Ok now I've made myself look like an idiot I think I'll go and do some more research! Do you think I've got a good chance of getting and ITA with 60pts? I'll book in for my IELTS Asap

I am very newly qualified (this month) however I have read posts from a number of accountants that have submitted applications successfully by having their employer provide a letter head document stating that they have been in a role working at the same level for a number of years. Does this sound reasonable? Can anyone recommend a migration agent who understands the process for accountants? the one I spoke to had not heard of CIMA or knew the difference between management & financial accountant so I was very weary!

Really appreciate your help I was starting to go around in circles with what I needed to do. Not looking forward to the skills assessment as it's been a couple of years since I have sat an exam. Better get some practice in!

Thank you Rupert, so if I'm not applying for membership with CPA do I need to do a skills assessment with them or a similar accounting body? Eg another Exam or do they just look at the documents from CIMA and work experience and assess based on that?

Hi All, My 1st post here so please be kind! I am a newly qualified Management Accountant (CIMA) and looking to migrate to Australia with my toddler and husband. As the main visa applicant I'm hoping I can avoid the additional cost of a migration consultant and was hoping you can help. The process I was going to follow is... 1)Apply to CPA to get membership through their agreement with CIMA - I'm under the understanding that I should not need to complete an additional exam to prove my knowledge? 2)Complete an English language assessment in order to gain the extra points for SkillSelect Application: Proficient / Superior English - 20/10 pts Other points are Age 31 - 30pts Qualification - 15pts Work Experience 5-7yrs - 10pts Total - 65 / 75 pts 3) complete medical assessment 4) Submit Skill Select Application Wait for ITA for visa. Does this sound like the correct order and have I missed anything? Is there any other way I can prove superior / proficient English skills and a native English speaker? Any other advice / guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks Becky
