Yeah.. cuz one thing I under work permit salary will tend to lower than 3k. But I heard them to say must bear a kid only can obtain pr..(which I can't). Just want to stay here for living n gets in SG live.
But anyways thks alot for your suggestions... Very very grateful for it.
Do you mean you are physically incapable of bearing a child or that you do not wish to at this time because circumstances don’t allow it?

Hi, looking for some advice on when we should apply for PR due to possible big life changes which may increase or lower chances of approval.

Husband:
Age: 30
Race: full Chinese (with ancestry proof, Xiamen roots)
Nationality: Philippines
Religion: Catholic
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Married (1.5 years)
Kids: 0 (planning to have 2)
Education: Bachelor's from top PH uni, Master's from top U.S. uni,
Working in Singapore: 2+ Years
Job: Consultant
Annual Salary: 160k+ basic/190k+ with bonus
Total Work Experience: 6 years
Current pass: 2nd EP (renewed Jan 2021)

Wife:
Age: 29
Race: mixed Chinese-Filipino (with ancestry proof, Xiamen roots)
Nationality: Philippines
Religion: Catholic
Gender: Female
Marital Status: Married (1.5 years)
Kids: 0 (planning to have 2)
Education: Master's and Bachelor's from top PH uni (about to start higher degree in SG or Europe Fall 2021)
Length of stay/Working in Singapore: 1 year
Job: Research
Annual Salary: 30k+
Total Work Experience: 5 years
Current Pass: 2nd DP (renewed Jan 2021)

Wondering whether it's better to wait after we have kids or should we apply now since we really can't predict if we will have a kid soon? The wife has PCOS, though we're definitely trying to get pregnant. Not sure also if wife's future higher degree from SG or Europe will matter?

Thank you!
After posting this here and receiving helpful advice plus additional advice to wait for 2 years more before applying, we still applied with this profile 😅

After 10 months, we got our PR application approved 🥳 thanks to this forum for the Q&As. Really helpful!

Mine is Chinese, my wife's was Filipino, but they changed it to Chinese when they asked for proof of Chinese descent and we submitted documents.

So what tipped the scales in your favour was likely ethnicity, education & income with ethnicity probably the point that changed it as they saw fit to change your wife's ethnicity to Chinese as well once documented. In any case, congratulations are in order. And, I love it when our advice is considered and you gambled anyway and won. It does means there is hope for others. But we still have to stick to the rule of thumb and not the exceptions.

She can try once. 50-50. The main positive is duration of stay in SG. Negatives will be quota, salary, etc

very low chance as
- Short stay in SG - just 1 year
- Ethnicity

Wait for 3 more years and then apply.

If I were you, I'd apply now regardless.

Even with lesser approvals granted this year, the elephant's share of PRs are still going to be granted to your kind of profile.
Hi everyone, thinking about this again, since I'm thinking of switching companies, should I apply while I'm still with the current company or wait till I'm with a new company, or it doesn't matter?
Join the new company, wait for 6 months of payslip and then apply.
Back here again 2 years later, took your advise and applied 6 months later (back in Nov 2021), got my PR in 6 months, thank you all on this forum! :D
