I want to know if there are a lot of opportunities for us dun sa mga hindi regulated na profession.

Thanks and good luck to all of us!

Hi vix! Welcome to the group.

Browse mo to http://www.workingincanada.gc.ca/cic/welcome-eng.do?lang=eng. Type mo 1111. dami nya ipapakita related occupations na nonregulated. Yung availability, depende na siguro sa province na plano mo puntahan. My relatives are in vancouver kaya dun ako nag-scout but sabi ng seniors sa forums, sa ontario daw magandang magland especially if you don't have relatives in Canada.

Pwede rin po bang pasali? Interesado rin po ako, kahit non-CPA po ako. BS Finance and Management Accounting po course ko. Pero nagwork po ako as General Accountant ng isang manning services company... Gusto ko rin pong malaman kung ano yung mga options na pwede...

Thanks!

Welcome, nikka.

According to mimi0713 in her pm to me:

"i've been making comparisons. Sabi ng mga nabasa ko na forum, pag CGA, parang bookkeeper ka lng, pag CMA, u will be making cost analyses, etc as bases in management decision-making, CA daw is the best, both in compensation and in opportunities, kasi all-around ka like CPA's d2, pwede sa commerce & industry, academe, govt, public practice, external auditors."

Sana andito rin sya.

Hello, datuganol and abilex. Sali ako dito ha?

CPA din ako jan sa Pinas pero andito ako ngayon sa Dubai nagwowork. Di pa rin ako sure ano ang plans ko. I checked CGA pero parang magastos.

Ano ba ang chances natin na makakuha ng work kahit hindi muna regulated katulad ng nabanggit ni Abilex?

Ang mahal kasi yata ng assessment fee plus ung bridging courses.

Hi meanne,

Dito rin ako Dubai, kelan mo planong magland sa canada? I am also planning to pursue CGA kaso nga lang magastos daw kaya kahit mga clerical jobs muna habang nag iipon para sa CGA. Pa update ha kung meron kang additonal info about CPAs in Canada because i am little bit scared of what will be my future job there :-[

Ung full docs ko sinubmit ko last June 28 and up to now eh waiting pa rin ako for may 2nd AOR. Tagal kasi ng processing ng London Visa office eh. Pare-pareho pala tayo ng feelings. Wala akong ideya kung anong clerical jobs ang available at kung kaya ba nito i-support yung gastos natin pag nandun na tayo. Sana dapuan tayo ng swerte para hindi mahirapan pagdating natin doon.

Anong stage na ba application mo?

Thanks abilex. your link is really helpful. I'm quiet worried about our life would be in Canada. Don't know if we will have enough income to support our family there. good luck sa atin lahat

Na issue yung visa namin with my family nung 8th June. Malapit na yan, ako nagsubmit ako ng full docs namin sa Manila Visa Office nung 13th January 2010 and it was very fast. Bakasyon muna sa Pinas for a month then off to toronto sa Sept. I'll keep you posted kung anong mangyayari sa aking job hunting doon

Goodluck sayo.....don't worry malapit na yan

Mariks, thank you sa pagpapalakas mo ng loob ko. According sa timeline ng ibang applicant s for London office it will take 2 months bago makareceive ng 2nd AOR tapos ung processing time it varies. Sana nga mapabilis. Kakastress na masyado eh.

Pag landing mo doon, ipost mo experience mo ha para makagpaghanda kami dito. Goodluck sa iyo doon pati na family mo. Balak ko din mag land sa Toronto, mas marami daw job opportunities doon eh.

 

[datuganol]

Plan ko rin sa toronto. Balikan mo kami dito sa forum mariks pag makaland kana.. share mo sa amin job hunting mo...

Wag lang daw tayo pilian sa nature of work, opportunities are everywhere. Mga relatives ko doon ay hindi naman mga professionals. Nature of work nila, sa factory, sa health work, part-time cook, security guard... but they were able to buy their own homes and vehicles. May tiyahin nga ako dun na HS Grad lang dito, nagstart dun (several years ago) as caregiver pero kabi-kabila work nya ngayon in different fields. Health worker sya at the same time ay insurance broker at may paupahang bahay/apartment. If I am not mistaken, nasa real estate din sya. Masipag nga lang talagang mag-aral. And she enjoys what she's doing.

Mariks and rizela, it seems as of now ay kayo ang mauunang makatapak sa lupa ng Canada so kayo magiging seniors namin. Please keep in touch! Goodluck to us all.
