I have been reading this forum for quite sometimes now, but this is my first post to seek advice from the experts or those who have gone through what I am going through. so please share your experiences with me!

Just a little background, I've been here since 2007, completed PSLE, O levels and now, soon to be graduating from Ngee Ann Poly. Oh btw, I'm a Vietnamese. I was not offered an invitation letter during my course of studies here and have never tried to apply for one. And currently on tuition bond which requires me to work in SG for 3 years, so i am currently on an active job search, but seems to be facing difficulty of being foreigner, and companies are required to apply S/Epass for me? so my qns is:
1. Should i make an e-appt with ICA and apply for PR without any work passes (yet)? What are my chances?
2. Or should I just wait 6 mths to 1 year after obtaining a valid work pass then to apply for PR??
My parents are both Vietnamese. My local sponsor is my aunt, who has settled down in SG for over 20 years now. Does that help?
If you are wondering, why am I so kanchiong, it's coz I am in a relationship for 6 years now. My bf and i were from the same secondary school. And we did a lot of future plannings tgt like: doing degrees tgt once Im a PR so my school fees would be cheaper. and ofc having an CPF account so we can use that when applying for BTO tgt in the near future.
I'm sorry that this is a lengthy post but it would mean a lot to me if you could share your advices with me!
Thank you so much in advance, and have a great day ahead!
