Malaysian Chinese mostly stand a good chance. 8 Years in SG also plus a good point.
Why "Application submitted without the "Annex A to Form 4A" "?

Doesn't want employer to know she is applying for PR because she will probably leave the employer within a week of getting her PR if she gets it.

Let's just say I've been around here a long time and been a recruiter and an HR Mgr for over 20 years here.

Re: Evaluating for my PR application
Awesome! Then i would like to hear your expertise on my PR application. Heard of any success story for PR application without submitting Annex A? Any comment on my qualification, in terms of successful rate of getting approved?sundaymorningstaple wrote:Let's just say I've been around here a long time and been a recruiter and an HR Mgr for over 20 years here.
I just renewed my passport, do I have to inform ICA to update my passport particulars?

To me, if i could raise this question, so does ICA officer smells something. Perhaps that might be a kiss of death in this application, i might be wrong, just finger cross.
Renew passport, you have to update not only ICA on ur application, you must also update MOM, or else you might got trouble to travel out of SG.

Re: Evaluating for my PR application
Yes, forgot to address that. Yes, as Sp1d3rMan noted, you need to update both ICA & MOM as soon as possible.
Spidey, thanks for the vote of confidence.
I just realized that my previous post didn't make it!
I guess your's went up before I hit submit so the system didn't submit until I read your post, except I didn't notice it. Lost two paragraphs.

You have been here for half a dozen years, when to school here and being a M'sian, you would have assimilated well. The income is a bit on the low side but to offset that is the fact that demographically speaking you are one of the 'chosen' ones and being a young SCF to boot, should go a long way toward offsetting the salary issue. Additionally, they will know that the current employer is probably abusing from a salary point of view and once you get PR will probably look for a better employer.
The Annex A was often used in the past to retain an employee who was being underpaid and knew it. The employer would refuse to sign the Annex A, thereby causing a situation that prevented a person from apply for PR. (The employers knew that if the Annex A was signed and the PR was granted the employee would quit almost on the spot). So, MOM finally realized the futility of the Annex A and made the requirement of 6 months pay vouchers sufficient. Of course, having that AND the Annex A is better, but it is of no consequence if you apply without it, provided all else is there.

Re: RE: Re: Evaluating for my PR application
100% true, from my experience too.So, MOM finally realized the futility of the Annex A and made the requirement of 6 months pay vouchers sufficient. Of course, having that AND the Annex A is better, but it is of no consequence if you apply without it, provided all else is there.
And Don't forget those employers trying to get a bond enforced just to sign the annex A.

And thank to SMS for your experience sharing. Crossing 7 months soon, hopefully i could get a response soon, be it a rejection or approval. Hate of waiting, XD
By the way, how can i inform ICA about the passport particulars, go down to ICA building personally or updating can be done through online?

Re: Evaluating for my PR application
The letter you were handed when you applied for PR includes ICA's contact information. One option is to e-mail ICA a scanned copy of your new passport's data page, referencing your application number. Mailing a copy via SingPost also works. If they want something more they'll be in touch.

Sincere and honest question - Why reference number ?BBCWatcher wrote:The letter you were handed when you applied for PR includes ICA's contact information.

You mean ICA can't work with the EP # ?

Re: Evaluating for my PR application
ICA posts their contact details here and here.angelofhell215 wrote:What happened if i lost that letter but i still remember the reference number? Does anyone here had the ICA contact information?
Because that's the number ICA gave you and asked you to reference in any future communications with them about your PR application. However, if you don't have your reference number you have a couple options:ecureilx wrote:Why reference number ? You mean ICA can't work with the EP # ?
1. Log onto iEnquiry with your SingPass and look up your reference number.
2. Failing that, provide reasonable information to make it as easy as possible for ICA to locate your PR application. Your FIN is an important element, yes.
