Both landlord and tenant pay half of 1 month rent to agent for 1 year lease??? Sorry it doesn't make sense to me. You only pay agent when he/she is presenting you but how come it's possible for one agent to present both? So be sure to question the agent. Like my case, I made it clear and turned out ...

In case you receive Singapore scholarship, you need to inform them (MFA) that you have done the course, ask for a flight back ticket and then only after that MOM can proceed with your EP app.

How about buying a coffee machine and do it yourself at home?
I have one Polce Gusto at home, I can make espresso, latte, capuchino, etc. In my former office, there is one two. I like both.

I bet those people never browse this forum

I dont think he is talking about tailoring the application. Basically, he is just trying to evaluate his application. If you know that having too many family members is considered a liability then might as well not apply at all instead of waiting for 1 year only to get rejected. In my friends case,...

Why do you reckon it's important? You planning to go out and buy a family exactly the same and reapply? :roll: Why it is not sir? My reasoning is that I also got asked family details but my PR was rejected in the end about a year ago. I know from here, asking for family details is a way to measure ...

Why not give a call again and tell the agent you are NOT interested in renting any more?

Also, his and his spouse family details? I think that is an important part Just wanted to update: My Colleague, Indian national working in banking under vendor payroll. Salary definitely less than 6k, applied for PR in May last year and he got it approved last week. Yeah, I was quite shocked actuall...

for your case, i guess wait for few more years after marriage or after having boy baby will have more chance

Thanks for the details

Yup, you are right, thanks JR8. I don't have a clear separation between Finance and Ops as in my former company, it is a small fund. My team (handful of dev and quants) cover pretty much all back to middle office work, from researches to operations (reconciliation and reporting) so I don't even know...

Operations and graduates? I can't say I've ever met anyone who works in Ops who is a graduate (except one guy who was head of Ops for my ex-bank in Europe). Ops requires 'street-smarts', hard work, tenacity, a drive. The last thing it needs is some up-himself fresh grad who believes the world now o...

My colleague (Vnese, not chinese race,single,female) got pr in Aug 2012 after applied for 4 months...grad from NUS, 2 years working in Singapore :) Thank hippo84. What I heard is only within my social circles, I and my friends are a bit disappointed so it's great to hear a positive story. Can you s...

I think junior positions in banks (fresh graduate, mid-entry etc.) will start with something + 'analyst'

Thanks for that. That job-spec struck me as being a typical 'Operations Clerk'. I don't see much that's 'analyst' about the role.

I heard no Vietnamese got PR since 2010 except one case but he is VN with Chinese race. I myself applied in 2011. My profile might be more like your bf (local graduate, IT field, salary about the same range, little experience) but I got married and in the end it was rejected after a year of pending....

I need to return on Sunday.
