I suggest you forget about an LPR for now.milkman123 wrote:Care to elaborate whats that supposed to imply.sundaymorningstaple wrote:What can I say!
Thanks for your comment FaeLLe. You are right it is gonna be hard to get LPR at this time and while I am applying I am not keeping my hopes any high. The only reason I am applying is just because I have time and money to spend at the moment. Its just that time of my life that I can afford to spend 6-8 months on this and even if it gets rejected I wouldn't loose anything except for the money! and as far as the time is concerned, I am not planning to come to Singapore before atleast 6 months so thats why I thought its worth it.FaeLLe wrote:I suggest you forget about an LPR for now.milkman123 wrote:Care to elaborate whats that supposed to imply.sundaymorningstaple wrote:What can I say!
Multiple reasons,
- Current visa status
- Nationality
LPR is usally for people who do not have a residency status (of any kind) I guess, though there is no official citation that I could find for this.
Good luck though but I think time and tide are against your favour.
From whatever limited experience I have and also from what I gathered from this forum is that it is quite hard to predict anything on this. I have friends from subcontinent(including Pakistan) who got their LPR accepted and while around the same time some of my friends from more developed countries applied and got theirs rejected. No two applications are the same and it depends on a number of other factors than just the nationality so I think its hard for me to analyse my chances just by seeing other people's results. I guess the only way to know is by applying! Thanks for your suggestion though.revhappy wrote:I would suggest do some reading in the forum and see how even people from EU countries had their LPR rejected.

Dont worry, this is the most common mistake even the most educated people from the subcontinent make. And a big penchant for linguistics that I have, I love to point it out
The numbers are changing but it is not radical. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Singaporewkwoods wrote:Milkman,
I wouldn't worry about being from Pakistan at all. The proportion of subcontinent migrants (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka) has increased markedly over the last 5 years, so clearly, the Government is encouraging well qualified people from the subcontinent. The population mix has changed over the past 5 years as the population swelled to 5m+. Both the Malay and Chinese population are declining, while the Indian population is surging from migration. In some ways, Indians, Pakistanis and Sri Lankans integrate better with Singaporeans than mainland Chinese because of a common shared British heritage.
Even the HDB has responded. In January of this year, HDB increased the ethnic limit for Indian-owned HDB flats from 12% to 15% in their Ethinic Integration Policy. In some HDB blocks, Indians are bumping up against the limit already. However, the Govt does not set limits for private housing, so condos like Tanjong Rhu are slowly becoming Indian enclaves. At last count there are about 5 Indian International Schools in Singapore!
