@answerer I am a current dependent visa holder. For a few more years at least.
Yep probation was only 2 weeks.
And I do have more things to say about the "ill-treatment", however didn't want to post that onto here.
Thanks for your reply though!

@ MandM! Okay so I agree with your point about being sure about these things beforehand, however in the position I was in there was no way for me to know things would turn out this way. The company seemed to be good, during the first 2 weeks of probation everything seemed great. The employees seemed happy, the pay, the hours, the work. These revealed to be not so good a month later.
So yes, it was my fault I made a mistake in choosing the company.

@shri
Well you would have known the answer to your questions if you had read it , but it was 2 weeks and I owe $6,500USD.
I appreciate the fact you replied, however I am NOT crafting a post to lead people into giving me responses I want to hear. If you read my post completely you would've been able to see that I was trying to give as much information about my case so that the people who read it could understand the situation better.
In that case, I would've gotten more accurate responses and not have people ask me questions (because they want to understand the post more) rather make it available firsthand and have them reply about what they think.
Permanent residency - I wasn't sure if this would affect my record i.e. could I still apply with this as an issue, was asking others if they knew if this was possible, could I still apply or if this was out of the question now.
Age - immaturity, explaining my inexperience as well as my financial and current situation. The age influences how I could handle this i.e. talking to parents, family, or if I was older if I could take out more finance or a loan.
Overseas - I mentioned this because I wanted to explain how I am not currently in the country, also in school so working the money off is impossible, also mentioned it incase I may have to go to court and wanted to see if people knew whether they could sue me abroad, or get me deported, because I was anxious about that. Also how I can't fly back
Work Environment - Okay this may have been irrelevant, but I posted this anyways to help others understand what my boss is like. In turn hoping others would understand employer personality better and see if people think my employer would actually go for it with an unstructured business and how he runs things. Also goes into employer conduct.
But yes, not trying to be snobby or a bitch. Just want you and others to understand why I mentioned the things I did. Obviously when making a decision or giving feedback, having any and all information leads to better quality feedback - don't you think? Helps think of solutions too. So yeah, thanks for your reply anyways. It puts my mind at ease.

@shri Ok so I replied to this but that message disappeared. Anyways I was just saying how it is not a cry for sympathy. I was giving all that information because each thing was relevant to the case and understanding my employer, my situation, my potential options and my work.
getting a better grasp on a problem helps to form the best solutions right? What if I just said " getting sued in hk ". People would probably ask all the questions I already answered in my post.
But thanks for your reply regardless, it does put my mind at ease. Cheers.
Good pointers @MandM! I have definitely learnt a lesson from this. And yes, it was my bad for signing the contract when I was unsure. But in that position I thought I would've been working in HK for the rest of my days but I got the opportunity to study so I had to take it.
My probation period was 2 weeks, but thanks for the other info. It's good to know. Cheers.

Thank you for the long and swift reply. It's all good information to bear in mind, most things people have mentioned and talked about on this post are things I didn't know about.
Question: Writing to employer? Would this be written from me and wouldn't this just give my employer my new address?
