You might fluke it but unless a whole bunch (>1%) of Chinese suddenly die off here.... I doubt it. This is the 29th Chinese Province.

umm..why's that?
I thought not too many indians are taking up citizenship.
Or are they being rejected for citizenship?

Never try, never know.
Yup, only thing is, is there that people desiring citizenship?

It's not too many indians are being given citizenship.

Getting a citizenship for a Indian with only 2 years on PR is virtually impossible. You should consider yourself lucky to have been granted PR in 2010 (when it was still easy).

If you were to apple even PR now, your chances will be quite low.

The rule of the thumb is to attempt citizenship after 2 cycles of REP renewals (or was it just one?) but too early.

Chance: No good. Sorry.

I suggest you wait until you get your REP renewed in 2015. That, if you are lucky to get it renewed...

[sundaymorningstaple]

If you are to have any chance at all, wait until you have renewed your REP the first time, e.g., after you have been a PR for, say, six years. Then, if you haven't abused it by shuttling off to Aus, US OR Canada and try to come back just before it expires to renew again, you may have a chance, depending on what has happened in the country in the next four years. Another GE for one thing. And, if the PAP lose that, I don't even want to go there......

As have already booked appointment so will just try it out.
Will update on outcome.

If PAP losses,I won't want to be in Singapore anyway.
there seems to be lot of stress on companies due to immigration restrictions so probably its worth the rejection and wait for few more years anyway.
It might not be same Singapore in few years,Alas.

This is exactly the problem, you obviously seem to have NO long term commitment and want a citizenship as a convenience. I can never understand how people take citizenship as a convenience. Anyone looking to get a citizenship should be thinking much more wider than this and must NOT be saying I anyway won't be in Singapore if PAP loses. You can not be committing to a country conditionally.

I am sorry if I sound rude or anything on those lines.

Grow up. This is a global world, where people will choose what best suits them. Same way as county can take what suits them.

Why the heck would anyone take citizenship if not for convinience.
If you want to take it up for inconvinience go to AFrika.

Your talk and action seem very divergent, on one hand you have taken appointment for citizenship and on the other you are saying you will quit this place if things go bad.

But then after taking citizenship, how are you gonna quit this place? Will you be able to gain back Indian citizenship, easily?

You seem to the person who wants to make sensational statments(opposite to what you actually believe) only to see if anyone else is agreeing with you and then use that as a metric to see if you action to apply citizenship is justified

[vishalgupta2]

Because of this amazing thought process, Indians are NOT liked anywhere on the planet. Not just professionally but personally too.

If you try to talk to any girl in SG or US or UK or AU or watever country you name you will know how people feel about Indians (You can even read some personals threads here on this forum).

Citizenship is supposed to be taken when you understand the local culture, like and appreciate it and want to be a part of the country (that is why you have to pass tests in country's history and culture in US).

As long as Indians keep getting citizenship just for convenience and in a manner similar to buying a car, Indians will continue to be as highly regarded as they are all over the face of this round little planet called earth.
