I have come to the conclusion now, which is really common sense; if you are an Indian and your kids go to an Indian
International School and you just go to office and do nothing else, then it is pretty much zero chances you will get PR. The main thing about Indians is about integration, since we are known to be of different kind mingling among only ourselves.
If your kids got admission to local school then it is a pretty good chance you can still get PR, if you do other things right. But with kids in international school I would say zero.
I have kind of given up on applying PR ever again for this reason and I would urge all Indians who send your kids to Indian international school to also giveup. I know many of us applied for the local school and we didn't get, but some did get and I think at time they already knew who is potential PR material and who is not.
Some of the Indians would go against all odds and make their kids prepare for the tough AEIS exam and put them into local schools. That shows commitment and such commitment usually gets rewarded.
So I think the ICA is very pragmatic and they can see who is really integrating and willing to sweat it and who is not.
So just ask yourself, do you really see yourself integrating, you know eat at the food court with local friends, etc. Your Facebook friends list probably is also a give away who knows.
So it is all just common sense, they can see through it so it is often a binary chance zero or 100%.
