I agree with this. I tell the same to young Indians who ask me this question .unfortunately it’s late for us to do the same and we keep trying.sg2022 wrote: ↑Tue, 26 Apr 2022 8:55 amHi esivauee,
SG Citizen Indian origin here. I am also an immigrant citizen albeit 2+ decades ahead of you in terms of age with two grown-up children (both working professionals)
Trust me - given your background (race, education, professional experience etc) - you will be much better off applying for Australia or Canada PR and moving there once your Australia/Canada PR gets approved (which it should).
ICA has been giving PR/SC to Indians much less these days. If you wait too long, then it becomes difficult to migrate out once you cross 35.
The UK is also a good choice. If you can find a job in the UK and work there for 5 years, you get UK PR automatically which is not the case in Singapore.
Also, from your children's point of view, raising children in countries like Australia, Canada or UK is much better - far less stressful than Singapore is.
I have seen younger Indian friends who earn 200K+ per year, lived in Singapore for more than 10 years and yet can not get PR. Unfortunately, the Singapore immigration process is very opaque.
My two cents worth. Hope this helps.
Would also probably be a much more laid back environment to raise the kids.sg2022 wrote: ↑Tue, 26 Apr 2022 8:55 amHi esivauee,

Great suggestion, given my recent experience probably I would follow the same advice. I didn't have my hopes high, but stay here has been great so far along with experience on this forum. Keep up the good work, folks!sg2022 wrote: ↑Tue, 26 Apr 2022 8:55 amHi esivauee,

Thank you for all inputs.
Does this mean that ICA will actually consider where the applicants stay?singaporeflyer wrote: ↑Wed, 31 Aug 2022 11:32 amOverall ok, except for the stay in JB for your husband
