I have a couple of queries to those who already got successful nominations from NS; I am submitting my package this week.
1. Application guide states Reference letters are required for the last 10 years of work experience
- I am not claiming points for one company/work experience that is not related to my primary NOC but this job falls within the last 10 year period. Do I still need to request this company to issue me a reference letter with all duties/responsibilities, salary, work week etc? Right now all I have with this company is the standard certificate of employment without salary, duties... It only has period of employment and position held.
What do you mean you are not claiming point for experience , i am pretty sure you wont be eligible without experience. Moreover, without job duties they will not entertain your application. please start accumulating them asap
I believe there is a misunderstanding. The candidate has work experience in more than one noc and he/she can only claim points for one noc so he/she is asking if job letters are needed for jobs which do not give you points. My work experience was in two nocs as well when I submitted my application I provided letters for all my work experience however, based on the communication with the Nominee Officer I realised that the job letter for the job outside the noc I applied in was not assessed. Based on this I believe the letter is not necessary. To support this when I completed my PR Application a job letter for the Noc outside the one I claimed points for was not requested.
2. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- My bank savings account have sufficient balance for a family of 4 in Singapore dollars currency (current residence). NS App guide states "ALL" Assets must be indicated in form 100. Does this mean I still should declare all other financial assets that I have in another currency in my home country (PHP)
but those are mostly Bonds, treasury bills, insurance accounts and time deposits which have long term maturity dates like 5,10,20 years (but can be encashed anytime with a penalty fee)? OR the savings account meeting the required amount suffice?
Yes you are requied to show all your assets even if deposits you acquire have longer maturity dates.
3. SETTLEMENT PLAN
- Can someone please help what details to put here to make it really convincing?
you can mention about cost of living, standard of living, your job is available in province, etc explore qualities of NS on google and pick from that.
To add to this if you have children talk about your plans for them and your spouse as well. This includes schooling, finding jobs. You can also talk about how you plan to get accommodations and groups you will reach out to or have reached out to about helping you to settle.
4. PASSPORT SIZE PHOTO
- App guide states it must be date stamped. So far, all my passport photos here are not having any date stamp printed on the paper photo itself. What does this date stamp means? SHould I write the date it was taken or is it necessary that it is printed on the photo paper itself?
stampe means you have to write your name passport number on the back of photos with pen.
Thanks
