Hi, I am curious, when you came from India after bachelors of Engineering were you a fresher or did you have any work experience? After grad diploma of 1yr, did you find a job easily and got an S Pass? Was it campus recruitment or via some networking?Pan91 wrote: ↑Sun, 16 Oct 2022 11:50 amHi Group members/ Moderators,

I agree with you, I'm open for rejection now. I will apply again once my wife gets citizenship or after a baby.korosensei wrote: ↑Wed, 19 Oct 2022 7:17 amif you read some of the post here they will recommend to apply after two years of marriage. i think you had applied too early.

I was never on Spass. I was on student pass.
I had some exp before coming to sg.
Finding a job in Singapore is not easy and there is no MOE subsidy for foreigners anymore. It's gonna be more difficult.
I think he said he had the Tuition Grant (served 3 year bond). There were some other comments (maybe from you) that a colleague or friend's child didn't get it. I am not sure what the current state of the Tuition Grant is; it is still listed on NUS/NTU website but one needs to apply and possibly they are given out more selectively these days?Wd40 wrote: ↑Wed, 19 Oct 2022 6:33 pmThanks.

I believe the tuition grant whether you get it or not, you only find out in hindsight, as my colleague was saying her nephew eventually didnt get the grant but he has already started his semester. I wonder what made OP to come to Singapore and take that risk. Lucky he got a grant and found a job here. But I dont think it is worth that risk, he could have easily moved to Canada, Australia or UK or even just stayed in India. His biggest upside, seems to be acquiring a PR wife, but if he is not given PR, then it is pretty useless also.NYY1 wrote: ↑Wed, 19 Oct 2022 8:22 pmI think he said he had the Tuition Grant (served 3 year bond).

I thought it (obtain Grant or not) when admission offers were made? As when you accept you need to confirm whether you are accepting with or without the Grant. But I am not close to this right now and don't know anyone that has recently taken it. As you allude to, I don't know how many people could make a fair assessment and decision without knowing whether they have it or not (given the cost differential).Wd40 wrote: ↑Thu, 20 Oct 2022 11:07 amI believe the tuition grant whether you get it or not, you only find out in hindsight, as my colleague was saying her nephew eventually didnt get the grant but he has already started his semester.

The Wife's PR is useless, not the wife
I did not know my wife when I first came to Singapore.Wd40 wrote: ↑Thu, 20 Oct 2022 11:07 amI believe the tuition grant whether you get it or not, you only find out in hindsight, as my colleague was saying her nephew eventually didnt get the grant but he has already started his semester.

Thanks, appreciate you sharing your details. Wish you good luck with the PR application. Since you already have strong ties here, I think it is a matter of time.Pan91 wrote: ↑Thu, 20 Oct 2022 11:49 amI did not know my wife when I first came to Singapore.Wd40 wrote: ↑Thu, 20 Oct 2022 11:07 amI believe the tuition grant whether you get it or not, you only find out in hindsight, as my colleague was saying her nephew eventually didnt get the grant but he has already started his semester.

Choosing Singapore over other countries for someone coming from Tamil Nadu could have other reasons as well.
1) Firstly, my Mother's father was a citizen; my Father's father was a PR. Both are passed away and did not bring their respective kids to Sg. I always had a deep connection to this country since my childhood.
2) I do have a lot of close relatives here even now.
3) During 2015, MOE subsidiary was common to almost all PG programs and guaranteed for all students.
4) It is NUS.
Very low chance. You didn't even complete one REP renewal.yaxer981 wrote: ↑Thu, 27 Oct 2022 1:02 pmDear group members,
