Did you have a valid Singapore Passport that was valid after the age of 11? (pretty obvious if you left Singapore after you were eleven you would have needed a valid one to leave the country). If you did, then you will have been deemed to have enjoyed the socio-economic benefits of Singapore. With that in mind, your parents have shafted you royally. While you can come back into Singapore on a Canadian Passport, it will be easy to check up on you as they are in the process of linking the 6 major databases of the Government together into a massive super-database. That way, all they have to do is look at your Canadian passport to see where & when you were born. If it says you were born in Singapore, a quick query of the database for births on that date will through out, what, maybe half a dozen to a dozen at most? Get rid of half of them as the will be female. Once that has been established it will be easy to narrow down the identity of those remaining who are currently male & registered in Singapore, or if they have finished their NS obligation, or died, or immigrated legally. Those that are left surely could be identified if they are one of the 3 main races. The rest? gonna be damn few as Singapore isn't that big. How many birth/day do you reckon they have even now?
So, you can come back but if you are picked up it's gonna be rough with considerable jail time as they are out to make examples of deserters. And just think, you only have your parents to blame for not following protocol. They didn't use too much common sense when they took you out of the country and are still not showing too much common sense now. Be sure to thank them, yeah?
