PR application
Cheers All,
My PR application got rejected after more than a 2 months of processing in mid july 09. I am a Pakistani citizen holding an EP Q1 for 2 years plus valid till 2012.
Also done a grad-diploma on Sg student pass in 2004 and then got one year pass through EDB support for my business plan. I have mostly been in UK last year due to business and family reasons but my Singapore business was as usual in operation. Could it be only due to the absence from Sg?
The rejection does not state any reason and the duration after which I could re-apply.
Opinions/advice please.
thanks n cheers!

Opinion only. More than likely. It would appear that you do not have any intentions of staying in Singapore as you have been in the UK, most probably trying to prepare a bolt-hole there as well. Immigration is wising up here and not soon enough.

Thank you all for your experienced inputs. Actually my wife (GP doctor) and daughter live in the UK and I intend to relocate them to Sg too once I am settled. I was mostly in UK and my home country last year after my marriage on 30th Dec 2007 for a few business (new venture prospects) & domestic reasons.econoMIC wrote:Agreed, must have been your time in the UK but that is my opinion only. From their point of view, why did you leave Singapore for the UK and only now return and apply for PR just when you come back from the UK?
I would rather give it a try in Jan 2010 if not before then.
cheers and thanks!

Re: PR application
Maybe I suggest from what you've said above that you don't actually have a EP but in fact a PEP, An EP is only valid for 2 years.IYK wrote:Cheers All,

As you were in UK for an extented period and therefore probably not submitted Singapore tax returns you really didn't tick many of the PR boxes
Re: PR application
I got EP Q1 1stly issued for 1 year, renewed 1 year and then 3 years. I have paid all the taxes. My office and staff were still working while I was not in Sg. thanksSaint wrote:IYK wrote:Cheers All,

Permanent Resident Application Canada
Good Day:
I would like some clarification regarding the Permanent Resident application process.
After receiving the AIP, sending out the application for the Open Work Permit,
and applying for the SIN soon after, what other documents (besides the ones listed below) are required to obtain the Permanent Resident Card ?? I believe i have to send the documents to CPC Vegreville
Certificate of criminal record clearance
Copies of AIP received
PR Application form
Payment receipt
Supplementary form
Copy of passport
Photos
Copy of SIN form that has been processed
Will the card be sent directly to my residential address?
