Updating ICA during PR application
Hello, I recently set up my own Pte Ltd and hired myself on an Employment Pass. Now I need to update ICA of my new position and salary as I have a PR application in process.
I can't find the email address I used to use to correspond with ICA. Have they changed this process since they took their services online?

Re: Updating ICA during PR application
If there is a change in your application details such as your employment, marital status or if you have acquired higher qualifications, you can log in to e-PR system to submit the information with the necessary documents within 2 months from the submission date. Please use the "Enquiry Application Status" function in the e-PR system and click on the "Proceed to upload documents" button to furnish the documents.joannajane wrote:Hello, I recently set up my own Pte Ltd and hired myself on an Employment Pass.

All documents must be submitted online via the e-PR system.

Re: Updating ICA during PR application
Thanks singaporeflyer. I probably should've pointed out that I didn't apply via the e-PR system as my original application was back in August 2017.singaporeflyer wrote:If there is a change in your application details such as your employment, marital status or if you have acquired higher qualifications, you can log in to e-PR system to submit the information with the necessary documents within 2 months from the submission date.

Re: Updating ICA during PR application
I am wondering what happens if you have a change in status after 2 months? I got married since I submitted my PR application but the submission date is longer than 2 months ago. Does that mean it doesn't 'count' for this application?

As long as you don't get the outcome, you are allowed to update ICA and they will take that into consideration.denocorp wrote:I am wondering what happens if you have a change in status after 2 months?

But dont have too much hope, as a marriage status update will not have immediate positive impact on the application. Need to wait for at least 2 years after marriage
Re: Updating ICA during PR application
How to update ICA though? Through their E-PR website you can't, because the 'upload documents' link disappears after 2 months. You try calling them and all you get is pre-recorded messages, no humans manning the phones. I've sent them an e-mail now, fingers crossed...singaporeflyer wrote:As long as you don't get the outcome, you are allowed to update ICA and they will take that into consideration.denocorp wrote:I am wondering what happens if you have a change in status after 2 months?

I married a Singapore Citizen so I would think that boosts my chances

Re: Updating ICA during PR application
If you are married recently, that surely would not boost your chance immediately. Need to wait for 2 years or till you have a baby.denocorp wrote:How to update ICA though?

Re: Updating ICA during PR application
wouldn't the application automatically be void once the former employment pass is cancelled? (I'm assuming that they need to cancel your old employment pass first before issuing a new one?)joannajane wrote:Ok I got a reply! Hope this helps others in my situation;

Re: Updating ICA during PR application
PR application will be cancelled only if there is NO NEW EP being issued after the old employer cancels the EP.samuraibeefburger wrote:wouldn't the application automatically be void once the former employment pass is cancelled?

Re: Updating ICA during PR application
Hey, did you manage to find any more info about this? I need to update also and didn't see a method mentioned on their website (unless I totally missed it...) I would try to log in, but the wife has been super busy and hasn't had time to log in and see if the "update" button is available.Blackie80 wrote:
