The ICA considers the circumstance that some employers are not willing to provide the Annex A document as their employees might leave them after being granted PR status. We would suggest you try your best to convince your company due to it may increase your chances. Yet, don’t worry if they really don’t want to provide you with the document. The purpose of submitting the Annex A is to prove that you are under employed, which you can also do through other documents like pay slips and such.

Upon submission of documents, the PR application results may take at least 4 – 6 months.
