Thats a good philisophy. sometimes we tend to over ngineer our lives until it becomes too complicatedGodfather_Justin wrote:Hi AndrewV,AndrewV wrote:anyway I don't think the OP is trying to skip NS right? he has stated very clearly that he is ok with his son serving NS.
OP, after 22, which citizenship will you prefer your son to have? as long as you were born canadian the canadian government will allow you to resume your citizenship in a future date (after 1 year of being a PR), the way things are going with more economic activity moving to asia you may want to think strongly about maintaining your son's singaporean citizenship until he is older and wants to do a slightly slower paced easier job in canada
Just like i mentioned in the first post, we have no issue sending my son for NS in Singapore. We have never thought of skipping NS at all.
We will definitely take your suggestion into consideration. Personally i have the similar thinking as you: make as much as you can in Asia when still young, retire and enjoy your life in Canada... But sometimes things/plans are easy to say, but hard to do... well, we will leave it to him to decide....
