MOM will know anyway. Your current employer will need to inform MOM to cancel and your new employer will need to apply for your work pass all over again.PrimroseHill wrote:What do I have to do in the event that I change jobs?

If I recall, OP is Malaysian Chinese and makes buckets of cash (but keeps her car in Malaysia to save money!), so maybe she can just apply for PR straight away. There have been a few other Malaysian Chinese posting recently making $10k+/month salary and getting their PRs in ~6months.sundaymorningstaple wrote:I reckon applying for a PEP is a good idea, but I'm just wondering how easy that is going to be to get now.

The only problem is, she's talking about getting a new EP. This is something different than applying for PR. One is from ICA while the other is from MOM. ICA would probably grant the PR, as you have noted. Thing is, she hasn't indicated she even wants or would consider it. MOM handles the rest of 'em, and there where the company comes in.zzm9980 wrote:If I recall, OP is Malaysian Chinese and makes buckets of cash (but keeps her car in Malaysia to save money!), so maybe she can just apply for PR straight away.

I was just joking about the car. I remembered your username because of a thread about the car.PrimroseHill wrote:Thank you all for your helpful replies. I haven't yet submitted my application for PR. You guys advised me to wait for at least 6months if not 2years, so I haven't applied.
Whilst I am Malaysian, I don't live in Malaysia and I did not end up leaving my car in Malaysia either. The hassle and mountain of bureaucracy, not worth it.
Reason for asking about the EP, is that I may have to look for another position. Of course, perferably, ideally I would like to stay at my present employment.
Well, fingers cross, here's to hoping either (a) I apply and get a PR super duper quick and that solves the problem or (b) I stay where I am or (c) another job offer.
What is the PEP?
I don't think this is good advice.zzm9980 wrote:Just let the new company apply for the new EP. MOM will make sure the old pass is cancelled.
How long have you been here now? If I recall, you were in P1 salary range. I'd suggest applying for a PEP to just make everything easy for you.
Exactly, zzm. I plan to still be here after the 5years PEP period and by then, hopefully, I would have applied for PR already.zzm9980 wrote:SE has a good point, I guess it depends on your long term plans. Knowing OP plans to apply for PR eventually, she doesn't really "Wtf do i do in 5 years" drawback SE mentioned. Of course to other readers, make sure you consider that.
I personally figured when I applied if I was still here in five years I'd have applied for PR by then. Who knows what the future brings though...
You will have the bog standard of 30 days SVP after your EP is cancelled. That should give you time to pack up/move house/income tax clearance etc or to await new EP application (but remember the latter has high variable in duration)PrimroseHill wrote:Exactly, zzm.

Changing jobs isn't by choice, sometimes, it is due to cirumstances. Well, if the worse comes to worse, PEP application is it then.
Question - if I leave, I suppose, my EP will be cancelled immediately. Am I given a grace period to find another job, thus reapplying for an EP?
