Nobody knows, especially your kind of profile is hard to tell. You wouldn't know unless you apply. Your case is surely not a case of waste of time and money, unless you are not really serious about making this place your home.whasAGoodPR wrote:Ofcourse it does not say so on the official pages, but practically is that the new rule of thumb to follow.
For example, I make 10.5 k per month currently, should I wait until I reach a salary of 12k+ per month?
Given I am an Indian and we are not the most popular guys (from what I read on the forums). What would be your advice?
I do have a MS from US and am have work published in Journals and conferences. But have left the research track and in IT (though would love to go back .. I digress)
Do the degree and publications matter at all?
Also, it is quite tough to find a statement on what really is the government looking in a PR. If I knew and I did not fit in, I would not bother applying and save every ones time and some of my money .
Wonder what would be the answer to:
What is a good PR?
You are spoiling your wife's career. A doctor's degree is very hardwork in India and once someone has the degree, its a crime to waste the talent. Money is not everything in life. Give this a deep thought!whasAGoodPR wrote:Thanks,
Can't do anything about my race.
Can do something about my salary as I am pretty close,
My wife's from the medical profession but will have to study here to work here. She will probably make more than me if we are able to pull through her education fees and the long 3 years. but the risks are too high, the education is too expensive for foreigners and esp the medical ones. Very strange laws... if I were a Singaporean I would rather have my wife as a citizen, she is more qualified IMHO (sadly there is a blanket unrecognized tag).
We are on the right track as far as the kids go.
Also, I figure IT is not a wrok stream being encouraged currently. However, I do not see many research based opportunities in Computer Science too. So we don't like computers in Singapore anymore ? (kidding)
So I think, you just saved me some money this year
My personal opinion is that this is indeed the salary guideline now. Of course, other positive factors weigh in accordingly. Male children and/or Malaysian Chinese genes will lower the salary requirement.whasAGoodPR wrote:Ofcourse it does not say so on the official pages, but practically is that the new rule of thumb to follow.
Therefore, prior to the PEP (Personal Employment Pass) the stepping stone to PR was time based for the lower grades, or meeting the requirements for P1. I personally still think P1s have a good chance even with an 8~10K salay, IF there are not significant negatives to offset the salary requirements (e.g., age, race, etc.) Obviously having several positives in those categories could offset some things, like length of time here, etc.MOM does not have a list of approved institutions. Possessing an acceptable qualification does not automatically guarantee a successful Employment Pass application, as the applicant may need to satisfy other criteria, such as qualifying salary or professional skills.
Similarly, applicants who do not possess an acceptable qualification may not necessarily be rejected for Employment Pass. MOM will consider, on a case-by-case basis, applicants with proven track records and exceptional skills-set, but who may not have the qualifications required by the enhanced Employment Pass framework.
not necessary for her to study to work as a medical professional, if she is from one of the recognised Unis, and if she is not, still she can start off as a MO, unless she is / was working at a very higher level .. or she doesn't want to lower her standards ..whasAGoodPR wrote:

Foreign doctors earn much less than the local counterparts, unless they have UK/US qualifications .. (and - read -> especially Asian doctors .. )whasAGoodPR wrote:

what is this 3 years studies you are talking about ?whasAGoodPR wrote:

Well, subjective and speculative .. let me ask you this question - with my tongue in cheek - firmly - Does she speak Mandarin / Hokkein / Teochew and / or Malay ?whasAGoodPR wrote:

Yes sir, I should have qualified my note with "Doctors from Asia"sundaymorningstaple wrote:Squirrel, I doubt seriously all the western docs at Gleneagles, et. al. speak all those languages you name. In fact, I reckon they don't speak any of them 'cept English.
