Thanks a lot. Part of the requirements for skilled employment assessment was payslips though I am not sure how many they want for a 3yr working period bt I think one every quarter or half yearly will do..
Yes I checked CPA and it takes about 8weeks or so to assess. ICAA takes just 4weeks and that is why I was wondering why u chose CPA initially. .Thanks though...You've been great

Welcome

chookudi:
Sorry i have other Qs to ask concerning assessment. Is one required to provide payslips for EVERY month worked for the employment skills assessment? Concerning ICAN, should one also provide the syllabus or will the result certificate suffice? I'll like to also know how long CPA took to assess your qualifications. Thanks

I was not asked to provide payslips for EVERY month. They usually indicate the kind of evidence to buttress ur claims like employers reference letter or letter of appointment etc. About ICAN, Yes one shld provide the syllabus in addition to the certificate and also transcript . The cover page, content page, foreword and the Relevant pages of the Diet she sat for. I mean, PE 1 & 2. You don't need to include those exam stages she didn't sit for. It MUST also be Certified. As to d time it took for my assessment. Mine ws not normal, my doc were not properly certified and I initially provided General Ielts. I had to resend and re-sit. Check CPA website, they will give an indication of the time it takes. Normally, abt 8-10 weeks. Check

chookudi:
Just a few Qs for you preacher. Did you have your academic qualification and employment skills assessed at the once? why did you prefer CPA? My fiancee just passed her academic ielts (7.5 overall) and i have made a decision on her behalf to have ICAA assess her academic qualifications and employment skills because they seem to have the shortest processing time (4weeks). basically i just want you to shed more light on why you preferred CPA to IPA and ICAA. ALso do you think she needs to include her ICAN qualification together with her Accounting degree (UNILAG). I suggested she should do so to cover any loopholes

Q1. The assessing authority will ask for evidence of employment in ur chosen occupation in addition ur qualifications. They will indicate its OPTIONAL but I provided anyways. I can say yes to this question
Q2. CPA/ IPA is like ICAN/ANAN. I prefer ICAN. There is nothing wrong with either of them. CPA is more of the private sector while IPA is of the public.
Q3. Ensure tht she includes her ICAN qualification else she might not get a +ive assessment. CPA, IPA,ICAA and our ICAN are all members of IFAC, the world acct body. Remember dogs don't eat dogs.

oscarpellenchy:
if ur wife can hit 60points without claiming work experience, then she can go for it. Being nominated a state attracts some points. Do the maths and check. Age, state nomination, IELTS, qualification etc

UBKtech:
Whether State Nomination or Independent (189), she still needs a positive skills assessment before any state or territory can sponsor her. She still needs Academic Ielts band 7.

Here u have it, oscarpellenchy. Ur wife will have to need hit a 7 in all IELTS band(Academic) regardless if she is going for skills Independent or state nomination just as UBKtech clarified. General is NOT accepted for Accountants. I Initially forwarded General Ielts for my assessment and I ws later asked to provide Academic.

oscarpellenchy:
Thanks so much preacher, appreciate ur response too, do u have an idea if they accept General Stream of the IELTS in lieu of the Academics too? It's actually my wife, she has both Academic and General,since the Academic is not ok maybe they can accept the General Stream?

You will have to give more details. Which visa subclass is ur wife applying for? U mentioned her being Nominated. I guess u are talking about state nomination(SN). I don't really knw abt SN and if General IELTS is accepted. But if its subclass 189 and she is trying to get a +ive assessment and thereafter apply thru SkillSelect, she will need to get a band score of 7 IELTS(Academic) and apply to the assessing authority of her choice which I mentioned b4.

oscarpellenchy:
Una doh oh for dis house, pls I need to find out some things about the PR stuff, can someone with HND Accounting + Chartered Accountant qualification receive some good assessment/evaluation to warrant being nominated? Also IELTS of Band 6? Anybody with anything on this pls?

I believe u will receive a positive assessment especially because u are ACA. But u will need to hit a band score of 7 in ur IELTS(Academic). U can get assessed by CPA or ICAA. I used CPA. Sycapponia can be of help. He is currently doing his assessment. Goodluck

lawland:
My friend take some chill pill, everyone here got who they benefit from and in my case Jenny is the one. I am not undermining other people's contributions here as I already said kudos to them and if read my comment well, I said " one of the reasons". So pls take your comments somewhere else as am not here to fight with anyone.

My friend, I am not here to fight either. Even if u dnt mean to undermine others contributions, ur comment appeared tht way to me. Peeps here might not say it but could be thinking u are doing just tht. This is a wonderful thread, erupting wit brilliant ideas frm a lot of pple. Jst trying to ensure it stay tht way. Oneluv bro. Goodluck

lawland:
Who is this one?

Did u just ask: Who is this one? Well, someone trying to drill some truth into ur head so tht u dnt walk into every room ignorant of people's sensibilities. U can continue to STAY away if u wish

lawland:
Its good to know you are still here, I thought this thread has lost you, one of the reasons I stayed away...

Pls continue to STAY away. I tink Everyone recognizes d immense contributions of Jennykardy in this thread. There are other people in this thread whose ideas and advice have been valuable as well. I am a beneficiary of their ideas. Your statement above is a slight to their contributions and it could discourage peeps from sharing.

[quote author=jennykadry post=27271398]For potential students;

I think I mentioned this sometime ago but it wouldn't hurt to mention it again.

Nice one Jennykadry. More of this pls. Heads-up people

osnova:
cheese !.....ok..i don hear ....ur source?

m.tmz.com/

timsbee:
ok.... M FTC.







Source of dis hint or........








U forged it.

U forget ur reading glass? Didn't u see the phrase "according to TMZ"? Abi TMZ no be source?

Now we finally know what killed legendary
comedienne and Fashion Police host, Joan
Rivers. It was lack of oxygen to the brain
while under propofol
According to TMZ,
She died because she went into hypoxic
arrest during her throat procedure ...
cutting off oxygen to her brain -- but the
medical examiner is calling it a
"predictable complication."
The New York City Office of Chief
Medical Examiner released its findings
today, revealing that Joan was sedated
with Propofol during the procedure.
The investigation also revealed Joan had
the procedure to evaluate changes in
her voice and to deal with acid reflux.
Joan suffered brain damage due to lack
of oxygen. As for the "predictable
complication" ... it appears the Examiner
is saying her cause of death is simply a
risk associated with either anesthesia,
the procedure, or both.
