Any idea what the circumstances were for a successful appeal? Like, what could ICA have missed out the first time around that makes the appeal successful?Lisafuller wrote: ↑Thu, 21 Sep 2023 1:14 pmThey have worked out in the past, though are very very rare.NobodyPaiseh wrote: ↑Sat, 16 Sep 2023 12:16 amIs there any point to appealing a PR rejection whatsoever? Has anyone obtained a favourable outcome after appealing a rejection?
My rejection came in May of this year after an 11 month wait and I have not appealed, but I’d like to hear other folks’ thoughts.
My profile (since I see other people post this info):
Nationality: Naturalised Canadian, born in China
Age: 33 at the time of application last year
Marital status: Single
Education: BSc, Canadian university
Length of stay: 4 years
Work: Software Engineer (previously worked in Silicon Valley tech companies for 6 years before coming to SG)
Salary: ~150K/year not including bonus or RSU’s
Kids: no kids out of wedlock that I know of(jokes…)
I’m on an EP and not PEP.
Cheers!
(jokes…)I’m in a serious relationship and am considering settling down and starting a family, which is the consideration for PR in the first place. That said, there’s no way to tell ICA that’s my intention as they don’t ask for a cover letter or anything in the PR applicationjalanjalan wrote:PR is a stepping stone to citizenship. Do you plan to give up Canadian citizenship and settle down here?
The specific criteria is a black box, but the intentions have been clearly stated.

You have already show them you are not a good candidate for PR as you emigrated once to Canada and became a naturalized citizen there and now looking to jump ship to Singapore. Don't look like an ideal candidate for a future citizen to me as you have already shown them you have no issue with changing passports. Good Luck, and I actually mean that, but frankly, from the way I see it you have a good sized hill to surmount.
However, having said that, a lot would depend on the information you didn't give us to work with, e.g. while you were born in China, when did you emigrate to Canada? As a young child or as an adult? I am sure this will be taken into consideration by ICA but is is still, as noted, a black box there. Based on the info given here I have to go with my first sentence.
That said, I think the latter is irrelevant from ICA’s perspective because they don’t ask for my naturalisation information, only birth certificate and _current_ nationality’s passport. Even if I wanted to say “hey, I was converted to a useless Canadian passport against my wishes as a baby!” there’s nowhere in the application to state that
.It seems like the best path forward is settling down and having a family. In the mean time I’ll strive to get a new job in the 22.5K+ territory to quality for a PEP, and I’ll re-apply with that status.
