I reckon your chances are zero, actually probably less!

I'm afraid I have to concur. R&D Engineer 4 years and still on a Q1? I can understand why you were rejected. Did you start out on an S pass?

The letter either says this or invites the applicant to re-apply after XX months or years. For repeat applicants like the OP, the second option isn't used any more. The first option means "you will never become PR, unless your circumstances change substantially."the lynx wrote:How did you know his rejection letters suggested so?beppi wrote:By already applying FOUR times, from almost the first moment you arrived, you have basically screwed up your chances for PR (and rightly so).
Your rejection letters suggested you continue to stay on with EP. Just follow that advise!

There lies the problem. There is not point in pretending that ICA did not give you any hints. Previous rejections are hints. You choose to ignore them.
I see so many people here who act surprized when their PR application is rejected. There is an element of luck, govt policies, etc but there is also a problem of Candid Self-Evaluation.
If you think you were unlucky, and you apply again n again, it may result in more failures.
Instead, make a long-term plan to upgrade your profile and then try. Thats the only way out.
No one here is an oracle. These kind of posts sound desperate and people generalize it to all Indians.
