Hi All,
Waiting for ICA regarding my pr application which was submitted Feb2020. I realized I never got any email from ICA ever. I would like to ask how will they actually contact you once approved or rejected? My ICA profile does have the correct phone and email. Also on myica the status is just pending.
This is also our second application which was rejected through mail around 4yrs ago.

That is tough. Sorry to hear. I have a few Chinoy friends here and they were able to get PR easily during the 2000’s. One married a Chinese Singaporean and got SGC as well.
Things have changed substantially since then. Definitely not as easy today and the crisis has made it even more challenging. I suspect one reason - there could be a lot of Malaysian Chinese in the system at the moment. You probably know there is an overwhelming preference for Malaysian Chinese in particular, as they have been proven to assimilate more quickly and can pass for locals in just a few short years due to the close cultural affinity.
I suspect the authorities also consider that Filipino Chinese and Thai Chinese tend to be more assimilated into their respective country’s local culture, as compared to other ASEAN Chinese, so being Chinese race might help statistically, but not as much culturally.
Fortunately your child is still young and you might be able to give it one more shot before he needs to enter primary school. Any reason why you decided to give birth in the PH? Obviously it’s a lot cheaper, but having a child born in Singapore might have helped (the experts can correct me on this).
If you are really dedicated to staying in Singapore, you will get it eventually - hang in there!
