Experts on this forum will need 1 really important detail from you, your race.SingaporeWorker wrote:Here is my case, please kindly advise what is the next move.
1. Has been moved to Singapore since Sep 2011.
2. Holding EP (P1) the basic salary 9K+/month.
3. Working as IT manager in oversea banking industry.
4. Wife and 2 children are holding DP and apply for PR together
5. The fist rejection letter of PR application (did not mention anything in the letter) received on Sep 2012.
6. Taking master degree programme in NUS, which will be graduated in 2014.
Now I'm preparing to resubmit the PR application in Dec 2012. After reading the posts on the forum, I am hesitated to make decision now. Could you please advise which one is the ideal one
Three options:
1. Submit in Dec 2012. (The difference since last time, salary increased, take fresh course in NUS, wife got a part-time job)
2. Wait until Mar 2013 (6 month after first rejection), kind of wasting time if it is still rejected.
3. Apply individually. (w/o wife and children)

I do not think ICA places and distinction between Taiwanese & PRC as Taiwan is still considered part of China. This may pose a problem even after he finishes his masters at NUS.
His best chance, to me, would be to wait until he has finished his Masters here. But there is nothing stopping him from applying early, other than giving ICA the impression of desperation. But, that is up to him. This is only my reading of the facts.

In all theory taking a Permanent residency in any country must be a decision way bigger than saving some tuition or taxes on property.SingaporeWorker wrote:Hi all,
First of all, thank you for your comment. I'm a Chinese from China
The reason I applied so early, just because I checked with ICA before my first submission, they said, no restriction on the timing of submission. Therefore, I tried my luck and showed the desperation of willing to join Singapore.
Also, being a PR could deduct my tuition fee in NUS, enable my CPF, lower duty tax of buying property.... therefore I did not wait for 2 years or 3 tax assessment.
Base on your comment, it seems they put some special treatment on PRC... what is that? does that mean it is less chance for those people from China?
Considering a lot of benefits of being a PR are related to me, will that be helpful if I apply individually first.
+1 to that. Possible questions in the ICA officer's mind in situations like this could be "Why the undue haste? Has the applicant been here long enough to form a real attachment and a genuine desire to reside here permanently?" Of course in the case of Malaysian Chinese this seems to have less importance, given the similarity to Singapore Chinese and hence the (presumed) greater likelihood of easy integration and long-term stay.vishalgupta2 wrote:In all theory taking a Permanent residency in any country must be a decision way bigger than saving some tuition or taxes on property.
Not quite a 'guaranteed rejection' but I get your point. However, as SMS says, it's their ball, their park, etc., etc... We are all guests here at the end of the day, and it's only natural that they want to maximise the benefit to the country. The point of debate right now of course is whether the recent changes will increase or decrease that benefit overall. My view is that there's a balance to be struck; I'm just not sure that they've got it right at the moment.vishalgupta2 wrote:Special treatment of PRC, sure there is. Any PRC or Indian gets a guaranteed Rejection unless he has paperwork to guarantee some great benefit to the island.
This is the exact reason why the Gahmen have made it a lot more difficult for certain applicants to be granted PR. Singapore grant PR to applicant who they delieve will contribute to the development of the country, not to applicants who's sole reasons are to benefit themselves financial which is obvious in your case.SingaporeWorker wrote:Also, being a PR could deduct my tuition fee in NUS, enable my CPF, lower duty tax of buying property.... therefore I did not wait for 2 years or 3 tax assessment.
When we talk about the "system abusers", I just wonder, if I may, whether you are planning to stand in Singapore for a long term? Let's say until retirement. Or an analyst before jumper.SingaporeWorker wrote:The benefits I put there may be a bit materialistic, but they are all ture. Meanwhile, the willing of join Singapore PR is also becuase Singapore is a nice and safe place to live.
However, if we are talking about the contribution to development of Singapore, or any country in the World. As an individual, the main contributions are tax contribution and national services. If these are the factors ICA to consider the eligiablity of A PR. I think my family should have a fairly resonable chance.
