I believe that was long ago... it no longer applies when I came here, so I have to go the long way and apply after I graduate and start working. And besides I'm not on a scholarship so even back then I doubt I'd get an offer. The question is will it get approved quickly, considering all the factors I mentioned above? And will the ICA accept cover letters?dynamic.dante wrote:Hmm you didnt receive any letter invitation during your O A levels?
That's unusual.
Usually students will receive letter before uni, applied PR, do NS then go to uni

Hmm I was at some homestay in Lorong Chuan from 2009-2013, in 2008 I lived somewhere else with my mom but afterwards I was in Lorong Chuan all the way till 2013. Now I stay in Jurong West in a rented place.dynamic.dante wrote:Nope.
I came 2009 doing poly.
My friend got it on 2009-2010.
So yeah, did you happen to move residence during your stay in here?
Also if you're now 21 it's really a ripe age to do NS

If they did I would have already seen it in my mailbox by now... I guess I'll wait for advice from some senior members.dynamic.dante wrote:Hmm the thing I'm not sure is that whether you can ask ICA whether they have send you a letter before.
I never tried either.

That invitation letter scheme has been curtailed, I won't be surprised if it's totally dropped now.WoShiDavid95 wrote:If they did I would have already seen it in my mailbox by now...

I never seen promises being taken seriously by ICA.WoShiDavid95 wrote: I would have preferred to become a PR far earlier, I wouldn't have minded serving NS but unfortunately the law doesn't allow it since my parents don't work here and can't apply PR for themselves and me. I'd like to ask if the ICA accepts cover letters along with the required documents? I intend to write a letter saying how much I love Singapore and how it feels more like home to me than Indonesia after living here for about a decade, and that I'll even volunteer part time in the SPF in the VSC section should my PR be approved since I never got the chance to serve NS like all my other male friends, and I feel left out as a result when they talk about it. I would still be in my mid-20s by then, so I'd still be in my physical prime..
Yes, I entered uni here on merit as I did well enough for my A levels... the EP thing is basically for anyone who has graduated from NUS/NTU/SMU, employment shouldn't be that hard provided your grades aren't horrendoussundaymorningstaple wrote:Gut feeling? You'll not get it with only 6 months of work. Yes, you might be a shoe in but at the moment all PR seem to be taking upwards of 18 to 24 months to be approved unless the person is a real winner and has something of value to give to Singapore. Are your a rocket scientist or a neuro surgeon? If not, I'll give you 50% odds of getting PR after you are employed here for two years. I can't explain it, but if you were not here on a scholarship and they let you do Uni. I doubt rather seriously you will get PR as they would have already taken into account when they let you stay for Uni how long it would take. Oh, you won't be getting an EP for 3K either (or should I say I have serious doubts as they cannot make you look like a white horse here. The fact that you are bonded means little to them. I've seen guys who couldn't get a related job after 3 years of trying so they just broke their bonds and when home. It isn't easy at the moment. Did you read today's Business Times?
