Hello everyone,

Did anybody here applied or finished the Bridging Program for Accountants offered by Edmonton Mennonite Center for New Comrers (EMCN) and North Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT)?

I just would like to know what type of Accounting exam they are giving for applicants?

Thank you

Hi Good day po! . Sana po may makasagot sa katanungan ko My mother has been working in Canada since 2011. She applied for us in a family sponsorship in 2012 which makes me a dependent child since I was 18 years old studying college at that time. I already did my medical exam . I also did my repeat x-Ray 2weeks ago. My concern is I already graduated from college last year. At noong October 2015, naging CPA na po Ako. Ngayon po, I'm wondering Kung pwede po ba akong magwork dito sa Pinas kahit na sponsored po Ako as dependent? Thank you po sa magaadvise . :)

Kumusta sa mga kapatid nating CPA, umaasa ako na mapapabilang din ako sa inyong grupo balang araw. Will be starting the DAP UBC Program this May 2016. Wala akong accounting background dahil college teaching ang trabaho ko sa Pinas. Sobra-sobrang hirap at depresyon ang pinagdadaanan pero lumalakas ang loob na magtagumpay sa bagong kakera na sinisimulan. Dun sa mga nagtatanong kung anong katumbas ng mga degrees natin, sa karanasan ko sa UBC, ang master's ko sa Pilipinas (UP) ay katumbas lang ng undergraduate degree dito. Kaya nila ako tinanggap sa DAP, UBC ay dahil may master's ako at recognize yung University. Isa kasi sa requirement sa admission ng mga prospective students ay may undergraduate degree na bago mag-apply sa DAP Program. Discriminating yung sistema kasi hindi katulad ng WES yung equivalencies. Tinanong ko dati ang UBC kung tanggap nila ang WES Assessment, hindi daw. Buti pa sa US, Australia at Europe, kinikilala ang ilang schools sa Pilipinas at tinatanggap ang mga degrees nito na katumbas nung kanila. Grabe talaga ang Canada! Feeling ko binusabos ako. Pero ayos lang, kasi sa hirap ng pinagdaanan ko dito na halos maghingalo ang aking self-esteem at parating sumsakit ang katawan (kasi nagwork bilang CLEANER at HOUSEKEEPER sa hotel), lumalakas ang loob ko na i-pursue ang bagong career kahit akoy 40+ na. Maraming stumbling block along the way (mga kakilala at minsan mga mahal sa buhay na nagsasabing bakit di ibang kurso ang aralin na mas malaki ang kita at di pa matagal ang pag-aaral, kasma na dito ang sariling pagdududa)). Pero I just have to stand tall. This is it! Pansit! Minsan nanghihinaan ng loob pero balik lang uli sa paghugot ng motivation at inspiration sa mga paghihirap dito. My misery feeds my hunger for success...

Are you doing the full 2 year course po? Kasi yung DAP is bridging to the CPA PEP program so most courses po ay pasok to become a full pledged CPA in the future.

Opo, yung full 11 courses. Hoping to finish it in a year. Plus mga 3-5 subjects para makapasok sa CPA PEP. Nakakuha na rin ako ng student loan at umaasang mabigyan ng entrance scholarship mula UBC.

Did you get credits? I'm doing the accounting diploma at BCIT hindi po sila nagrequire ng degree or anything to get in the program. Although I do have a degree back home.

No, I did not get credits. Di accounting ang background ko. Ang BA at MA ko ay sa Social Sciences. So talagang malayo. May mga econ subjects ako nung undergrad pero I doubt kung ma-credit kasi more than 10 years ago ko pa nakuha. I also wanted to re-take them para ma-refresh ang utak ko at palagay ko kailangan, para maging mahusay na accountant. Bagong career tong papasukin ko. I chose UBC, DAP kahit sobrang dami ng mga hinahanap at pinagawa, for the prestige at tsaka may choice ka na mag full-time(tapusin in a year) or part-time (basta tapos in two years time). Sana nga magwork on my favor. Goodluck to us! God bless you!

I wish you the best too, Ms. Pie! I was reminded of this saying, "Don't wait for the rain to stop, learn to dance in it!" At syempre hindi lang sumayaw sa ulan kundi mag-enjoy at ma-fulfill nito.

Bilib ako sayo Scout. You will be my inspiration sa plan ko to change my career. If you remember, I asked you how you were able to get a student loan. Baliktad naman tayo, I'm currently an accountant pero planning to switch my career to computer animation / digital arts. Hehehe... My passion is really into visual arts kasi. Papunta pa lang ako ng Canada this June. I know I will encounter a lot of struggles along the way.

Hi! Meron ba dito nagpa-assess recently ng Transcript sa CPA Alberta? Ano po documents aside from TOR ang sinubmit nyo? Need pa ba magrequest sa IQAS ng educational credential assessment exclusively for CPA Alberta? Thanks.
