I want to move to Singapore.

[wanderlust]

I live in Canada, and I'm only in the 11th grade. So I have lots of time to prepare before I actually get to move there.

What preparation (mostly education wise) should I do?

Hi wander are u planning to switch over to the local education system or join up with an international school? First things first, you gotta make copies of all your important documents like your IC, Education slips, passport.

Hi, thanks for your response.
I'm planning to finish high school here in Canada. But I'm wondering what kinds of qualifications I need education-wise to get a job decent job when I do move to Singapore.

(I'm thinking I'll move there in a few years)

Boy oh boy ... I wish I was so far sighted as you are ..

Well, my simple advice - finish your schooling, graduate, and see which part of the world has demand for your skills. Unless you are independent enough to plan and chart your future at this age.

At least a honors degree or masters if you want to have more job options and stand out amongst the rest.

wanderlust, are you thinking of studying at a local university?

Do a survey. Check the jobs that are in high demand that you think will still the same in the future. Pursue a degree in that field and you are ready.

Yes, at least a bachelor degree for anything white collar, and while its not absolutely necessary, some knowledge of spoken Chinese will take you a long way.
