Canadian with Chinese girlfriend

[Canadian85]

Hi All - have been doing a lot of reading on MoM and other sites and it doesn't seem to have clear guidelines.

I'm a Canadian who has been in Singapore for over a year now on work permit. I have a Chinese girlfriend, who I (prior to vivid) would travel to see once or twice a month. We have been together for close to 2 years (I used to work in HK which is where we met).

She has a business in China that she can manage from Singapore, and I want her to come live with me here in Singapore. Based on MoM, she would not qualify for dependent pass, but may qualify for LTVP (however as I mentioned above, the qualification criteria from MoM is a mystery). I make over 20K SGD a month and can support us both, but because we are not common law or married, it seems like it will be rejected.

Other than going to China/Canada and getting married, are there any other options?

Sadly, you are correct in your assumptions.

You can get married now on Zoom.

Bet you ICA would look at it as a marriage of convenience though.
