|
|
I have a letter of release and a new contract, and I've got to go to immigration this week to do the required stuff.
What documents do I need to bring to switch my job in-country?
And, what can I expect at immigration? |

What to expect.
1) To wait. If you did not set up an appointment. You might find yourself waiting a while.
2) Limited English. It maybe immigration but expect some confusion and frustration with language.
3) Possibly a demand for paperwork like CRC or Degree. Maybe! If previous ones are not satisfactory. The ones italicized above. If they are old, improperly done, or not legally done. They might ask for again.

ARC
passport
LOR
new contract
new employer's business registration
new employer's letter of guarantee (sponsorship form).
Application
Fees (60k for the transfer and 30k for your ARC extension).
It should take about 30 minutes after you get to the counter (the waiting time will vary depending on the day and whether or not you have an appointment time or just walk-in.
They will update your computer files and ARC (write the new details on the back) then send you on your way.
