Well, there you go -- wait one year, apply again, and you should get your PR.singaporeflyer wrote:i have been working in singapore for the past 11 months. i applied for my pr 3 months ago and it was rejected with the reason i have not met the residential requirements and asking me to reapply after 1 year.
My crystal ball says "highly unlikely", because they already told you that you need to wait one more year, and the only way to fix that is... drum roll... to stay one more year.Will there be any chance of getting my application approved if I can appeal with my companys support letter ?
You are slightly missing the point when you talk about absolute numbers because there are more China-Chinese (again geographically, not racial as you imply) and yet we do not get as many badly researched postings from them.pm1901 wrote:In case you didn't know China and then India have the largest population ....so there may be more in absolute numbers......for everything but then when you compare as a % it may be the same for otehr countries....think about that.....
I do believe the ability of looking up a phone number on the ICA website or the yellow pages and what one would call talent are highly correlated (r>0.5). I leave it up to you to prove the opposite. As you handily bunch China and India together as two very populous countries, let me ask why there are less posts from China (again, location, not race) who are not able to find a phone number (zero I have seen in the last three months) than from people located on the Indian sub-continent (at least three I saw in the last three months).pm1901 wrote:I do not think that the comment "You have a lot of people from the Indian sub-continent who are not really talent" is warranted.
pm1901, you have to keep in mind that the only reason why Singapore hands out EPs to foreigners is "in order to attract foreign talent". These are not my words but those of former prime ministers LKY and Goh Chok Tong. It is the government's policy "to attract the brightest and smartest foreigners" (again not my own words).pm1901 wrote:point taken about things here....
however talent is a strong word......just because folks are asking questions which have been asked before does not mean the person lacks talent....
just my thought....
The problem is, none of us work for ICA. Therefore, nothing we say can be construed as anything more than anecdotal evidence. I was rejected on my first application for PR and I appealed and it was also rejected. I reapplied 2 years later and it was approved. Now. Is it relevant to you? Not particularly, as I was applying on the family ties scheme and was still rejected and my appeal subsequently rejected. But eventually is was accepted. Things have changed since then as that was 17 years ago. Is it relevant? Not particularly, unless you are prepared to do what ever is necessary to gain PR because you WANT to be a Permanent Resident as opposed to just using the system as a method of extending your stay here if you should happen to get sacked.singaporeflyer wrote:Hi All,
Thanks for all your replies. Sorry that many of you had got into a debate just because of the question that I raised and also have deviated from the information that I was looking for. I had called up the ICA few times before and since I was not able to get the exact information from them I had to post this query on the forum. It is not like I am reluctant to search for the ICA phone number to make a call. I have searched/googled many times on this issue,called ICA a few times and since there was no concrete information and since I felt that a forum is a place where people can share ideas constructively I raised this question over here. Anyway thanks for all your help even though the answer to my question was not clear and it landed up in a debate of a different topic. Thanks All !
