LPR vs EPEC

[majorprob]

Hi all,
I have been a silent follower of this forum and several others which advice about singapore jobs and visa's. I have a few questions about the two types of visa's mentioned.
My question is Can I apply for both at the same time? I have qualifications from a university which is recognized for EPEC grant. But I wanted to apply for LPR as well but have herad that it might take some time to get finalized (granted or refused) because of the current situtaion. Say if I apply for LPR first, will it reduce my chnaces of been given EPEC or vice versa?

Thanks heaps,
Majorprob

Bumping the thread up. Is there no one with any idea?

Hi,

Yes you apply for both at the same time, because:

PEP is given by MOM
LPR is given by the ICA

Both have their own agenda. I read about a guy who applied form both and got it both

Thanks for your reply. But I was talking about EPEC- Employment Pass Eligibility Certificate, not PEP. I think PEP is some type of EP. I am a fresh Graduate and wanted to look for jobs in Singapore, hence wanted to know which is a better route -EPEC or LPR.

EPEC and LPR are not related but since you graduated from one of the listed universities go ahead and give it a try there's no processing fee.but LPR i think you likely to pay around 1.5k and it's based on your own merit.. quite risky


good luck!

sorry!

I meant EPEC intstead of PEP. Anyway, both are given by MOM, so both can be applied for at the same time as the LPR.

Yesterday there was a guy approved for LPR after 3 months and 2 weeks, it is possible!
