Citizenship Interview Day - Questions

[plenoptic_vox]

Hi there!

Apologies in advance for this long post - but any help would be much appreciated.

I am a Singapore PR; and my REP is valid till 2021. I applied for citizenship in January this year, and my interview is scheduled for July 2016. I have been a PR since 2011; and just recently got the REP renewed.

My question is this: let's say I quit my job in June. My notice period is 2 months. So on interview day in July, I am technically "employed". and I can get an employment letter and 6 months payslips. Should I just go to the interview and act like nothing has happened and submit my letter and payslips? Or should I tell them that I have resigned and I am on my notice period?

Apologies if this is confusing - but I just dont want to "lie" to them. I intend to stay here for life, and don't want to say or do anything that will make me look bad in front of the govt.

Any help appreciated!

do you need to be employed to apply for citizenship?
i thought thats a requirement for PRs only?

well they did ask me to come to the interview with latest 6 months payslips and an employment letter so i'm guessing it is important

You think this is a welfare state?

Do you have an offer for a new job in hand?

[plenoptic_vox]

yes, I do - so just take the new company letter as well I guess?

well i mean, someone could be retrenched due to circumstances .. or starting a new company when applying for citizenship
is that not a valid reason?

No while applying for citizenship. Why on earth would a government take in more refugees than it can handle. There's no guarantee you will find a job. If you have a signed letter of appointment with a confirmed start date, you might pull it off, but if you have anything less than that, I wouldn't give you a wooden nickle of being successful. Cripes, put yourself in their place.
