I am looking to convert my Student Pass to an Employment Pass. My employer has hit a roadblock since I can not hold 2 passes. So they have asked me to cancel the student pass so they can continue the process for the EP.

When I went to my university to cancel the pass, I saw an option on the application stating that if I have an approval letter from the immigration without presenting a return flight, i.e. without leaving Malaysia. My company is not aware of such an approval letter.

Has anyone experienced this if so please assist.
