Travel Arrangements and Health Checks
A vital note from the Immigration Department indicates that all travel expenses incurred by the recruits from their homes to the training college will be the responsibility of the candidates themselves. This stipulation emphasizes the importance of personal accountability among these future immigration officers.
Moreover, it is crucial for each selected candidate to undergo a mandatory medical examination prior to the start of the training program. This step is essential to ensure that all recruits are in good health and physically suitable to undertake the demands of their roles.
