Same tayo datuganol, pag nagbakasyon na lang din ako mag-update ng membership ko sa PICPA. I tried here in Dubai Chapter pero walang response ung ibang member. Wala rin kasi sila permanet na office dito. Ang sabi naman if kukuhanin mo in person sa Shaw Blvd Office, mabilis. kaya na un ng one day na lakaran pag nagbakasyon...

Hay,,,,wala pa rin tayong update....Sana naman sa mga susunod na araw magmilagro na bumilis ang update. Even yung request ko na change of mailing address, wala ring reply and update :(.

madali nga daw CGA kaso ang mahal po ng subjects!!!!!!!!! parang 9 ata kuhanin natin eh!

pag nag CA naman tau we just have to take up 1 subject, canadian business law, then OJT sa approved training office 3 years. d bottleneck is kng madali lng mkpasok ??? ??? ???

hi sis, nag babakasyon ako ngayon dito sa cotabato, been staying here since Sept., rest muna, kung baga, calm before the storm :-[, buti ka pa may partner ka punta dun, ako, Im a lone soldier....., gnon ba, mas madali pala ang CA, so what's the disadvantage of CA compared to CGA on our part...?

tanong ko lang how much annual dues natin sa picpa. di pako nagbabayad since 2006.

PICPA annual membership fee is only P1,000. FYI lang, PICPA now has a reinstatement program. If you are delinquent in paying your annual dues for more than one year, P2,000 lang ang babayaran + P1,000 for the membership for the current year. So kung matagal nang di nakakabayad, you just have to pay P3,000 and then that's it, updated na ang membership. I got this info from the statement of account from PICPA that I received last august 2010.

andito ka pala ngayon? cge, namnamin mo hangin ng cotabato at di mo tlga yan mababaon pagpunta canada ;D

don ka na mghanap ng partner sa canada, hehe. colorful mga lahi don. ;D dami kang choices.

sabi sa nbabsa ko na forum maganda ang CA lalo na kng CPA ka from the phils. nag email ako sa ICAO for evaluation and they replied na naevaluate na nila ang PICPA. apparently, they do not evaluate school transcripts like CGA, but professional body tlga. so, take up na lng ng course on canadian business law then get training from an approved CA training office. so i think, di masyado magastos compared with studying 9 courses to pursue CGA.

but here's the catch, very stiff ang competition ng mga student trainees. mahirap daw tlga makapasok sa training office. i've read one story from a pinoy immigrant sa toronto na more than 40 resumes na daw pinasa nya sa mga training offices, but not even one called her for an interview. kaya nag shift sya ng gears enroute CGA.

sabi ng ibang forumers, 2 from out 3 years training ay field work, u have to really go to ur clients' business locations. i dont think kayanin ko kasi i dont know how to drive plus the weather.

what's good with CGA is that u can study from home. so u can still work full time and study part time. yun nga lng, nabasa ko schedule of course fees nila for 2010-2011 and each subject ranges between CND$ 660-1280 excluding taxes! buti lng sna kng willing ang employer mo na i-shoulder yng expenses, and if that's d case, nakatali ka naman sa kanila for a period.

balak ko sanang magpa evaluate sa CGA ontario to have an official evaluation. it would cost more than CND $400. while free ang transcript evaluation ng CMA and CA.

teka nga pala,saan balak mo magland?

Hi Everyone,

I'm just a newbie here.
Just done our medical send on Sept 30. Still waiting for PPR
I'm glad to find this forum. I'm a CPA currently taking up CMA.
Is it recognize in Canada?

Thanks!!!
Good luck and God bless to all of us!!!
 
yeydme,

Welcome. San VO mo, manila?

CMA from CIMA ba tinutukoy mo? I think there is a reciprocity for that in Canada. Pero kailangan parin ng evaluation from the CMA Institution. And still you have to undergo the programs required to be certified in Canada. In essence, this is just my thought, they will give less value to our foreign certification.
