For my children case, they're qualified as they're minors and my PR husband able to sponsor them but ofcourse not applicable for my case.

Is there any hearsay consideration that ICA will reject your PR application but approve your SC application?

“ I am retired now but I used to work for the Ministries and one of them is the former ICA called SIR, The selection of Prship is based solely on what you submitted in PR application form. Then they will do their due diligence
Main criteria is race, religion , kinship , tax (you have to pay tax), education but not in this order .
These are the main criteria. They will tinker with it based on social and political landscape at that given time. “

Re: SC approval chances in 2020
SF, not any more (or at least to a great extent) - if it's on the application, there will be a numerical value assigned to that data and you can bet on that. The weighting given to the numerical value is the unknown factor. If I remember correctly, that post was by Mad Scientist. He worked for the SIR probably 20 years ago when times were different. There has been lots of changes since the 2011 GE.
