I would truly appreciate it if someone could provide constructive criticism.

Please read existing discussions about the PR criteria and chances, then you will have a pretty good idea!

Hi Beppi, I did and I want external party to critique my profile thus posting here.

These are the takeaways that I have about my profile so far

Negative Points

• Ethnicity is in 'other' category so that will significantly impact my chances.
• No volunteering done in Singapore.

Positive Points

• My age, my length of stay, education background in cyber security and working in tech field for a competitive tech company
• No credit issue, healthy financial portfolios
• No health issue and top insurance coverage
• High salary for my age bracket (above 95th percentile)

So all in all, I guess I have high chances apart from my ethnicity.

So have to wait and see.

It's really really difficult if not impossible to have a "calculation" on probability.

My personal thoughts:

Age : 29 --> + because you are young

Nationality : Myanmar (Burma) --> - unless you are of Chinese ethnicity

Martial Status : Single --> - people with family having much higher tendency of settling down. As a single person, you may get married to someone from another country in the future and relocate there.

In Singapore : Since 2013 --> + long enough

Studied here and working here since then --> | This is no longer a plus since 2010.

Education:

Diploma in IT Singapore Polytechnic

Degree in Cyber Security from a Australia University (via Private Institute in Singapore) (10 points under EP COMPASS list)

--> - everyone has 10 points of COMPASS.

Currently Doing Part time Master in Cyber Security from a top 10 institute in the UK (20 points under EP COMPASS top tier institute list) --> This will not be counted until you actually get the degree and include it into your application

Salary : Around 150K yearly (Including base salary, bonus, RSU - North America tech company) --> | this salary is neither high nor low. An average number for your job. Also, ICA will only look into monthly base salary.

Investment and Credit

Always pay my credit card on time. --> | This is normal. If you have low credit score, no chance.

Healthy amount of investment across different portfolios (via DBS, brokerages) --> Depends on how much you have. If it is less than the min amount for private bank client of local banks (DBS, OCBC, UOB) then it's normal.

Previous Application

Applied 1 time in 2022 while I was still doing my degree part time and salary was around 7000 monthly, on SPASS.

Contribution to Singapore

No volunteer work. Only blood donation - once a year --> Volunterring has been abused by applicants for long time so it's not important if you have volunteer work or not. Unless your volunteer profile is very impressive (which means you have been volunterring for long time, and actively participate from your heart), this does not mean anything.

Overall, I think you have low chance of getting PR. Getting married and have a son may help to make it better, still nothing can be guaranteed.

@Patrick Collison Thanks for the input. 

Hi,

would like to get view of the people who applied PR under new system after 25.06.2024. I have recently on 03.09.2024. My profile as below.

Me working in Singapore since 2009(15 years)- salary 120k p.a

My wife running her own small venture- on EP salary is around 100k per year: staying in Singapore since 2015( around 9 year)

We have have two sons 7 year old and 7 months old. I have applied PR multiple time but got rejected. Last application Rejected 7 month back. at that application my 2nd son was not born.

I have heard that under new PR system result is coming out very fast like 2-3 months. Even within a month some applicant are getting query.

Can Anyone update if they got update from application done after 25.06.2024.

@AADVIK

Hi,

We are same, me & my wife applied PR under the new system. We applied on 31.07.24.

It's already 3 months, lets hope for the good news !

Ok good luck, thanks

@AADVIK

can you please let me know what is your application status ?

Hi, it is still pending

@AADVIK

Can i ask the current statys ? It is Pending or processing status ?

Did any one get approved under the new system?

if so how long was it pending?

@Pritshghoshh

You submitted application ?

Did any one get approved under the new system?
if so how long was it pending? - @Pritshghoshh

I heard that the new system is pretty faster, many get the result after sharp 6 months

I applies on last week of July using new System under sponsorship scheme. Its still in pending state

Mine too, still pending.

me too applied in july. What is difference between pending and processing application?

Has anyone screenshots showing that the status is "Pending" or "Processing" in the new e-PR system. I'm not sure if it matters if the wording is different and I think it has always been "Processing Application" .

I see pending from myICA account but its processing from main sponsor's account. I think thats the difference but its same thing

@AADVIK

Hi Aadvik, your application status is showing as pending or currently processing ? Also once you submitted the documents did ica approach you for any documents ?

My application showing processing. After submission of of documents ICA did not ask any further clarifications or documents.

@AADVIK

As per the new mad trend on social media, processing applications are getting rejected and pending applications are getting approved

Mine since day-1 its showing processing application.

Hello everyone,

I've been keeping up with the discussions on the chances of PR approval in 2024, and I would like to hear your thoughts regarding the PR approval for my particular case.

Here are some details:

Nationality: Burmese

Age: 29

Single

Occupation: Officer with a salary of $5300

I have worked in singapore for 5 years

I applied for PR in February on my own, and I do volunteer as well. My ethnicity is Chinese

I would greatly appreciate any insights or advice you may have. Thank you!

@GVSR2011

May I know the Source?

I can see both pending and processing at different pages (dashboard , myICA) of my application.

Maybe the "Pending" status is for the applications before the new e-PR update and the "Processing Application" is for the newer one?

@krish35

I am also not sure but someone was asserting in anothwr ? Can i ask about your profile ? And this is 1st application for you ?

@GVSR2011 I am Single,26 yrs old and graduated from local uni in 2019. Currently working on AI . Well this is my 2nd attempt. How abt u?

Hello.

We applied for PR in May 2024, additional docs were requested in Nov 2024 and the adhoc submission button is missing since early this week. Our profile is as follows:

Main Applicant: 35 YO, Sri Lankan Malay working in tech. 15+ years of exp, 6 in SG. Annual 220K. Holds BSc and MBA.

Spouse: 29 YO, Sri Lankan Moor working in tech. 8+ years of exp, 5 in SG. Annual 160K. Holds BEng.

Kid 1: 2 YO, Boy. Born in SG, Attending PG.

Kid 2: 3 MO, Boy. Born in SG, Attending IFC. (Born during the application being processed)

We didn't know the second kids' gender during application, but attached a cover letter mentioning that we are expecting and that we do intend to obtain PR for him/her if granted.

What are our chances on PR?

@nasgexpat Your post is full of unexplained abbreviations and therefore difficult to read and understand.

You are welcome to read related forum discussions to assess what your approval chances might be.

My apologies @beppi. I have re-added the comment below without any abbreviations. Hope this is clearer.

@nasgexpat I have never heard of a "Sri Lankan Malay" or "Moor". WhIch Singapore category do you fall under: "Malay", "Indian" or "Other"? Since there are separate quotas for these, it does matter!

@Michael Ko Htat You can increase your chances by marrying a Singaporean or racially Chinese - and start a family. Good luck!

@nasgexpat

What is the status of your application since applied,(is it currently processing or pending) when you click on enquire status while checking application?

@beppi Main applicant and kid under Malay while the spouse is under Others.

@GVSR2011 It is pending. Been like this since day 01.

I think your pr will get approved if it is pending and not processing.....all the best.....

I am happy to share  my application has been approved ,finally.
