PR Approval Chances 2023

[IndSgp2023]

Hi,

"Such a shame" is an idiom or just a common saying.. it's synonym of "too bad".

It doesn't mean that I am ashamed.

Yeah.. that's the plan now. It is not something I wanted but have to move now. Such a shame as I spent more than one third of my life here.

Come on my friend, now this is what i would say is the mentality that we should avoid, especially we Indians. I really understand your frustration but we should not see this as a shame in anyway with regards to us or our education or work profile or field of education or length of stay. Of course, it is a common feeling for a human to think in his mind that it is shameful compared to others who got it, but you don't have to think that way. Singapore does appreciate you and your education or work profile, but unfortunately she cannot give PR to all foreigners. Just to give you an example, there are many people here in SG who have been studying right from childhood (since primary) and finished undergraduate here and just now working for a few years, but they have not got their PR, yet. You should also consider such people and put yourself in their shoes. Does it mean that those who have studied here since primary and not yet a PR should be shameful? At least you might have made good savings in all these years than many others as your household income is high. So I hope you don't take this PR rejection as a shame or defeat. We can thank Singapore at least she gave some of her wealth to us and we try to contribute something back. I too have invested a lot of emotion, time and money in singapore, but it does not mean that i should feel shamed, if i am not given PR. Sorry for this long answer, but I personally know that a lot of people feel its a shame or something to feel awful about oneself if not given PR, so i felt that i should express my views here.

On a different note, sometimes i feel within myself, that may be the new comers to SG who come here to study or work and then aspiring to make SG home, should soon realize the difficulties in the chances of getting PR. This can at least make the new comers to mentally prepare and avoid huge disappointments, if not able to get it after many many years.

I appreciate that you're showing empathy but sometimes it's better to type only a few words.

Just fyi.

We got our rejection today. At around 5th month. The upload button disappeared three weeks back.

My understanding of the entire process and my 4 rejected applications (correction here as I mentioned this is my 3rd attempt earlier) is that:

They're extremely traditional in their evaluation. They don't care if you are earning well or doing fantastic in your jobs. They only care about whether you can give them next generation and preferably male.

Racial quotas are extremely important. So no matter if people from one particular race, even if highly educated and giving lots of taxes, wish to settle here; they don't care!

So if you are one of those who thinks highly of themselves (even if with legitimate reasons such as high salaries and in in-demand jobs or have spent more than a decade here) but don't meet the basic criteria such as having children and from a desired racial profile, you don't stand much chance practically.

Anyways, that's the end of my 4th and the final attempt. Time to look for greener pastures.

Try applying NZ, Australia or Canada. A lot of my fill friends went there already and within few months with 3months is the fatest they got their PR Approval including their families. They even got their own landed house and car now. I also wish to migrate to those countries where PR criteria got transparent point system but my husband is here. So got no choice but to stay here. and maybe its not really for you? (for my case i already accepted PR here is not for me and move on with my life) cause i believe if it is for you noone can stop it, if its not for you you cannot force it..

Yeah.. that's the plan now. It is not something I wanted but have to move now. Such a shame as I spent more than one third of my life here.

It was good while it lasted though, right?

Shame here is used to mean pity, not shameful.
