Singapore PR Application - CPF access

[SG2024XYZ]

Hi all,
Reaching out here as I have a question regarding my PR application and apparently there are some hints that could indicate that the application is in the process of getting approved.

I applied around 4 months ago and noticated that I’m able to login to CPF through Singpass after which then the following screen is shown.

Is it normal to see that or is it a positive sign indicating a successful application?

To me:

Race: Caucasian
Age: 26 yo
Duration in SG: Close to 4 yrs working, studying at NUS postgrad, interning and now fulltime working in professional advisory services.

Appreciate your input!

Wait for a while. It does seem like you have been approved!

Please have patience and don’t try to test the system.

Hi SG2024XYZ, I've been lurking on the other grps as well and found that any foreigners can login to CPF and it'll display the same as your screenshot, so I don't think it's an accurate way to know. It seems before 2021 it was a popular way of getting a "hint" so the gov may have updated their system to disallow such cases. Just be patient

I don't think it's any indication. When PR is approved, a new singpass is issued with the new IC number. Most of the old transactions do not get migrated to the new singpass.

Hi OP,

Did you apply under the new system (post 26 jun 2024)? Did ICA reach out to ask for more documents/ verification? If so, around which month?

I sponsored my husband (submitted end Aug) and they asked for one document within 2 weeks and then we haven't heard back. I heard the new system aims to process most applications within 6 months, so wondering if it's true

Hi,
I have applied in the new system post June 2024, submitted my application end of July 2024. As of now, no one has reached out for additional documents.

Also curious whether the 6 months processing time is true or whether it takes longer?

So you are one month ahead of me. As I said, we got a notification to provide a document 2 weeks after submission. Not sure if it's only one round of requests or we can expect several rounds.

Mine still shows "processing application". Is it true that it will change to "pending" before the results?

We may have "heard" the new system aims to process most PR applications with 6 months but...the system is just not old enough to be able to verify this. We'll know in the next couple of months how true this is.

I say "heard" because we are guessing this solely based on the wording on the ICA website regarding processing times, which is that all applications will be processed with 6 months. However, the caveat that some applications may take longer is still there.

However, the caveat that some applications may take longer is still there.

Therein lies the rub. They always leave a side door which basically nullifies any perceived guarantees.

@Hope99123 Your application is currently in processing status or pending status when you click on the enquire status ?

[markan123]

@SG2024XYZ Can i ask your application was in pending status or processing status the whole time when you click on the enquire status ?

[markan123]

[SG2024XYZ]

Application is still processing, no updates since submission in July 2024
