Hi,
Please don't mind the username as I've registered to this forum a few years back when I was young and broke. I am now a bit older and a bit less broke.
Basic profile:
Nationality/Race: Caucasian, Canadian (born in Russia)
Age: 30
Salary: 9k
Occupation: IT finance at foreign bank (3yrs + work in SG under EP)
Marital Status: Married
Spouse: Taiwanese, previously worked in Singapore (2yrs, WP, S-pass), Bachelors degree, now on dependant pass so can hopefully incubate a male baby
Other factors: Family been here since about 2009, parents and two younger brothers all PR for 7+ years. Middle brother is in NS at the moment (first ang moh nurse in Singapore? He told me he saw one already though...), he is planning to apply for citizenship shortly after NS. Technically, I could have been included in the PR application under my father, but I was going to school overseas at the time and knew nothing about Singapore. I ended up dropping my degree overseas and coming to Singapore to study and get my Bachelors (not a local uni but a private university). I then moved to Taiwan as it was difficult to find a job, got married, landed a job in SG and got a little over 3 years working experience under my belt. If ICA wants to dig really deep, they can probably trace my "stay" in Singapore for a full decade by now, nothing illegal just a lot of visits and a student pass as well as my work experience.
In all honesty, I think my trump card is the family ties as I know my brothers will become Singapore citizens as they left Canada at a pretty young age. Would I eventually give up my Canadian passport? Yes. I expect an initial rejection, and plan to apply again in about 3 years, with a baby boy (or girl I guess). I guess my question is, do you see any red flags in my profile, or have suggestions as to how to improve my PR chances?
Thanks guys!
