You mention your sister was offered a PR right after her sec school?chris.snave wrote: ↑Sun, 18 Oct 2020 3:08 pmHi guys! I've been reading multiple PR threads back to back to evaluate my chances based on approval patterns but I believe my case is a bit atypical so I need some help. I grew up and spent all my teen years in Singapore so I'm pretty well assimilated, including being fluent in Singlish. My long term goal has always been to work and live in Singapore.
However, after graduating from a local university I went to China to pursue another bachelor and eventually masters in UK. I've read that this constitutes a reset period in some posts. Upon returning to my home country, I started applying for Singapore jobs. I got zero offers since no company would want to relocate someone with zero experience. After getting some experience, I finally managed to get a Singaporean company willing to sponsor my EP. In 6 months or so I plan to submit the following profile:
Age: 32
Race: Chinese
Nationality: Indonesian
Gender: Male
Marital Status: Single
Education: 4 years Singapore sec school, 4 years Singapore uni (first degree), China-UK uni (second degree), 1 year Masters in Southampton, UK
Job: Software Engineer
Length of stay in Singapore: 9 years
Income Tax Assessment : 6 months
Total Job Experience: 6 Years
Salary: 84k
Pass: EP
Note: My sister was offered a PR right after her sec school graduation in 2009 which she accepted. She's been living in Singapore since then.
What are my chances? Note that I'm applying in 6 months because even if I get rejected I will applying again a year later in case my application was rejected due to the COVID situation.
Chance is very low as only 6 months out of your 9 years in in SG. ICA will easily know that you may not stay here permanently, same as how you didnt work in SG after graduating.therat wrote: ↑Sun, 18 Oct 2020 3:39 pmYou mention your sister was offered a PR right after her sec school?chris.snave wrote: ↑Sun, 18 Oct 2020 3:08 pmHi guys!

How about you? Have you been offered?
SG already gave you a chance and you didn't use it fully. So, your history will still remain in memory and will need long time to change like 5 years+ down the road.chris.snave wrote: ↑Sun, 18 Oct 2020 6:39 pmThanks for the response. I actually intend to live in SG permanently (eventually becoming citizen), but not sure how to prove that. I didn't work in SG because I wasn't capable enough, not because I didn't want to (companies rejected left and right). So are the chances still very low even if I apply several years later (no major change other than pay bumps)?

However, his length of stay in SG and on PEP may help a little.
Chances may not be great. You will be in for a long wait and a positive outcome is not be guaranteed too. If not successful this time, your next attempt should have a higher chance.

Not marriage of convenience lols. We were planning to do proper wedding and all, but covid just shambled everything, and we just thought let's put the PR application in for now first.
I guess our next application will definitely have a better chance (longer marriage and maybe an SC baby together in the application ).
