2nd Gen ex-PR wanting to return

[IUXD]

Hello,

I am currently an australian citizen living in Australia but I have lived in Singapore for the first 15 years of my life. However due to my fathers job we(whole family) had to move over to australia permanently and my brother, also a 2nd gen pr was 17 at the time so he did not get to serve ns even though he renounced PR legally.

Currently I am not very happy here and I wish to move back(possibly to become a PR again) but I am wondering whether this is allowed since I am a female but my brother did not get to serve his PR. I am the only one in my family who wishes to return and am wondering whether ICA will accept my application assuming I have the proper qualifications and such.

Thank you.

I think you have a potential pathway back as your family appear to have migrated correctly. Your pathway back is finding a job where the employer will sponsor your for an SP or EP. That's the only way open I think.

Correct - you can come back on same terms as any other Australian passport holder - get employment that will sponsor you.

Very well, I could go down that path but is there any possibility that I could possibly become a Singapore PR/citizen after that?(possibly after a few years of living in Singapore with an EP or SP)

Yes but your chances are completely unknown and there would be no likely positive weighting given to your ancestry.... And maybe a negative weighting.

There’s always a possibility, just like the lottery. You need to move over, work hard and make yourself a shining example to get the attention of the powers that be.

I would be keen to know the reply you get from ICA and also the application status, if you do proceed forward.

I renounced my son's PR last year as we got transferred on my job. Now my job is made redundant. At the time of transfer it was not time bound and we did not have enough money to put up the security bond. Hence we renounced.

In addition to the agony of being made redundant (owing to business restructuring), I am faced with the prospects of re-applying for my son's PR. All other members of the family have retained the PR.

Any advise will be helpful on how we can approach ICA. We never had any issue of him serving the NS and in fact he was keen to enroll. He is still 17 years now.

Why don't you create a new thread Kamikaze instead of jumping onto others. Layout as many facts as you can. Your paragraph above is pretty sparse.

He can still get DP until he is 21 - but time for him to have a plan A that doesn't involve being in Singapore. I presume that he is going to have to get a job/ scholarships if he wants to go to college if paying the bond was tough for you, so it is probably time for him to leave the nest.

So what is the proper way for a 2nd gen. male PR to cancel PR (or had it canceled) in case the family migrates out of the country? There are many posts on this board concerning the process for SC but I had troubles finding more consolidated information for the PRs.

For example, does this famous term of enjoying social/economical benefits also applies? Should acquiring the NRIC be avoided? Any age limits? It looks people have done it even crossing the 17yo (16.5) age mark...

You might try, but personally I think the timing your bro renounced his PR status is soooo “coincidental”. You might have your reasons to justify the immigration to Australia. Evading NS is a serious offense, which will not just affect the offender himself but also his families( clearly stated in the application documents).

I wonder how did he do it legally. According to the board gurus (eg. viewtopic.php?t=108359), he would need to have his PR canceled before the age of 13. Has he resided last 4 years on LTVP?

PR cancellation is not an issue (just leave). SC cancellation with outstanding CMPB issues is impossible.

To clarify: cancelling your PR may not erase an NS obligation.

Thank you. This I understand, but the NS obligation is the unclear part. For example, in the link above, the 13 age limit is mentioned and that later the person is a defaulter. Here, you also mentioned it: viewtopic.php?t=112214 but in the same thread Sundaymorning says it differently.

I understand renouncing will have some nasty effects, this is clear, but it is a different story when one is simply refused pass to work or even longer stay, and different if the country considers such person a criminal. So what would be the case for having it canceled before enlistment but after 13?

Has the second gen PR in question received official notices for either call up or applying for an exit permit?
