We've only posted thls probably over 100 times in the past 5 years. Somehow our posters do not know how to use the search engine on this site.

hi, i have been working in sg since dec 2019, changed job on oct 2022 (current employer). just based on this would it be better to apply on oct or december? does ICA review the duration at date of application or its a floating date until they provide the approval/rejection?

ICA won't disclose that.

You are trying to analyze and time the application. No one except ICA knows the exact details on this. Duration of work in SG is not the only factor for PR application. There are a group of factors

Hi all,

Just wanted to update that I got a letter in the post today with IPA after 1 year 1 month.

FYI, I changed jobs and got an increase in salary which I updated a month ago. Not sure if it's a coincidence but 1 month after that update we got the approval. Anyway, take the anecdotal data for what it's worth.

Feel elated!

Thanks for all the useful data points in this forum. Will be scouring the IPA process posts now :)

Hello All,

After wait of 22 months, last week I got update from ICA that PR application has been rejected.
Feeling sad about out come after long wait, But accepts it with heavy heart.

I am not sure what caused for rejection as we never know.

I am not sure that should I appeal or wait for a year to re-apply.
Please help with suggestion.

Thanks.

Can you please provide things like your race, age, etc, other details? Going by your post history you haven't disclosed any of this information, as such it would be difficult for any forum member to provide you with advice without an accurate picture of your profile.
