While waiting for our skill assessment & IELTS results, I've started doing some research na po for our SS application so we can apply immediately the moment we received our approval. I have few queries po regarding sa mga questions sa WA SS application, I hope someone will be able to shed a light on this:
1. Where will these funds come from? - can I put Savings Account & CPF (central provident fund - its like a mandatory savings for singapore PR)? Coz half of our savings are actually in our CPF. We will withdraw this money when we leave Singapore. Or mas safe ilagay na "savings account" nalang?
2. Job Offer details. We don't have any job offer yet. Would it be suffice to just provide job opening links which are related to our nominated occupation? I have read on the previous posts na they have actually indicate some job opening sites, not sure though, if they were referring to this question.
3. Do you have any evidence that your skill is in long-term demand in your
region or preference? What kind of evidence you have provided for this question? Do we need to search for an article/news pertaining to the demands of our job in Western Australia? Any advise po for this.
Thank soo much in advance for your anticipated help. God bless us all.
