Thanks for the quick response. Kinda worried lately about the EP rejections I read in most of the posts in these forums.Mad Scientist wrote:IMHO , I would not think so since at that given age you have already left SG
Fairplay, patience is a virtue as they say.Mad Scientist wrote:You have replies from ICA , MOM and CMPB. Not good enough ?
To gain EP is a two part process
1. You skills is not readily available from the local pools and you have met all the necessary requirement
2. Your employer must justify this inavailability of local talent to MOM
Your employer can employ you but it is MOM that issues the pass. Capisce?

And Canada is used as an attempted stepping stone to getting a US Green Card, esp for Indians working in IT. So wouldn't surprise me if said family tried to get into the US, got bounced, hence went to UK instead...zzm9980 wrote:I will say that your parents sound like they're taking advantage of the system in every country they come to. Singapore PR , then Canada, then UK, all in ~10 years? Where are you from originally? I'm going to guess India. (don't take offense, everyone in Singapore stereotypes, so get used to it )
Cynism aside, none of it really matters much for this guy. Since it sounds like he's young, he'll have a rough time on an employment pass on its own merits unless he's got some amazing experience that the locals won't have.JR8 wrote:And Canada is used as an attempted stepping stone to getting a US Green Card, esp for Indians working in IT.

But then I'm just a grumpy old cynic...
I used to hire into the IT/Project Management sphere when I was in the US. We saw these patterns, and we made judgments upon them. So it is not simply bald cynicism...zzm9980 wrote: Cynism aside, none of it really matters much for this guy.

I'm not indian, so I won't have a problem with the racial population quota. Me and my mom migrated to Canada in search for a better life and my dad went straight to the UK for work. But after a year, it didn't quite work out so we decided to rejoin my dad in London. Eventually, we settled and became citizens. We are not abusing a system, we have contributed a lot to each country we migrated to. Being engineers, we were involved in Fullerton Hotel, Hospitals, schools and residential buildings in the UK. We paid our taxes unlike those seeking asylum and getting benefits from the govt.zzm9980 wrote:I will say that your parents sound like they're taking advantage of the system in every country they come to.

Be aware that even without NS trouble, you will have a hard time with the EP approval unless you possess some extra special skills that locals don't have. The way MOM usually determines that is by your resume/CV (which will be short at your age) and the starting base salary of the position. (You'll want a lot more than $3k/month to make a good impression on them). Also, if you are Indian, that will count against you as they have a population imbalance to fix.
Would it help if the company I'll be working for is one of the top construction companies in the world? The position offered is Site Engineer for the Singapore Sportshub project. So far, I have 1.5 years experience working in Qatar for a multibillion project. It may be a generic role but for a top company with a strong reputation in Singapore (been established in SG since the 1990s).zzm9980 wrote:Nothing to justify. What kind of role is the position for? The good marks in school won't help, and I don't believe MOM asks anything other than where you graduated. Not grades. The salary is a bit low for Singapore, so you won't qualify for P1 or P2 passes. That makes it an uphill battle for you, unless the position you're applying for is quite niche and in demand. If it's a rather generic administrative or engineering position, the lack of prior unique experience may hurt.
Never know until you try though. I'd be happy for you to prove me wrong, as it sounds like you have indeed been trying hard and done rather well for yourself so far. Keep in mind the cynicism is mostly due to people posting similar questions to yourself but very thinly veiled that they ARE generally milking the system. And not to discriminate against Indians, but it really truly almost is 100% Indians trying such schemes. Asking how to keep their PR or renew their PR while they've already moved to Australia, but want to keep their HDB (subsidized housing) so they can rent it out and such.
