Chances of getting EP

Post by lookingforaroom » Mon, 30 Apr 2007 11:36 am

Hello All,

I got a job at MNC as HR Assistant with salary SGD 3400. Its the same company where I work now in Indo. My highest education is diploma and I've been working for 7 years. How's my chance of getting the EP?

Thanks all

Have you run yourself through MOM's online qualifier? Best place to start.

Yes
They said I'm unlikely to get the EP. Is it definite?

Ethnic plays a BIG role. I played their online evaluation thing before, and if you choose "Philipines" as your ethnic, then you are very unlikely to get the visa, even you have a doctor degree, few years of experiences and pretty high salary... On another hand, if your are Chinese (such as Taiwan Chinese, Indonesia Chinese, Malaysia Chinese or Mainland Chinese etc...) and even you have normal Bachelor degree, you are very likely to get the visa...

Unfortunately I have to agree with cpa100. However, times are changing almost weekly ssooooo......... nothing ventured nothing gained.
