPR, visa, etc.) Meanwhile, pretend munang bisi-bisihan:-)

Hi javelon! Congrats, nanjan ka na pala....me snow na ba jan ngayon, so first white Christmas mo:-)
Sige lang, apply lang ng apply kasi daw possible na me mga openings pa jan na di naman nila advertise kaya kahit survival una inaplayan mo at meron pala silang higher position possible na i-consider ka nila dun, you never know di ba. Don't loose hope at least nanjan ka na kami nga waiting pa lang visa. Nkapagpa-assess na rin ako CGA jan pero yung 2 subjects possible pa raw ma-exempt depende sa IQAS assessment so pinag-iisipan ko pa kung worth ba gawin yun at this stage (IQAS assessment). Sa sobrang tagal process ng London VO baka expired ng yung CGA assessment ko bago kami makarating dan. Ha,ha.

Uso din pala jan Quickbooks? Honor kaya nila pag ang training certificate eh galing sa ibang bansa (nasa Dubai ako)?

I'm sure after a while ang next mong balita sa amin ay.....ME TRABAHO NA AKO!!! God Bless.

Hello Datu! Grabe, ibang level na talaga ang preparation mo! He,he. Hindi na ako masyado naka-relate. Check mo yung sinabi ng isang senior na pwede ka maka-avail ng $5K (tama bang yung naalala kong figure?) education assistance from government. D ko na lang mahanap yung link pero me nabasa ako sa "Filipinos..." thread dati, check mo na lang kung me time at interesado ka.

Hopefully pag na-receive na rin namin yung MR bka pwede na rin ako magbalak ng next steps. Right now kasi nakakasayang move forward knowing na nakabitin pa rin application namin. Goodluck sa mga preparations mo at thanks for sharing in this forum. Mabuhay ka!

 @ Mimi-i know you've been helping a lot especially yung mga newbies dun sa ating Pinoy thread....great job, Girl!

Google mo lang CGA at kung saang province mo plano pumunta. nandun na lahat ng gusto mo malaman pati mga steps na dapat gawin sa gaya nating foreign educated professionals. Bawat province kasi me kanya-kanyang rules at nagkakaiba rin pati fees. Nag-post ako dati dito ng assessment ko sa CGA Alberta pero di ko alam saang province mo plan mag settle.

Sa Canada, 3 ang recognized qualifications : CA, CGA, CMA. Ang ranking nila depende kung sino kausap mo, syempre they all claim na sila yung number 1 sa field. Up to you to decide kung alin ang pursue mo depende na rin sa naging linya mo sa work and/or sa gusto mong field na i-pursue later sa Canada. Ang CGA parang equivalent ng CPA sa atin. I suggest you try do some readings din tungkol sa 3 designations na ito ang read some of the threads to give you an idea kung ano nababagay sayo. Goodluck!

Hi Mimi, ask ko pamangkin ko sa Canada pano sya padala pera sa nanay nya, ha.
Dito sa Dubai kasi nagkalat ang pwede padalhan at halos preho naman mga rates so walang hassle.

February pala plan mo....patunaw na snow so tamang-tama bago mag summer me work na:-) Single ka ba or with family na pupunta dun? Di ko na matandaan mga status...ha,ha.
