Chances of having a PR application approved.

[yeqimin]

Hello,

I have just been living in Singapore for the past 1 year and I have the intention of applying for PR. I know my chances would be low, but I just wanna know if there are any chances.

Nationality: Filipino
Race: Chinese
Age: 23
Current status: SP
Income: 50-60k per annum
Sector: IT
Education: degree in Computer Science

Most of my savings too are also here in Singapore because I am planning to permanently live in Singapore. LOL. Maybe I am too ambitious at this stage but I just want to know your feedback.

Thank you!

Race is Filipino, for ICA. As I have seen on the IC of few Filipino friends of Chinese Descent.

But wouldnt that be weird? I mean Filipino is not even a race.

Right

So is Indian a race ?

And is Sinhalese a race ?

If you say yes to the above (and it is true), then Filipino is a race, so it's under Other, for statistics purposes.

And the closest race Filipinos are associated with is Malay (rumour has it that the first generation Filipinos were actually classified as "MALAY" .. )

I am 99% sure you will not be seen as Chinese by ICA, again, based on Chinoy friends who have Chinese surnames... But you got a 1% chance for the Chinese thing to work in your favour That's my 2 cents.



On the other hand Indonesian Chinese here are recognised for their Chinese blood (and money??? )

If you're trying to understand how racial discrimination makes "sense," I wouldn't try. It doesn't.

Okayyy. Let's disregard the racial concerns. Back to my question, do I even stand a chance in this time? Lol

[BBCWatcher]

Your original post is confusing. Do you mean that you've been living in Singapore for eight years and that one year has elapsed since your last PR rejection? Or something else?

Did your previous PR rejection letter provide any advice on when to reapply?

Has your personal situation changed in any significant way(s) since your previous PR application? If so, are the changes positive?

If race wasn't a concern, you should have got your PR by now, considering your young age. If you are here for 8 years, did you do your schooling here? Student pass? Parents worked here? Their status? May be some clues there.

Edit: OP seems to have edited post. I am pretty sure I read that she was here for 8 years and was rejected for PR 4 times

23 minus 8 = 15. Lot of loose ends ...

Mods can reinstate the original post.

I would love to know if you think Indian is a race, seriously.

And chance ?

If you Apply, you have 1 chance.

If you don't, you have zero chance.

Are you a male or female ?

[yeqimin]

Sorry about the 8 years thing. It was wrong and misleading.

Anyway, ive been just here in sg for a year now and I'm male.

And nope Indian is not a race haha

[ecureilx]

And the 4 time application ?

And nope Indian is not a race haha

Too bad, but for Singapore, Indian is a race, and so is Filipino

Good luck.

I feel, knowing that kababayans are known to rarely mingle with locals, plus your age, it maybe working against you for now.

But try after 3 years of employment here . With 3 years income tax returns.

What's the urgency anyway ?

Im just wondering the difference between a malaysian of a chinese descent and a filipino with a chinese descent. Lol i mean it doesnt make any sense to me if they count my race as Filipino without any filipino blood lol.

Well anyway, yeah 4 times was wrong too. And regarding kababayan's, hmmm not really

It's not really urgent, im just wondering about my chances.

[voodoo-child]

Nobody knows what the chances are? People may act like they do. But no, even you won't know after getting rejected. Keep applying and good luck.

ICA strongly recommends that you wait to apply for PR (PTS scheme) until you have at least three years of income tax assessments. I agree with Ecureilx. I recommend you follow ICA's recommendation.
