Depending upon your country of origin and race, you may get it rejected like your friends, or not.lot286 wrote:Hi guys
any one of you have a similar situation like mine?
i remember seeing a letter from ICA inviting me to be a Singaporean Citizen 10 years ago but i did not reply (as i was overseas) and neither, like some of my friends who wrote back to reject the invitation.
I will be applying for Singapore Citizenship soon (being 10years wiser etc). I am wondering if by not replying to the invitation, will this affect my application?
I have heard of people who have rejected the invitation and applied later, only to be rejected. but in my case, the invitation was never replied.
Then I recalled, 10 +++ years ago, those who didn't take up SC were refused REP renewal.lot286 wrote:ok. wondering if ICA blacklist all the ex-invitees...!!
Yes, and the folks who got done in were working for a large MNC IT Company here, and all migrated out of here, when the privileges that come with PR also was gone.lot286 wrote:wow. Refused REP due to turning down SCs? thats serious.
i managed to renew mine (ERP) for an additional 10 years, but i didnt refuse (i just didnt reply the mail)...maybe that's why
Nope, not that way.lot286 wrote:But i think the folks who lost their REP has more to do with the large MNC relocating elsewhere no? rather than not taking up the SC .
In principle PR is intended for future SC so if you refuse to take up SC then why to keep you on PR for ever? It's a simplification of course. There could be different reasons and different categories.lot286 wrote:thanks man. I think they sent me the mail invite 2 years after my first PR approval (5yrs) which was in 2004 (the good old days). After that i renewed once in 2007 and they gave me 10 years, which is gonna end in 2017!.
But i think the folks who lost their REP has more to do with the large MNC relocating elsewhere no? rather than not taking up the SC .

Absolute BS. However in OP case I suspect the SC application will be evaluated on it's merits at the present time against the present criteria.sundaymorningstaple wrote:I call BS on that one.ecureilx wrote:Then I recalled, 10 +++ years ago, those who didn't take up SC were refused REP renewal.lot286 wrote:ok. wondering if ICA blacklist all the ex-invitees...!!
