Try once and if you dont get it, you can make Plan B

Age, ethnicity will surely make it tough for you.

Thanks for your input @SingaporeFlyer

Not sure about your situation but the secondary kid is eligible to apply for PR on his/her own (assuming passed PSLE). The younger one would be eligible in due time as well.

Again, not sure what your situation or objectives are but it is another option. I'm also not sure whether the race classification is any easier to get through this way.

Thanks NYY1.
I also heard about this route.

Do we have anybody in this forum, who have additional insights in this Student->PR route?

This is a few years old, not sure if anything more recent. I have seen some of the C's get it in a month or two. Not sure about any others though.

Got it.. Appreciate your help.
Will try that route for once and see how it goes.

Maybe try again as a family first? Not sure if the chances are any different from the past and it involves waiting time (possibly a year +/-). But the option for the kids probably won't go away (unless policy change). It is unclear to me if parents would have a better chance to get through later (if kids are PR) or if parents would have an even lower chance? So again, it kind of depends on what your plans and objectives are. Good luck.

Understood. Thanks...
