Since ayaw magbigay ng current boss ko magbigay ng employment reference?
bali ang meron lang ako is mga pay slips at contract.
Yung mga previous companies ko naman may sari-sariling mga format at ayaw gayahin ang format ni ACS.

Sa mga Singapore Permanent Residents who are AU-based na, question naman po regarding sa driving license:
Do I need to return my Singapore Driving License kapag nag renounce na ng Permanent Residency? Or can I still use it to convert to a Victoria Driving License?
Wala kasing expiry date ang SG Driving License and I read sa mga forums na lifetime daw ito. Kaso when I renounce my residency sa SG, considered cancelled/revoked na kaya yung SG Driving License ko at hindi ko na magagamit for conversion? I read kasi sa Vicroads site na kailangan hindi cancelled ang SG Driving License to be eligible for conversion.
Thanks po sa info!

magtatanung lang po re new passport. magpapa-renew ng passport yun wife at daughter ko, baka meron po makapagsabi kung anu ang dapat gawin para ma-update namin yun passport details nila once ma-receive yun bagong passport.
- kailangan ba namin magsubmit ng Form 929? San po namin isend? san din po ba pwede magpaCTC ng paspport? Nag-agency kasi kami kaya ndi namin sure kung san sa SG magpaCTC.
-meron din naman po ako nabasa dito sa forum na, ndi na kailangan magupdate at sa airport na iupdate yun details once pumasok ng Au.
Salamat in advance sa mga sasagot.

We just lodge an EOI recently and I want to prepare some of the requirements needed for dependent like me. I have been working in SG for 4 years and may I know if needed pa ng letter ng CO to get a certification of clearance or I can just go to POlice Cantonment to request COC now? nagemail na kasi Singapore Police ng application form ko and I am worried baka hindi nila ako entertain pag walk-in ako dun. Thanks!
