Myself ofcourse, but that is because of me, if I spent 15 years in Australia, I would probably be as rich as I am in Singapore. Maybe I would have a property too, but the plus would have been my daughter would have the opportunity for higher education in Australia as a local there and no visa hassles to look for a job there. That is a big deal.malcontent wrote: ↑Tue, 30 May 2023 9:27 pmBut curious, who is better off financially, you or your sister?Wd40 wrote: ↑Tue, 30 May 2023 9:19 pmThe ironic thing is we will never know how close or far away we are in the ranking. Imagine some people are applying year after year and even the computer must be laughing, given that the person probably has a "never to be given PR" check against their profile, yet the person is applying year after year, thinking they just missed it in the lottery this time. My sister went to Australia 6 years ago on a work visa and she got her PR in 4 years and then citizenship in another 2 years. Here I am in my 15 year still on an EP and mostly likely next renewal I will be given an S Pass
I read an article about a Russian who was born here and still she didnt get PR, so based on that I think people here have been through far worse stuff than me, atleast I made some money and had a great time while I am here.
The biggest drawback of me being in Singapore is that my daughter will have to work her way through as an Indian passport holder, that puts her behind compared to others born with or acquired a developed country passport, ovarian lottery really
