As an HR Specialist, I'm pretty sure you already have a very good idea what your chances are. Especially if you have taken the time to do a little research on this site.

Re: PR Approval Probability 2021
Hope it can be useful for someone.
Just received approval 2 weeks ago. Applied in February 2021 (yes, we are also very surprised it was so fast).
Previously applied in December 2017 and received rejection after 9 months.
We are a family of three (husband, myself and 2-years old), Russian, both working in a local company.
5 years in Singapore, my husband has a Master's Degree in Engineering and Technology.
Good luck to everyone!

i'm still waiting for the IPA letter to my mailbox.
The approved status is on the ICA website (i hope it's not false approved).
Do you know how long is PR-IPA letter validity?
Thanks!

Reason: Quota and salary on the lower side.
Main applicant salary has to increase to renew even his EP as his experience will be more with time?
