1. How was the background check goes (is it through consultancy or client).

Very stringent. MOM usually has their own teams, otherwise, hired guns in the country you are from.

2. He got 1 yr contract with Citibank, is it good to accept?

Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. Most are one year contracts.

3. He was a bachelor, and the company offered S$4000 per month, is it enough?

Yes - others will say you need more, but getting in the door it the important thing - especially when your grammer needs work.

4. How the EP gets approved?

After all the background checks are done.

Is there any verification goes when he apply to permanent EP?

There is no such thing as permanent EP.

5. What is the main criteria to get the permanent EP approved?

See Above

6. If you know anything about Citibank, please let us know.

It's a Full Service Bank.


Thanks in advance..

Yeah, it annoys me as well. Usually I catch it with the spell checker but now & again, it slips through! :oops:
