Do you speak Tamil? That can actually help your application. Being single appears to be the only major thing that hurts you. The bigger question is, how many other Indians are you competing with for that PR slot, how does their profile stack up to yours and how many slots are available at the momen...

1% or 1000% increases ?? 1. 150% increase 2. 100% increase 3. 20% I doubt #3 will change anything no matter the dollar amount. For #2 how many locals? I know there is a number they tend to look for, from memory I think it’s minimum 4 locals. agreed, 3 is not much. No. of locals: incidentally it's e...

Hi everyone. Wanted to update here, just shy of one year since applying (6th August 2023), got a rejection letter this morning (mentioning we can continue to stay on our passes). A few changes since we applied: 1. Increase in business revenue 2. Increased staff strength (especially local) 3. Wife's ...

Hello, I had applied PR sometime ago and it was rejected. I have lived in singapore for 4 years now. I am planning to re-apply for PR and this time thinking of applying via consultancy Cayman Group Holdings. I saw ad in google regarding this Group and as per them they have success rate of 90%. Can ...

Btw, my PR Application includes 3 recommendation letters from local NUS Profs.(but I'm not sure if it matters)

Out of curiosity; how did you upload the recommendation letters? I mean under which section?

Hey everyone! Been reading a lot of posts on people applying for PR, long waits, rejections, approvals etc. My application (2nd time) was recent, submitted in August 2023 (some of you helped me with some insights in another thread I had posted, thank you again!) While I know it’s a long wait for wha...

Congratulations Hope2023! Your perseverance as quoted by many, is truly admirable and inspiring. I have a question (open to all). I have seen everyone use the word "integrate", including ICA. What does integrate imply in real-world sense? This is not a walk-thru of how to integrate, but just a few ...

But I am not recommending anything coz we don't know if it works. One big r...

One more thing you are conveniently trying to hide is your age. Based on your descriptions, it looks like both of you are around 40 or above, which can also be a problematic factor.

Oops! Just noticed. we both are 39, son is 3.5.
Out of curiosity, why is 40+ a problematic factor?

Thank you NYY1, Lisafuller for your replies. I see the REP rejection as a common reply. My wife had studied here and got her PR immediately after graduating. The REP renewal was applied on time, unfortunately ICA rejected it. Anyways, like you mentioned, best is to wait and see :) Thanks again! Whe...

From your own words, it does not seem like you are including your son in the application. Have you included your son? Anyway, i think it is going to be quite close to impossible this time, because sg does not see an ex-PR with welcoming eyes. Unless ICA can see a very good reason to forget about th...
