Probability to get PR Approved for 2020-2021

[the observer]

Hi Experts, I have few questions regarding to the PR application

1. The PR consultant(paid service) will help to write the 3500 characters major achievement in the employment section, does that help?
2. Will buy a condo here help to increase the chance to get PR?
3. How ICA evaluate the integration of applicants in Singapore?

1. No
2. Not really
3. If ICA was to publish that info, all will try to do it to get PR?

Point 2 is a possibility. Could be interpreted as commitment.

One can sell off the condo anytime and leave. So, Condo or cash in account may not be treated as commitment.

First and foremost criteria is definitely the ethnicity and career.

Being Chinese, he should have it easier than most.
Only when it comes to stiff competition, integration and commitment comes into play.

Re real estate, it’s not quite a pack and leave situation, not when absd is at 20pct. Takes a whole lot of “commitment” to make that purchase.

As for cash accounts and stock market investments, I concur with you. The transaction costs are negligible, and hence the value to getting PR should also be similar, negligible.

ICA can know applicant's bank liquidity?

[sundaymorningstaple]

No. They only have access to Government databases like MOM, IRAS, MOH, MINDEF, etc. All the government databases are now linked. Something I foretold here about 10 years ago that it was coming but all poo-poo'ed the idea back then, but the writing was already on the wall.

I would assume they could ask for it from the OP if they deemed it relevant though.

But if they really want they can buy your credit rating report and view?

Hearty congrats on your PR,cashetnuts! Can you kindly let me know the procedure to include certificate for volunteering? Did you attach it separately or along with other mandated documents? Did you also include proof for donation?
