Case Study: Single Indian Female with 2 Years of Work Experience Secures PR in Singapore On her 03rd Attempt

Introduction

It can be daunting to navigate the complex guidelines and uncertainties of the Permanent Residency (PR) application process, particularly for applicants who have recently moved to Singapore. This case study illustrates how a single Indian woman, with just two years of work experience in Singapore, was able to obtain the PR Status on her third attempt. 

Background

Our client is a business consultant with one of the leading pharmaceutical companies in the world. Having gained valuable education and work experience in Australia, she was offered a permanent role in Singapore with an Employment Pass and arrived in Singapore in March 2020.

She first applied for PR in October 2020 but was rejected after four months. Feeling dejected, she sought advice from her colleagues, who suggested she participate in local events to demonstrate her efforts to integrate within the local community. She dedicated three months to voluntary work and donations before submitting her second application in June 2021. After an anxious eight-month wait, she was rejected again. On the brink of giving up, she came to E&H Immigration after a friend recommended our services.

How Did E&H Immigration Help Her?

Our team conducted a thorough assessment of her strengths and weaknesses, devising a tailored strategy to enhance her PR application. Here’s the approach we took:

PR Application Challenges

Short Career in Singapore: With only two years of work experience in Singapore, our client worried that her short tenure might be seen as a lack of economic contributions to the country.

Single Status: As a single woman, she was afraid that her application would not be given the same consideration as those of people who had family in Singapore.

Social Integration Efforts: Despite her efforts, she was concerned that her three months of philanthropic activities with the Red Cross and other non-profit organizations were not significant enough to demonstrate her commitment to the local community.

PR Application Strengths

Young Applicant: Her young age was a significant advantage. Being young, she has the potential to marry and start a family in the future, thus integrating deeper into society.

Career Building Potential: At the beginning of her career journey in Singapore, she has ample time to increase her standard of living and make substantial contributions to the research and development of the pharmaceutical industry in Singapore.

Financial Stability and Long-Term Roots: She had a significant amount of liquid cash flow in a local Singapore bank and had purchased a range of insurance policies, including life, hospital, and endowment plans, demonstrating her financial stability and long-term commitment to Singapore.

Our Strategy

Highlighting Long-Term Potential: We emphasized her young age and potential to build a long-term career in Singapore, showcasing her commitment to contributing to the country’s economy and society.

Showcasing Professional Contributions: We detailed her current and potential future contributions to the pharmaceutical industry, a key sector in Singapore’s economic landscape.

Demonstrating Financial Stability: We presented her financial investments and insurance policies as evidence of her intention to establish long-term roots in Singapore.

Community Involvement: We highlighted her ongoing community involvement and philanthropic activities, demonstrating her willingness to integrate and contribute to the local community.

The Outcome

We submitted her application for the third time on April 2022. After 11 months of anticipation, our client was thrilled to learn that her PR application had been approved. This success story underscores the importance of a well-crafted application that highlights an individual's long-term potential and commitment to Singapore.

Conclusion

This case study illustrates that with the right strategy and professional guidance, even individuals with perceived disadvantages can successfully navigate the PR application process. At E&H Immigration, we leverage industry best practices to help our clients achieve their immigration goals, ensuring their applications showcase their strengths and long-term value to Singapore.
