This sums it up. Australia. You could be here forever and never get citizenship.tyl80 wrote: ↑Fri, 02 Oct 2020 3:35 pmOne of our biggest wish at the moment is to get a Citizenship and settle for good and grow the family, if possible. Now, Singapore citizenship process is a black box, it may happen in 3 years, 5 years or 20 years or never, but Australia provides a sure citizenship pathway and timeline.
Cut and run while you get the chance to move to Oz. They might become stricter with immigration in the future.tyl80 wrote: ↑Fri, 02 Oct 2020 3:35 pmHi Everyone,
Apologies in advance for the long post. To start with here is my profile.
Duration in Singapore: Around 10 years. Came here in end 2010.
Race: Indian
Age: 39 years
Marriage: Married to an Indian, 8 years of marriage, have a son 6 years old.
Profile: IT Consultant. Working for Global Technology MNC (not a bank). ICT and Advanced digital technologies. Total 16 years exp (14 years in the current company)
Education: Bachelor of Computer engineering degree from India. Take it as info only if this helps in your assessment, my engineering university is top 10 in India.
Current Salary: 200k+; Spouse not working
I applied for Singapore PR 2 times (2014, 2017) and didn’t get it. Started to get that being an Indian my PR Chances are dismal and I should have a plan B as a place to call home feeling started hounding.
Started preparing for Australia PR last year 2019 and applied for it under skilled migration program. Meanwhile, I still wanted to give a try to my first love Singapore - and this time we got our PR (all in family) approved this year March 2020. My assessment for the positive result is more time and significant increment in my salary.
As the luck would have it, my Australia PR (all in family) also got approved recently.
Here is my current mental set and question:
My family and I love Singapore. It's given us so much, we have built a life, got great local friends. Weather and proximity to extended family and many great tourists places a short flight away is awesome. Financially - income taxes, goods and food price, transport - all are great. Have no qualms about sending my son to NS, we are perfectly fine with it.
Australia offers many things (good and bad) but to cut the chase - as per my assessment the only motivator for us to move there is a guaranteed Citizenship in 5-6 years.
One of our biggest wish at the moment is to get a Citizenship and settle for good and grow the family, if possible. Now, Singapore citizenship process is a black box, it may happen in 3 years, 5 years or 20 years or never, but Australia provides a sure citizenship pathway and timeline.
Given my profile, what do you reckon:
Shall I hedge my bet on remaining in Singapore and expect a citizenship within 3 to 8 years?
Shall I make a move to Australia?
Am I thinking wrongly or narrowly, and I should consider more things?
Any other inputs will be really helpful.
Cheers
If it was me, I will stay and live in Singaporetyl80 wrote: ↑Fri, 02 Oct 2020 3:35 pmHi Everyone,

"Without knowing anything don't comment" is too broad. It's like saying: if you don't understand economic theory, don't talk about the state of the economy or ... if you never studied medicine, don't talk about your medical conditions ...vig.srinivasan93 wrote: ↑Mon, 05 Oct 2020 7:40 amThis is in regard to "the observer" posting on 4th Oct 2020 .... "From Hindu nationalism via Modi, to white supremacy via Trump, whatever you want to call this current sentiment, it looks like it will be here to stay." Do you know the rights of minorities in India. Without knowing anything dont comment on India. As such you r not an indian and hence dont try to bull..... here. I hope you understood the message. Who asked you (if you were an indian which country you will consider)... you know UK how they give sanctuary to all kinds of "FRAUDSTERS" in the name of Human rights... Any how you have not posted anything valuable and you are not knowing anything on this subject. So my advise is better keep your mouth shut.
