SC application
SC application
Hi I have a question regarding my SC application,
I am a Singapore PR and have applied for a Singapore Citizenship. Last week after 8 months of SC application (still waiting for IPA), I received an invitation letter from PA (People association) and National Integration Council to attend a chit chat session and also some activities. Is it the way ICA nowadays to access its candidate for SC? or it is normal for them to invite a Singapore PR for this event? I have been a Singapore PR for 4 years and they have never invited me for this kind of event or activity before. Hopefully, someone on this forum could give some information or have a similar situation as me.
Thank you

Re: SC application
First time we are hearing about such an invitation. I think this can be a positive sign.amanda85 wrote:Hi I have a question regarding my SC application,

PA recruiting .. obvious targets are PRs and SCs ..
Somewhere along the way, ICA added your IC to the Database, (hope you didn't chose DNC .. ) .. happens ..
Re: SC application
I am Malaysian Chinese. Well I just wonder why i suddenly receive this kind of invitation out of the blue. Since I have been a Singapore Pr since 4 years ago and lived in Singapore since 10 years ago and never received this kind of invitation ever. Maybe I am really under their radar before and now since I applied for SC I am on their database again

PA/NIC has been doing this for a while.
Especially PA.
Anyway as Malaysian, you have good chance for SC.
Good luck.
Re: SC application
Me too received same invitation from Kembangan Chai-Chee CC. That's an advertisements. Nothing else.
Re: SC application
So did you join any of their activity or chit chat session in the end? and are you receiving this one also after applying your SC? Thanks anyway for the info!ilyaz23 wrote:Me too received same invitation from Kembangan Chai-Chee CC. That's an advertisements. Nothing else.
Re: SC application
I submitted SC application on Feb'16 together with my family. My SC application rejected on 11 May'17. I submitted an appeal on 16 May'17. I received the invitation to chit-chat session on end of Aug'17. I did not attend the chit-chat session as i assumed it was just an random invitation. My appeal for SC is still pending. Two months before i went to my neighborhood RC and expressed my willingness to become a volunteer. I submitted membership application. Until now i haven't get any response.

Are your kids on LTVP for the reason you never applied for PR for them?

Re: SC application
That sucks. You have done it right so hopefully your persistency is going to pay off sooner or later and this is "just" the race factor.ilyaz23 wrote:I have two daughters and a son.
