Q: Residence Permit and WP re-apply

Hello, I have recnetly started working in china on a Z visa and got my WP and RP. The thing is I was seprated from my wife for almost two year and I took a HR postion as I wanted to reunite with her. Now after being here for 4 months I finally got offered an IT postion. This is the field that I normally work in. The new company says I need to Cancel my current WP and RP and re apply them. WIll there be any issues with this? I know I need to get an updated Background check with 6 months for the WP and i will be issued a 30 day via once this RP is cancelled. Will that 30 day visa allow me to apply for another WP? Im in good standing with this company and they should give me all the documentation I need.

WP (.. and Residence permit with it!) is tied to a certain profession at which you're working.

Once, you apply for a new job with different profession, you must do all from the beginning.

 

It is a slight chance, you can change your original profession and WP/RP while remaining in China, but I don't know more details.

 

Best for you would be to find out which Chinese org. issued WP and contact them for the guidance.

That org. used to be (before 2017 Labor law changes ...) Foreign Expert Bureau, but it was replaced by some other name org.

 

Your employer should know more about that org. because they've applied for your WP there.

You might need to get out of China and come back again. You can go to visa center in Hong Kong and re apply again. You'll need all the documents.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in releva
A:In my personal experience, teaching certificates have varied in relevance depending on the context and location. Here's a breakdown of each aspect:a) Getting the teaching job: Teaching certificates can certainly enhance your chances of securing a teaching position, especially in formal educational settings such as schools and language institutions. Many employers prefer candidates who have undergone specific training in pedagogy and instructional techniques, which these certificates often provide. However, other factors such as experience, references, and the demand for teachers in a particular area also play significant roles in the hiring process.b) Getting a higher salary than your uncertified competitors: In some cases, holding a teaching certificate can indeed lead to a higher salary compared to uncertified competitors. Many educational institutions have structured salary scales that take into account factors such as level of education, years of experience, and additional certifications. Holding a teaching certificate may place you in a higher salary bracket or make you eligible for certain salary incentives or bonuses. However, this can vary widely depending on the specific policies of the institution or organization.c) Getting promotions: Teaching certificates can be beneficial for career advancement and securing promotions within the field of education. They demonstrate a commitment to professional development and mastery of teaching skills, which are qualities that many employers value when considering candidates for leadership positions or administrative roles. Additionally, some promotions may require specific certifications or qualifications, making holding a teaching certificate essential for advancement in certain cases.Regarding which certificate yields better results, it largely depends on the specific requirements of the job market and the educational context in which you intend to work. For example:A Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) is often highly regarded in formal school settings and can be advantageous for those seeking positions in primary or secondary education.Montessori certification is valuable for individuals interested in working in Montessori schools or implementing Montessori principles in their teaching approach.A Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) certificate is particularly relevant for those seeking to teach English to non-native speakers in international contexts or language schools.Ultimately, the best certificate for you will depend on your career goals, the specific requirements of the positions you're interested in, and the preferences of potential employers in your target job market. It's essential to research the requirements and preferences of employers in your desired field and tailor your qualifications accordingly. -- ruqaiya761
